Selection Process and Exam Pattern
Selection has two stages: an online test and an interview. The online test has 200 questions in 2 hours.
| Paper | Questions | Marks | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reasoning | 50 | 25 | 30 min |
| English | 50 | 50 | 30 min |
| General Awareness | 50 | 25 | 25 min |
| Professional Knowledge | 50 | 100 | 35 min |
Here is what this means for you:
- Three papers are “qualifying”. Reasoning, English and General Awareness only need a pass. Their marks do not go into your final score.
- Professional Knowledge decides your rank. It carries 70% of your final score. The interview carries the other 30%.
- No minus marks. A wrong answer costs you nothing, so attempt every question.
Syllabus for Professional Knowledge
The notice gives 15 units for this paper:
- Security basics and principles
- Security management
- Risk assessment and risk management
- Security hardware, such as metal detectors, scanners and alarms
- Security software, such as SOPs and drills
- Fire safety and firefighting
- CCTV systems
- Manpower management
- Executive protection
- Disaster management and business continuity
- Information security
- IT security from the physical security side
- Liaison with police, army and other agencies
- Security management in banks, including cash, vaults and ATMs
- Administration and office management
How to prepare: Start with units 1, 3 and 14, because they link most closely to bank security work. Your service experience will help in fire safety, manpower and disaster management. For the qualifying papers, practise basic reasoning and English grammar from any bank exam book.
