About IBPS:
IBPS currently functions as an
autonomous body that is mainly engaged in conducting competitive exams for
recruitment to clerical and officers' posts in the banking sector.
Earlier, candidates had to write multiple exams conducted
by each bank for their vacancies. But from 2012, the Recruitment process has
been changed. Now IBPS conducts five exams every year for banking sector
recruitment. There are two exams for probationary officers, two for clerical
levels and one for specialist officers (agricultural, law, technical).
After their nationalization in
India in 1969, Indian banks needed to expand their branch network across the
country so that they were more accessible to their customers. This required more
staff but recruitment through methods such as advertising were unsatisfactory.
Thus, the banks asked the National Institute of Bank Management (NIBM) to
design a selection testing process through which they could hire proficient
candidates. In 1984, the NIBM department that handled the test was converted
into the IBPS.
