The role is contractual (not regular employment) and initially one year — plan accordingly.
Keep copies of all documents (original + self-attested) ready; maintain proof of dispatch of application.
Pay the application fee with proper DD and keep the receipt/acknowledgment for your reference.
Since the last date is close (28 Nov 2025), don’t delay — factor in postal transit time.
Monitor the bank website for any updates/corrigenda regarding number of vacancies, date change, etc.
