There’s More… Lot’s More!

If you thought that 1 million candidates is nothing for a ‘sarkari job’ entrance exam, then the applicants for Clerical Level are certainly blowing up the roof.

16.6 lakh or 1.6 million people have given application for just 8,300 posts here.

That’s insane considering the competitive level of this entrance exam. Also, imagine the plight of these candidates who must be studying day and night or practicing mock exam papers or searching for free mock test.

The Reason

There is an interesting reason for such high interest in Bank PO test online or even mock exam papers. The eligibility criteria is set in a manner that facilitates this.

For a probationary officer’s position, the criteria is low (graduation). The candidates however, do have to clear a written exam before an interview and group discussion round.

Another interesting fact is that nearly 70% of clerical level applicants are engineering graduates. Or, post-graduates in business administration.
