The Banking Sector
The rapid growth of banking sector has created numerous job opportunities for deserving candidates. According to TKWs’ training director, Mr. Amit Goyal “With 53 being the average age of retirement 25 to 50 thousand employees will continue to retire from government banks every year”. This has resulted in creation of 40,000 government jobs in this year itself. The scope of jobs in banking sector is not limited to public sector alone. There are more than 1.5 lakh jobs which are likely to be created with the expansion of private banks in tier 2 and tier 3 cities.
In the private sector banks hire people with good soft skills and a background in commerce or finance at salaries ranging from Rs 12,000 to Rs 30,000 per month. However, most banks prefer to hire experienced candidates because of their knowledge of banking products and procedures. For government jobs, presently the candidates have to appear for various entrance examinations such as Bank PO, Bank Clerk, RBI Officer, etc. Keeping in view the professional skills that are required from banking staff the apex banker RBI has signaled the banks to have flexible recruitment policies towards professionally qualified manpower.
