Dude nobody is crying. No need to be so rude. Everybody is sharing their honest experiences here. Some people have good experience but some have bad experience. Should we ask the ones with bad experiences to not post their grievances here?
If that happens then everyone who reads this thread will think the work of Bank PO is a bed of roses but its far from it. Unlike other jobs where you have definite work hours, a BANK PO doesn't even have that luxury because many are forced to work till late night. So its easy to understand why many people get demotivated.
Can any one share their experience as an IT Officer ?
CaptainNemo SaysCan any one share their experience as an IT Officer ?
Yes, what do these specialist officers do?
yar can nebody tell me when sbi po forms wil be out....
ugupta88 SaysGuys, Please stop crying on this thread. You are welcome to share your experience but you have no right to scare other aspirants. In today's world there are challenges in each and every job. No job is a cakewalk neither private sector nor public sector. There is no perfect job. There is workload everywhere.
As powish said no one wants to cry here we have friends, relatives and colleagues to share. we r not afraid of challenges it's more abt the work conditions and cost benefit analysis , that doesn't work favorably, hope u understand

and its a private bank but it has a very good work culture...n joy
For last 1.6 yrs,, i m in BOB as DRO, in rural branch of chittorgarh dist,,, job is nothing else doing pre-inspection of loans, passing cheques,, making obc's,,, even passbook printer at my table,, free at 6'o clock,, & 8'O clock at time of march,,, 3 yr in rural means,, advantage,,, islie baithe hai,,rest is ok,,, 😃
my training is almost over ...cwe ka score bhi aa gaya....i think this is the right time to share my banking experience of 6 months
banking in my words
banking ek badi khoopsurat si saza hai
banking aur ishq main zyada farak nahin hai..
ishq bhi badi khoopsurat si saza hai
every psu bank is offering a carrer of officer to gm in 18 yrs...ye suune main to bada accha lagta hai that without an iim degree one can rose to the level of gm in an organisation in 18 yrs
par ye safar hai nahin asaan aag ka dariyan hai aaur doob ke jaaana hai par
is falling in love worth ....ye to vohi aashiq bata sakta hai jiska dill tutt gaya hois the journey of officer to gm is worth ye to vohi GM bata sakta hai jo RETIRE ho chuka hi
acchi girlfriends milti rehti hai to life seems a fairy taleacche branch managers milte hai to life seems a fairy tale
cunning girlfriends milti hai to jhatke lagte hai....aur ek time aata hai insaan bolta hai pyar vyar sab bekar...ab to bas hamka peeni hai peeni hai baar baar:drinking:cunning BM milte hai to ek promotion le liya, doosra le liya teesra le liya.....uske baad full stop ....bhagvaan ka naam lo baar baar
jokes apart on a serious note
i use to think that banking is about taking deposits and using that to give advances and doing investment
apni jaaib ki book main bhi ye defination hai
but....is defination ke andaar ek mahasaagar chupa hai...jisko ko saat janmo main bhi explain nahinkar sakta
banking is toooooooooo vast
in this 6 months i have worked in 5 branches and i have only got 1 bad manager..rest i had good managers...
