Coimbatore, July 10: Bank of India plans to recruit about 4,500 personnel both in the officer
and clerical cadres in the current year, said Vijayalakshmi R. Iyer,
the bank’s Chairperson and Managing Director.
Commenting on non-receipt of call letters by thousands of aspirants who
had cleared the bank exams and the interview, she said “there has been a
slight delay in the process. They will be getting the letters in due
course.”
She said the banks indicate to the Institute of Banking Personnel
Selection (IBPS), which is entrusted with the task of selection, the
number of officers they need. The question of sending call letter may
only be “a small aberration… and I don’t see any other reason for it.”
On reports of many candidates who take up bank jobs only to quit in a
short time, Vijayalakshmi Iyer said banks normally recruit about 30 per
cent more staff than required to meet such contingencies.
It was possible that the selected candidates might not join a particular
bank for some reason. But since they had gone through the entire
selection process, it may not be that they did not prefer a banking
career.

to work with “quite a few banks” to initially train some 1,000 bankers
at a time in the academy which is coming up on the outskirts of
Coimbatore.
He said the academy will be training the staff of Bank of India, Central
Bank of India and Corporation Bank and is in talks with three more
banks. With regard to private sector banks, he said discussions were on
with “two large private sector banks” to customise programmes for them.
