Age Limit to apply for Bank Jobs in India

To join any bank in India and to make it for the written exam,one of the eligibility condition posted by banks is - Age Limit. All public sector banks & private banks follow this criteria for the selection process mainly filter out initial competition.Since we often receive questions about this age factor,here are some points to clear the air.

Age Limits : For the post of Clerks 18 - 28 yrs & for Officers/PO posts 21 - 30 yrs would be the general condition. Apart from this, there are relaxations for candidates of certain categories -

Category	Upper age limit increased by
SC/ ST Candidates	5 years
OBC	3 years
Physically Challenged Candidates	10 years
Ex- Servicemen	5 years
Widows, Divorced women etc.,	9 years

* The data was compiled based on previous bank recruitments & may change. The final decision to include the relaxations, rests with the banking exam co-coordinator or those whose frame the criteria for bank exams.

Private Sector Banks : Although there are age limit to apply for private bank jobs, these relaxations may not applicable for their recruitments,as private sector picks suitable candidates through competitive exams.

Candidates must also understand that even though there are relaxations in age, they will have to compete with others to perform well in the written test, interview & reach the final selection.