banking has changed my personality allot b coz its about public dealing........so i have become very good at dealing with public
i use to think that routine was boring but routine banking is the base of the banking...one who doesn't have knowledge of routine banking .....can't work that smoothly in laons and forex
operations in forex is routine in foreign currency....but need to have knowledge to conduct these operations
operation theatre(back end) of forex like issuing BG,NFB limit/lc is done by loans ppl
bank main clerk banne se accha to call centre main kaam karna hai in my view....coz...work is of data entry and its too much remuneration is not equal to work load..but it may increase to 18k in 2012....so its upto u to descide
officers pe workload kaafi zyada hai if we compare the renumeration what we get is not worth.....jiss hisaab se hum log kaam karte hai ......apni salary 50k honi chahiye..according to market...like in federal bank its 40k
more over kutch dhakaan hote hai banks main jo new recruits ko exploit karte hai........jo bacche shareef hote hai vo cope up nahin karte ...frustrate hoke resign kar dete hai....kyunk 22k itna zulm koi nahin seh sakta
par kuch mujh jaise besharam hote hai jo ....in ghonchu ko GPL kar dete hai
aur apna perfomance appraisal c lete hai......aur tab bhi mast rehte hai
bhaiyon lots of u are going to join psu in coming days and lots of my friends who have join
i just want to say.....learn as much as u can...stay away as far as u can from assholes of banking world....be dabaang as much as u can.......never care for perfomance appraisal..car for ur satisfaction and learning
2 saal ke andar aap apne aap ko knowledge aur experience itna rich karlo ki u sell like hot cakes on naukri.com......just in case.if ur ******* manager does not allow u to get promoted just b coz u said NO sir i refuse to get exploited by u
in case u guys have forgot its a govt job totally secured...u won't be fired if u say no to ur boss
marketing and cross selling has come into psu's ...if u want a good perfoamnce appraisal u have to bring in business.....pressure cooker has arrived in psu's also
target achievement has become necessary
marjeting has become essential if one has to survive in banking...agar nahin kar sakte to.. kisi ggaaon main jao aur dairy ke loans karo
customer is god....and u are his servant..coz he is giving u business and this business is giving u salary
ab psu'sbhi laon dete hue ye dekhte hai ki paisa vaapas aa jayega na...aur risk lle letei hai coz its need of the hour...govt ko paisa chaiye apne daily routine chalane ke liye if psu's can't give them income...they will sell it
private culture in terms of giving advances has arrived in psu's
compaint...koi psu main kar de to higher authority maa bhen kar deti hai us complain ki resolve karne main..aur jis officer ke against comlian hui uski bhi maa bhen kar deti hai coz govt ki reputaion ka savaal hai agar akhbaar main galti se aa gaya to pranab mukhrjee ki badnaami, sarkaar ki badnaami,..in short tehlka
complaint in private....private banks protect their employess if they are right
kyunki...agar akhbaar main aa bhi gaya to ..to kya hoga...stock price kam hoga...lekin jab quarterly profit 25% growth hogi to stock price badega , share holder khush, cmd khush, employees khush, incentivees
jaisse koi first time beer peta hai to kisi ko kadvi lagti hai to vo phir kabhi nahin peeta
par jisko acchi lag jaati hai vo phir meri tarah baar baar peeta hai
vaisse hi banking hai jissko kadvi lag jaati vo chod deta hai
par jisko acchi lag jaati hai fir usko meri tarah banking ka nasha ho jaata hai
banking kya hai koi zubbani nahi baata sakta.........u guys have to take the risk of tasting it risk is the bond amount
jab tak daaru taste nahin karoge to pata kaise chaalega kaisi hai....koi kehta hai dawai hai koi kehta boori cheez hai koi kehta hai must hai
but it is u who has to decide what is beer/banking to u
u have to take the risk
pardon me for spellings and gramm errors ..
officers pe workload kaafi zyada hai if we compare the renumeration what we get is not worth.....jiss hisaab se hum log kaam karte hai ......apni salary 50k honi chahiye..according to market..
Agreed Saurab Bai, apni salary bhi badhegi ek din.
guys
in Nov , new pay commison will come and salary will rise by 30%. Dont worry
really it vl be great if this happen but how u r sure about 30%..... ho gaya to tere muh me ghee shakkar bhai......
can anyone share their experience as IT officer ?
I totally agree to every aspect of your story. My experience is also very much similar to yours (may be a little more disheartening). I am presently posted at Rourkela and will soon share my story.
My experience as SBI PO(RB) ......
After Kanikaz and rat,it is my turn to share my expereince as PO in sbi...
It is strange that pagalguy has 3 threads for "probationary officer test" and even started fourth one and all these threads have numerous strategies to crack po exam but noone ever give the exact PO job description. Number of candidates got selected and no one ever returned to tell about po EXCEPT A FEW....
Like u all, earlier i was dying to be a Po especially Sbi po. i was exciting and eagerly waiting for the day when i wud get sbi po id and wud see sbi.co.in before my name but when it became true happiness was completely missing.
I belong to National Capital Region and ahmedabad circle is alloted to me.SBI Ahmedabad circle is deficit circle as gujarat is a rich state and people here do nottake promotion and they started their career as clerk and retired as clerk too. so this circle always need staff esp POs....And i and my friends thought that after 3-4 yrs we wud be able to get back to our native place even i asked this posting criteria from some sbi officers there but when i came to gujarat i found thet picture is completely different......
