📝 Selection Process

The selection process is primarily merit-based on the candidate's academic performance:

Merit List: The initial selection is determined primarily by the percentage of marks obtained in graduation.
Tie-Breaker: In case two candidates have the same graduation percentage, the candidate with the earlier date of birth is preferred.
Additional Rounds (Bank's Right): IPPB reserves the right to conduct an Online Test, Assessment, Group Discussion (GD), or Interview if deemed necessary due to the volume of applications or to ensure suitability for the role.
Document Verification: Mandatory document verification, including the NOC and Vigilance Clearance Certificate.

The recruitment for 309 Junior Associate and Assistant Manager (Scale-I) posts in IPPB is primarily merit-based on your graduation marks. Therefore, a fixed, formal "syllabus" may not be the initial focus.

📚 IPPB Tentative Online Test Syllabus

If an online test is conducted, it is expected to be a composite test of 150 questions for 150 marks with a duration of 120 minutes (2 hours).

1. Exam Pattern (If Test is Conducted)

Section	No. of Questions	Max. Marks	Time Allotted
English Language	20	20	15 minutes
Reasoning Ability	40	40	35 minutes
Quantitative Aptitude	40	40	35 minutes
Professional Knowledge	50	50	35 minutes
Total	150	150	120 minutes

Negative Marking: Typically, there is no negative marking for Specialist Officer (SO) posts in IPPB, but you should confirm this in the official notification if the bank decides to hold an exam.

2. Subject-Wise Topics (Likely Syllabus)

The syllabus for the general subjects is standard for banking examinations. The Professional Knowledge section will depend on the specific role.
