2014 likely to shower jobs as economy improves
The banking sector has drawn
up ambitious hiring plans for officers as well as administrative staff.
State-run banks are expected to recruit about 55,000 officers and
clerical staff in 2014. "On an average, in the next three years, the
banking sector will recruit about 50,000 employees," said Anup Sankar Bhattacharya, director at the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection.
The extent of demand for banking jobs is evident from the fact that
nearly 10 lakh candidates appeared in the written exams for 19,000
vacancies for officers in state-run banks. Out of 10 lakh, only 57,000
will be called for interviews.