Majaor problem in SBI is POSTING...
1. We wud never get posting in our native place as most of us come from major cities of India like patna,delhi,noida,gurgaon,jaipur,kanpur,lucknow,chandigarh etc..as sbi never need staff there as these places are always overcrowded.
2.We wud be able to submit our transfer request after 5 yrs and which will be accepted after 5 yrs as there are 1000s of application before our application and seniority criteria is considered in posting issues so after 10 yrs we may get posting near out native and this time may increase to 15 yrs too...and i think 10-15 yrs is a long time.This time sbi will not consider marriage criteria of gals as they said most of u come from major cities and all of u wanted to go there by marrying so why we recruit u.we recruit u for this circle :(
3.In delhi circle,around 140 PO(General)+ 60 PO(RB) got posting and this circle is largest circle of sbi.This include Delhi,ncr region,uttarakhand,rajasthan and 16 districts of UP and as my friends told me that only those guys got delhi city posting who have big jack in sbi and others get rural posting.
4.Sbi gave hard postings in Ahmedabad circle and a few get cities posting like in Ahmedabad,baroda,rajkot,surat etc and others get rural posting includiong PO (General) and Po(rural business) and some of places belong to tribal belt where there is big problem of infrastructure. My PO(G) frnd got posting near saurashtra and he told me that infrastructure
is so bad that there is no tea stall near the branch...
5.SBI has branches everywhere.There is a place where area belong to wildlife sanctuary and sometimes snakes & cobras come to sbi branch 😞 and bank gave posting to 2 gals(1PO(General)+PO(RB)). My question is not that- Why gals ??
My question is that how sbi can have such audacity to open branch at such place and can expect people to work there by putting their life on stake.
So, these are some problems of posting in sbi which discourages u sometimes.....
And during 2 yr probation we have 6-7 transfers but within our circle....
Now come second issue---
Sbi has very high work pressure.I m posted in a tribal belt taluka and my branch is main branch....and scale -4 branch...My work time here are 10:30am to 8.30pm but they expected more .....and when asked my Branch Manager (BM) to go back to house he said- madam i m also PO and i stayed till 11:00 pm daily so expect the same from u ....and next day come with mindset to stay long here...
On saturday, sbi po like me have to stay till 6.00 pm as i m PO......
So the conclusion is - 6 days working for po and timings for weekdays is from 10.30am to 9-10pm daily and on saturday till 6.00pm-7.00 pm.....and sometimes come on holidays too ......
Now come third issue---
I have read in one post that in which someone said that at scale -2, ur life wud be pleasant as u wud be manager and u will give only orders to ur staff.....and i8 have read that private an foreign banks have targets....but in reality when u become scale-2 in sbi then targets come into picture. then u wud have target for deposits,advances etc and u have to achieve that target as u wud be pressurized by ur senior officers and u have to answer them which may make ur
life hell:(:(
And if u doing gud work then bank may make u bm of small branch where u have no business of even Rs40 but bank wud give u target of Rs 5 crores and it is ur headcahe to bring business for branch that's why PO has to work as field officers and has to roam to give loan to people as he/she has to achieve target of giving laons but sometimes these loans become NPA which
create other problems...
Even there are some problems too.Bank give u posting at such place where u cannot keep ur family with yourself and if u r living nearby with ur family then ur senior officer will not allow u to commute as u have to take care of each and everything of branch including atms...and i m saying this as i have seen it in the case of my BM.
Now come salary structure ...
i think sbi po has ctc of around 6lac on paper but salary is not so tempting ....
basic - 16900
da-49.95 but it vary with each quarter...as most of u know....
hra- 8.5% to 6.5 % according to place of posting....
ANd Rs 4425 deducted for PF and Contributory pension .....
