IOB Apprentice Selection Process
The selection process for the Indian Overseas Bank Apprentice recruitment has a few steps. First, there is an Online Written Test. This test checks how well candidates know subjects like general awareness, English, reasoning, and computer skills. To move to the next step, candidates must score enough marks to qualify.
After passing the written test, candidates must take a Local Language Test. This test checks how well they can read, write, and speak the language of the state they applied for. If candidates studied the local language in their 10th or 12th grade, they don’t have to take this test as long as they can show a certificate proving it.
The last step is a Personal Interaction and Document Check. Here, the bank will see how well candidates communicate and decide if they are a good fit for the job. Candidates must also provide documents like their ID, proof of education, and other important papers to complete the process.
