Why a probationary officer post at State Bank of India is a bankable asset

In 2012, when State Bank of India invited applications for 1,000 probationary officer posts, around 5.1 lakh candidates across the country lined up for a shot.

This year, when the country's largest bank advertised for 1,500 vacancies for the same roles, 1.7 million candidates applied. If 510 candidates applied for every job available in 2012, 1,142 are now in the race for every probationary officer slot. Why such a jump in one year? "The lacklustre job market, competitive entry-level salaries and the perks have made us even more attractive," says SBI chief general manager (HR) Ranjit Goswami.

"In a dull market, any good opportunity is seeing a more-than-usual number of applicants. And SBI ranks right up there in terms of good opportunities," says A G Rao, managing director, ManpowerGroup India. Earlier this month, the Manpower Employment Outlook Survey of 5,370 employers across India reported that year-on-year hiring prospects have weakened by 19 percentage points. "Job security is naturally a big factor. Also, despite being a government organisation, SBI operates in a professional manner. Probationary officer positions are not just empowered but very well-paid as well," added Rao.

In the ongoing economic slowdown, with even IIM placements affected and the finance sector hit hard, jobs in public sector banks (PSBs), and particularly in SBI, are looking more attractive than ever before.

Not that it's ever suffered from a dearth of takers. Educated Indian middle class youth have always applied in large numbers for the SBI probationary officer exam. Job security is one big reason - an attribute ranked No 1 in terms of drivers of attraction by below 30-year-olds in the Towers Watson 2012 Global Workforce Study.

The pay too, more than holds its own against the private sector. The starting basic pay is Rs 16,900 applicable to junior management grade Scale 1 and the official will also be eligible for DA and HRA, the latter ranging from Rs 8,000 in rural areas to as much as Rs 29,500 in Mumbai. There are also medical benefits, loans at concessional rates, as well as other perks. The compensation per annum in Mumbai is pegged at Rs 800,000-plus.



The package is likely to see a further upswing soon after the unions and management wrap up their wage negotiations. "It may take another 6-7 months or more but the raise will be effective from November 2012," says Goswami. There are other reasons too. Making the final cut here depends only on the performance in the exam and the subsequent interviews. Previous academic records aren't taken into account; nor is the exam - as in the case of CAT - tilted in favour of those of a certain academic background. A Mukherjee, a B.Com graduate and PO hopeful, has been preparing for the last 3-4 months to crack the exam. "Unlike competitive exams, past academic scores don't matter. So it's a level playing field."

Says Randstad India MD& CEO E Balaji: "Even some of the most senior people at several MNC banks would have spent time in SBI at some point in their career. The scale SBI handles and the exposure it gives is huge."

At SBI, almost every senior official has gone through the probationary officer route to rise up the ranks. "The concept of lateral entry is practically non-existent. It happens only in specialised positions like IT and engineering, almost never in core banking," says Goswami.

He says that the bank's attrition rate is quite low. "In the next 2-3 years, some 5-6% of people at this level will leave the organisation, some to pursue studies, others for other jobs. After 4-5 years, very few people leave." Promotions apart, postings abroad, job rotation, training at premier institutions, including the IIMs, are among the rewards and recognition initiatives the bank doles out to its best and brightest.

Once through, probationary officers are on probation for two years, where they go through training. Post this, a confirmation test is held, on the basis of which high performers make it through to the next higher grade - officer middle manager grade Scale II.

EAMCET Counseling Procedure

Counseling is the difficult time for the students mainly of engineering stream where they will be in stress in selecting the course and college that is crucial for the rest of their life.

With the cooperation of authorities, this process has been made a comfortable for the students to choose their college and courses without any obstacle.

Kadapa is added to the list of Hyderabad, Vishakhapatnam, Guntur, Tirupati and Warangal as a counseling center. Students of Rayalseema are benefited by this act with which they are saving the time and travelling expenses. All the six centers carry out counseling at one time.

Details of the ranks called on each day of the counseling and the certificates to be brought to the centers are mentioned in the major newspapers by the Department of Technical Education (DTE).

Process of Counseling

Following are the certificates to be brought by the students as specified: income certificate, caste certificate issued by MRO or DRO (if applicable), study certificates from 6th class to Intermediate, memoranda of marks of Intermediate and SSC. Non-local candidates should bring a document which certifies the residence in the State for the last 10 years.

Candidates should register name, rank category, hall ticket number and time of reporting and should sign on the form at the registration counter before which they are made to wait in the waiting hall.

Checking of all original certificates will be done at the verification counter. Candidates are allowed to the main counseling centre only after the certificates are verified once again. Certificates are pinned when the documents are intact. Much or less the same process is conducted in all the centers across the state.

All the colleges having different courses are listed out for the student to choose as soon as the counseling officer enters the rank and hall ticket number into the computer. Details about the college, hostel facility and the faculty are provided by the Counseling officers.

A form is filled containing five options of the course and colleges selected by the student. Total information is shown on the system based on the preference listed in the form. Only one of the parents is allowed to the allotment counter along with the student. Final decision should be made by the student in consultation with the parent present there.

The counseling officer enters the option into the computer as soon as the candidate selects the options, which will be sent to the main server. Main server is connected to all the counseling centers across the state and receives the options of the students from all regions. Marks sequence is followed in allotting the seat to the students. All the details can be checked by the students like course chosen and the college allotted.

One- stop experience

After the clearance at the allotment counter, students need to go to the bank counters of various banks within the premises for the payment of the prescribed fee. Provisional allotment letter and fee receipt are given to the students. More than 150 students got their seat allotment done within one hour across the state in earlier years.

Detailed information

Students have the option of watching the process of seat allotment and the seats left in various courses and colleges even without entering the counseling counter. Seats allotment and regular updates are displayed on the big screen present outside the counseling counter. This arrangement has been made for students in the waiting hall and other places in order to know the seats remaining in a stream and the availability of the seats.

Students need not get worried that lower rank students getting admission before higher rank ones. The server software is intelligent that it allots the seats in the order of rank sequence only. If a 100th ranker enters the counseling counter, he will be given a seat only after the 99th ranker gets his seat irrespective of the region and counseling center.

Details like candidates name, hall-ticket number, course selected, category they belong and college preferred are displayed on the big screen arranged. It shows all the details of the students across all the regions of the state. So there is no chance of any malpractice anywhere.

In the first phase, the general category seats are completed thereby providing chance for every student to compete. Second phase is conducted for the special category candidates like NCC, sports, CAP and others. This will be followed by the counseling for general category again. Major newspapers contain all the information regarding this.

Local and non-local

Non local candidates will have no reservations. They can only compete for the 15% seats altogether. No university has more than 15% non local students, though they get better ranks. All the three regions Osmania, Andhra and Sri Venkateswara universities are following this rule.