Perks-
40litre p[etrol for 2 wheeler and 50 litre for 4 wheeler .... but petrol sanction depend on ur BM...like we r outsiders means come from different state and our vehicle is at ou home but in most cases BMs do not sanction petrol as our vehicle is far away and we can not put it with ourselves as we have frequent transfer... our first branch is for 9 weeks but in other branches we wud stay around 2 months or less so do not prefer to keep vehicle with us...so alternative conveyance charges- Rs710
Rs350-newspaper
Rs-310-labour of maid
Rs-600- cleaning....
so these are the perks we r getting now so total in hand salary is around 24K
and lease is taking a lots of time for sanctioning .....
Now come Work profile-
every transaction include money & sometime in large amount so risk come more as PO is authorizing officer and SBI assigned SS no (Specimen signature no) to each PO and offi so if u commit any mistake then bank will track u thru ur SS no and may file chargesheet against u even u left bank earlier....i have been told that bank does not leave any officer ...
i have seen during annual closing i.e., in march ...some of the clerks took long holidays and then it was the headache of BM as he/she was accountable to answer everyone....
Now u all wud be thinking that i m facing all this as i m PO(Rural business) and sbi recruited sbi po (urban) so they will get city posting forever....but the underlying truth is that--
SBI recruited PO(General) and not PO(urban) and PO(Rural business)
PO(RB) has to work in rural/semi urbna branches for 10yrs and they have to learn more than po (G) as we have to learn about general banking nad rural business and for this we r getting extra 1 week training in sbi institutes like in SBI rural development centre in hyderabad....and no other things have been decided fro pO(rb) and recently MR. O.P. Bhattji has retired and new chairman Mr Pratip Chaudhari has taken the rein of SBI in his hands... so lets see where he has taken us...
And Po(rb) has specific category so we wud be posted mostly in talukas and cities but PO(G)has no category so they can be posted anywhere including rural areas...and there is 2ys rural assignment is mandatory for every officer otherwise promotion will be stopped as bank has become strict in this case....these days...
And bank is ready to give promotion but we r not ready to get it now after knowing these things abt PO career ...and conclusion is SBi is giving a mobile life(due to large no of transfers),risky career and less salary.....
And it is strange that sbi has make its transfer policy strict with our batch as before sbi is known for flexible postings ....
*******************
With SBI PO job i have little hope to be posted in my native one day and my life will go on achieving Financial inclusion in the interiors of gujarat with no family life as large no of constraints as PO has in his/her career so my life wud be confined only for SBI but i feel my life is mine and for my dear ones.... whenever i used to see sbi logo i always have the fell to be sbi po oneday but what type of life it is offering to us is really not as per our expectation and that is the raeson when AGM(HR) came to meet us in SBLC then staff restricted us asking any transfer related question as it wud irritate him so most of us asked what is resignation policy of sbi and how much one has to server notice period if one leave SBI..a.nd when DGM asked with 61 candidates that how many want to spend more than 20yrs with SBI then only 10 candidates out of 61 raised hands......this is type of frustration we all r having and Ahmedabad circle is deficit circle of sbi as gujarat is rich state and people join banks as clerk and retired as clerkjs nad interested more in business rather than in job....so POs who came here from other state cud not go back even after 25 yrs... but being a gal this type of job wll make my life a hell.....and sbi is a reputed organization and being its officer bring lots of social pressure from all corners of society so u can not leave it until u get better prospect....
My 2 friends tried to convince me not to go SBI PO but i never heard them and one of is pagalguy friends....
Earlier i was so keen for sbi po that i left my other interview calls for PO and i left LIC AAO as i have to take a flight for ahmedabad that night and was keen not to loose my seniority by 1 second..... and even i did not prepare for RBI grade B as i felt that if i prepared rbi grade b now then i will not do justification with my dream job SBI PO...but now all things have changed.... now i want to move ahead... i want to move ahead within 1 yr at any cost...hope so NABARD wud come with vacancies soon and one day i aspire to be RBI Grade B ......my nxt destination is NABARD or RBI ....hope so when i got them i don't feel the way i felt with sbi po....
Now i m feeling much relieved as i was occupied with the dream of PO for the last 3c yrs but now this phase is over...and my every step wud be away from sbi and towards RBI grade B ...and one day i wud post my expereince as RBI Grade B...and thanks to sbi po as i have learnt a lots of things abt RBI grade b due to frustration which has started stiring up....
MY some analysis-
1. BANK PO job is gud for short term career especially take 3-4 yrs exposure in commercial banking and do mba from premier colleges and get placed in private na d foreign banks with high package...
