PwD candidates get +10 years relaxation (effective upper limit: 40 years). Age is calculated as on 18 August 2026 (online registration opening date).

Basic pay range is ₹48,480–₹67,160 (Level JMG/S-I). After deducting approximately 10% towards National Pension System (NPS) and income tax based on your slab, in-hand salary typically ranges ₹40,000–₹55,000 per month. This varies by city (HRA differs), your exact placement in the pay scale, and personal tax liability. Use the salary calculator tool to estimate your exact in-hand amount.

Bank of Baroda has branches across India. Your posting is decided by the bank's organizational requirement after your joining. Some banks consider state preference at the time of appointment if you mention it in the form. However, you must be prepared to work at any location as per bank's requirement. Transfers to other branches are part of officer-level employment and can happen every 3–5 years.

Your caste certificate is valid if it is issued by the competent authority of your scheduled caste in any state. However, it must clearly list your caste name in the official scheduled caste list notified by the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment. Domicile is not a constraint for this all-India recruitment unless the notification specifies otherwise.

Yes, degrees from distance education and open universities (e.g., IGNOU, distance MBAs) are acceptable as long as the institution is recognized by UGC (University Grants Commission) or approved by the relevant regulatory body (AICTE for technical degrees). However, your degree must be complete and awarded before the application closing date. You cannot apply on the basis of a pending degree.

Stage 1: Online Written Examination (CBT) covering quantitative aptitude, reasoning, English language, and general awareness. Stage 2: Group Discussion and Personal Interview assessing banking knowledge and soft skills.
