Bank recruitment for various posts is carried out by IBPS. It is an efficient recruiter of posts like Bank PO and Bank Clerks. These recruitments are preceded by bank exams which are highly competitive in nature. Their difficulty level is quite high and the selection rate is very low. This is the reason why, only the best candidates are recruited for bank jobs as the selection procedure is quite tough. One has to put in all the efforts and has to be highly intellectual and aware in order to clear these exams. This year in 2011, the IBPS has adopted a new strategy to recruit individuals for the post of Bank PO and Bank Clerks. This new kind of recruitment exam is called CWE. It means common written exam, and as the term implies it is a common exam for all candidates which would recruit directly for 19 public sector banks of India.
The posts of Bank PO and Bank Clerks are highly sought after. Why is it so? Because they are the main hands behind every successful Bank. They carry out all the major functions in a bank. A bank po can do any work from basic things like scrolling, stamping, posting to important functions which ensure smooth functioning of a bank. Similarly, bank clerks are spread throughout various departments in any bank. He/she has to deal with customers, guide them in opening new bank accounts, close the previous ones and explain to them the plans offered by the bank. Bank clerks are also required to maintain important records of banks, manage loan information, prepare security documents, handle foreign affairs and may such vital functions.  Thus, a bank cannot function properly without a bank po and bank clerk. This is the reason they are in high demand and banks have adopted a stringent recruitment procedure for them. The tough question paper ensures that the most capable and deserving candidates are selected.
IBPS has introduced the CWE for these posts which would be conducted in 2011. As the post of bank po and clerk are in high demand, CWE would select a larger number of candidates for these posts which would be recruited if any vacancy arises in the banks involved. There are 19 banks involved which are well known in the banking sector.
Therefore, if you need to get a post as a Bank PO and Bank Clerk you can apply for the CWE in 2011. It will be like any other bank exam; however the competitive level would be much higher due to a larger recruitment facility. You need to prepare extra from the syllabus provided and the current affairs and score well.

Banks serve the vital purpose of fulfilling our monetary requirements for carrying out various important functions of our lives with the help of loans. They also ensure safety of our money. Today, with the opening of many private sector and government sector banks, there is a growing need of trained professionals in the banks in order to carry out the various functions in the bank. Similarly, with such a large demand of employees in the bank, in return the banks have to offer handsome pays with exciting perks which are very hard to resist. Bank recruitment not only provides you with additional benefits but also adds respect and honor to your name. However, one has to clear the challenging bank exams in order to get the job. The syllabus is huge and very tough. It not only contains academic information but also current affairs which makes the exam more difficult. This year, a strategy to conduct the bank exams has been adopted by IBPS, a body which conducts bank exams. It has introduced the common written exam to be conducted for the first time in 2011 for the post of Bank PO.

Banks exams are not easy to clear. It takes many attempts to clear these exams as the selection rate adopted by the bank is very low. Every person requires high scores in all the subjects in order to reach the interview round. The syllabus covers a large area and requires lot of time. A good Vocabulary is very important in order to clear these exams as a separate section consists of essays and other vocabulary related tests. Current affairs also cover a major portion not only in bank exams but also the interview session.

Bank PO is one the most preferred jobs offered by banks. Many candidates enroll themselves for this post every year. This has made the recruitment process quite difficult for the banks. Therefore, IBPS has come up with a novel strategy. It will be conducting common written exams in 2011. These exams will be a common platform for recruitment in 19 public sector banks for the post of bank po. The candidates passing this exam would be given a score card which they can later present when a vacancy arrives in any of the 19 banks.

Thus even though bank recruitment is a difficult procedure it can be cleared with hard work and dedication. With the introduction of CWE in 2011, by IBPS, recruitment would be less hectic for the banks.