2.SBI is big brand so more rigid regarding posting and other things but other small banks like United bank of India and corporation bank etc are keen to give home posting first as they do not want to loose tech savvy candidates these days...so try to refer small banks .....
Sorry for long posts and groans are welcome :):)
I totally agree to every aspect of your story. My experience is also very much similar to yours (may be a little more disheartening). I am presently posted at Rourkela and will soon share my story.
PLZ help i got 356 marks in ssc and interview was fantastic panel was impressed with me. Iam also selected in UCO bank po and also may be getting home posting. Iam also pursuing MBA from Pune university pumba 1st year.So what should i do as in ssc posting may be anywhere as i filled all states.In bank po i heard there is lot of exploitation but i feel with PO i should prepare for CAT or UPSC. SO plz advice me plz PM me.Also if anyone has bank po experience in uco bank plz mention.THANKS.
I wish to post my SBI PO exp soon.....Mainly coz mine is so diff from the other stories out here....
check post
From April 1st saturday will also be off
5 days Banking
psu banks to go 5 days a week bankpo.in
Well i m not a pessimist but this 5 days working makes me sceptic.....the 5 days working seems unrealistic at this moment coz the penetration of ALTERNATE DELIVERY CHANNELS like i-banking, atms, kiosks is very less in our country except in metros n some urban cities....will giv u one example...in my branch alone atleast 250 no. of payments and around 150 receipts comes on daily basis including Saturday:banghead: and tat also when we have an on-site atm!! So my branch is an acute example of failure of Alternate Delivery Channels...but yes if it happens then i bet bank PO will emerge as a dream job for everyone!! Looking for the good times ahead
it was the stage which i was looking for and hope i get answer to my query
first of all i want to thank all the members who have shared their real experiences as bank po.
i am an engineer and after completion of my btech i have worked in pvt sector banks as not interested in tech jobs.
recently i have completed my mba with specialization in mkg.
i wanted to join any govt job with my mba qualification but i didnt get any opportunity.
only option available to me is the banking sector i have good knowledge of banking and i am interested in banking as i dont have any other options.
friends my query is i have been selected as a po in public sector bank and at the same time selected as specialist officer marketing scale 2 in public sector bank.
i am unable to decide which one to opt.i am a person who can handle any of the 2 jobs but which one is good for future i am unable to decide.
for scale 2 i get better salary than po but what abt the future growth.
friends as u all have experience working in psb pls help me too find the difference between specialist officer scale 2 and po
Post deleted
this was such a candid thread..i alomost all d pain described here...situation is too grim in d banking industry..i wish i did read this thread before i joined d banking industry....
anyways..
I will definetly take out some time to describe my experience in bank as aP.O.
My experience as SBI PO(RB) ......
After Kanikaz and rat,it is my turn to share my expereince as PO in sbi...

Earlier i was so keen for sbi po that i left my other interview calls for PO and i left LIC AAO as i have to take a flight for ahmedabad that night and was keen not to loose my seniority by 1 second..... and even i did not prepare for RBI grade B as i felt that if i prepared rbi grade b now then i will not do justification with my dream job SBI PO...but now all things have changed.... now i want to move ahead... i want to move ahead within 1 yr at any cost...hope so NABARD wud come with vacancies soon and one day i aspire to be RBI Grade B ......my nxt destination is NABARD or RBI ....hope so when i got them i don't feel the way i felt with sbi po....
Now i m feeling much relieved as i was occupied with the dream of PO for the last 3c yrs but now this phase is over...and my every step wud be away from sbi and towards RBI grade B ...and one day i wud post my expereince as RBI Grade B...and thanks to sbi po as i have learnt a lots of things abt RBI grade b due to frustration which has started stiring up....
MY some analysis-
1. BANK PO job is gud for short term career especially take 3-4 yrs exposure in commercial banking and do mba from premier colleges and get placed in private na d foreign banks with high package...
2.SBI is big brand so more rigid regarding posting and other things but other small banks like United bank of India and corporation bank etc are keen to give home posting first as they do not want to loose tech savvy candidates these days...so try to refer small banks .....
Sorry for long posts and groans are welcome :):)
