What if I prefer the bank that has not yet declared the number of vacancies? Will it affect my selection?

All the banks that have not yet declared the number of vacancies yet will declare them in dribs and drabs by the end of this year. So, you can apply for the banks that have not yet declared the number of vacancies and it will not affect your selection in any way.

Make your choice on the basis of the headquarters of these banks

To choose a bank on your preference list, its headquarter should be given the topmost priority. Every bank has the maximum number of its branches in the state its headquarter is located in. For example, Bank of Baroda has the maximum number of its branches in Gujarat. So, if you prefer this bank, probability of you getting posted in Gujarat increases. Although this bank conducts its recruitment process through PGDBF Programme at Manipal University, one can still put it as her first preference in the IBPS Clerk 2019 application form. Keep it in mind that a bank that has decided to recruit through this recruitment process will sooner or later declare the number of vacancies that need to be filled up for this financial year.

We are also providing you with the headquarters of all the banks that are participating in this year's IBPS Clerk recruitment process. You can make your choice on the basis of these headquarters as this will help you get posted in your native state or the state you prefer to be posted in. The other thing that one should keep in mind while making the choice is the work culture of the bank.
