Start exam preparation early — given competitive nature and large number of aspirants for bank clerk posts. Use previous years’ question papers for PDCC Bank and cooperative bank exams in Maharashtra.
Focus on local language fluency and comprehension (Marathi) as it can be a deciding factor in cooperative bank recruitments in Maharashtra.
Prepare for numerical ability and reasoning with speed and accuracy, as these sections are typically time-bound and high competition.
For local language and general knowledge: keep up-to-date with Maharashtra state banking/co-operative sector issues, recent regulatory changes, agricultural credit/co-operative bank updates etc (as PDCC is a co-operative bank).
Keep track of your application reference number and login details for the online portal; once submitted, changes may not be allowed.
Ensure you apply well before the last date to avoid server/portal load issues.
If selected, be open to posting in any branch of the bank in Pune district; understand transfer/promotion policies of PDCC Bank so you make an informed decision.
