SBI Recruitment - 27000 Selected as Clerks

The final results of SBI clerical recruitment were out last week amidst high expectations. According to reports, around 27000 candidates have been shortlisted through the selection process.

More engineers: As per ToI report, the number of candidates selected for clerk posts in SBI clerks recruitment is 27000, while approximately 88000 were called for personal interview held in the months of April/ May 2010.It is mentioned that 4000 engineering graduates, 8200 women & 2000 ex-servicemen are part of this final list of 27,000

The country`s largest public sector bank – State bank of India (SBI) announced recruitment of clerks during November 2009, for which over 35 lakh applied. Although the initial advertisement was made only for 11,000 posts, it seems SBI had to increase that number considering the delay in announcing the results, as more retirements would have taken place during those months.

Trend to continue? This news is no surprise as BE graduates were looking for a more secure jobs, since IT companies – one of the top recruiters of engg. graduates in India had to go slow on hiring last year.

The recruitments have picked up now across all sectors but engineering graduates are still in the lookout for public sector jobs, stating less work pressure. This attitude is evident from the emails/ comments we receive everyday.
