CWE PO/MT-5 Exam Tips | How to fill preferences in IBPS Application Form

As many of the students are constantly bombarding the queries related to bank preference for IBPS PO 2015. We would like to inform you that we are presenting you the Preference List of the banks based on various criteria. These data are based on various market research and the choice of the students aspiring for a job in the banking sector.

 

Based on Headquarters of the banks-

 

The headquarters can be one of the criteria for choosing a bank. This is because whatever bank you chose, you will find more number of branches in the state where the headquarter is located. Now if we take the example of Bank of Baroda, it has more number of branches in Gujrat and the probability of getting the posting in Gujrat increases. So you can chose accordingly.

 

Following is the list of the banks with their headquarters. You can take it as a regional preference that can be near your place. As an example, suppose you reside in UP and you get the posting in Gujrat, then its okay and if you by mistake chose a bank that has a reach in Southern India, then it can be harder for you to accommodate and same is the case for vice-versa. So it's better to review what you have in mind.

On the basis of number of branches :

After checking the headquarter, the other thing that we should look for is Region Wise Branches. A bigger bank has more number of branches and vice-versa. A bank with more number of branches will have more number of employees and more number of employees and branches means there will be more number of vacancies. Also the chances of promotions will be more in such banks.

On the basis of Growth Opportunities in the banks :

If you are not worried about the location and you are looking for better growth opportunities then you can also choose the bank on the basis of net profit(a bank which is enjoying a good run will have a sound goodwill in the market) and it will eventually help a newcomer like you in the Banking Sector. And in such banks, you will get a hell lot of learning opportunity.

On the Basis of Banking Mergers and Central Government/PSU's
