IBPS PO / MT 2020 Notification Out !!!

IBPS has released the notification for the tenth PO/MT CWE (CWE PO/MT - X) for recruitment of PO/MTs (GBO) in 11 Public Sector Banks.

The tentative number of vacancies announced are 1417, a major drop in the number, when compared to the 4000+ PO vacancies announced last year.

A lot of Banks have not yet reported the vacancies. They may report at a later date, but before the final allotment. We will then see a significant increase in number of vacancies.

The student should not be deterred by the fact that the vacancies are less. Every Bank job aspirant should keep in mind that he/she needs just one job out of these 1417!!!
