Why No Kerala Vacancies?
Bank vacancies are reported state-wise by each circle. In this recruitment, Kerala did not report Junior Associate vacancies. Candidates from Kerala who applied for other states must clear the Local Language Proficiency Test of that state unless they studied the language in Class 10 or 12.
Kerala candidates can also look at IBPS Clerk 2026 and other bank openings that include Kerala vacancies.
Last-month Preparation Plan
- Daily one sectional test for each subject.
- Financial awareness: RBI policies, banking terms, government schemes and recent appointments.
