Some IBPS PO II Qualified candidates are protesting outside Rahul Gandhi's residence for last few days. These are the candidates who were declared qualified in IBPS PO II (after interview stage) but could not be alloted a  Bank.

IBPS started the common recruitment process of 19 PSU banks for probationary officers in 2011, but, in this first year of the recruitment process, there were no common interviews and IBPS just issued scores, rest it left to banks for publishing the vacancies, taking interviews and selecting candidates.

IBPS introduced the common interview process in IBPS PO II (the process started in 2012  and common interview result came out in March 2013). Total 7,50,000 candidates appeared for IBPS PO II, out of which 61339 candidates were qualified for interview process and finally approx 45000 candidates were gives a "Qualified" status after interview. In the common interview notification of IBPS PO II, IBPS mentioned -

"Depending on the vacancies in each bank of his/ her preference, a successful candidate will receive through a computerised system an offer from one of the Participating PSBs. Vacancies remaining unfilled on account of candidates declining offer, will be filled from among the remaining candidates, through subsequent iterations. "

IBPS did first round of allotment in March 2013, while second and third round of allotments were done in August 2013 and January 2014. After these three rounds of allotments, IBPS could allot a bank to only 28118 candidates and hence approx 19,000 candidates could not be allotted a bank.

Now, these candidates are demanding that before starting the allotment for IBPS PO III, first IBPS should accommodate these candidates and provide them a job.
