Which Banks to Prefer among the Participating Banks in IBPS PO 2012

This is very common question among the IPBS PO 2012 Passed candidates. While giving preference, you have to think about salary & allowances and posting location.

  • Salary: Salary and allowances are more or less same for all participating banks. So, no need to worry about that.


  • Posting Location: It is best to choose banks which have more number of branches in your state. For example, In Andhra Pradesh, Andhra Bank have more number branches compare to others. It is the lead bank in many areas. So that your chances of posting in your state will be high.


  • Banks Merger: There is a proposal of merging banks. This is also important while giving preferences. I am not sure whether it will be implemented or not. But Chindambaram is serious about this issue and released a circular to all banks about the proposal. Following banks are going to be there after merger as per the proposal.
    1. PNB 2. BOI 3. BOB 4. CBI 5. Canara Bank. There is a proposal of merging SBI and BOI also.


  • PO has to work anywhere in country. There is policy that one has to work out of state for 3 years. It is better to go out of state in the early stage because many of you are bachelors. It is tough to move out of state after getting married.


  • These are the things you have to mind while preparing your list of preferences. I cant give any list because it depends from person to person based on the criteria that i have mentioned above.
