Around 80,000 vacancies are expected to open at top public sector banks in the country, including State Bank of India, as a large number of officers and staff will superannuate over the next two years.

Considering vast vacancy in the middle-level position, the government is planning to provide some flexibility in the recruitment.

The Finance Ministry is going to provide flexibility with regard to recruitment at the middle level. Currently, they can hire on contractual basis.

Public sector banks undertake recruitment of staff to fill vacancies on ongoing basis as per their requirements depending upon business volume, business growth employee strength and retirement among others.

Last week, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had said banks are extremely keen in campus recruitments, but there are legal difficulties.

"The banks are extremely keen to do that (campus hiring) ...There is now judgement of the Supreme Court which is not giving adequate flexibility to government banks how to do it and that is handicapped which the banks have flagged. We are examining the legal position. But as of today there is a legal impediments in that," he had said.

We oppose Campus recruitment for a Govt. Institution.
This will end up with recruitment of favored ones, and from colleges of their choice.
It is an effort to select efficient from a smaller group of students from selected Institutions/Colleges..
Whereas as In IBPS every one from all over India can participate.
Campus Recruitment is a move against Social Justice.
That is why Court has rightly banned the Campus recruitment.
