    • Manjinder
      B. Ed will not be having any benefit in Bank.
      What you can do is continue both. Join the bank and go for Leave without pay for a month or two during your B Ed exams.

  18. why anil..please elaborate…since i have decided to focus on ssc cgl 2016….i want to have power and money..but the attractive package of sbi po is diverting my focus…since both exams are totally different in nature…so please give better view regarding comparison between ssc cgl and sbi po so that i could make up my mind regarding what to go for.

    • If You r really a sincere and focused person the you should not ask such type of foolish questions You should hove the ability on your own that what is right for me and one more thing you are comparing jobs on the basis of POWER AND MONEY I M SORRY BUT Same On You ….You Don’t deserve even a peon job don’t you….

      • Vibhuti it looks like that if anyone offers u a peon job u will happily accept that sitting on a chair outside a room with nothing to do….because u dont want a good career and better future…u are happy in that fucking peon job…best of luck peon:)

        • AND ABOUT MY TUNE I THINK YOU ACTUALLY DESERVE IT COZ I M CANDID TO GIVE ANSWERS OF SUCH TYPE OF QUESTION AND FOR ME I AM ALREADY SELECTED IN PNB PO BUT DREAM OF SBI PO ..THANK YOU

          • its good that u are a po but from the above comment made by you just shows that u are a conceited person boasting about ur achievments…everyone has different goals…all i wanted to know from this site whether ssc cgl is better than sbi po in long term prospect…ultimately i am the only one who has to make the last decision…but before taking that final decision its good to hear some opinions regarding these two exams..but u didn’t have that etiquettes infact netiquettes about how to reply to a person’s question socially..talking rudely to any person on informative sites like this is really unpalatable….

  20. MB I want to ask something………i hv selected as clerk in syndicate bank (IBPS CLERK 5)…..they mail me this:-[The following documents in original and self attested photocopies in support of the candidate’s eligibility and identity are to be invariably submitted to Syndicate Bank,through Speed post latest by 21.05.2016]………..have i to send original documents too….i m in confusion…they told me for both original and photocopies…….

  21. Sir what is the expected date of sbi po exam? And how many questions will be there in the descriptive section?

    • Namrata
      It is most likely to be notified by the month end.
      The descriptive part will be having approx 3-4 questions
