Doubts about Joining?
Having read about the expected joining dates, we know many of you might be having some doubts.Some
of your common questions have been answered here:
Can I call the bank to know about exact joining dates?
Many banks are strictly advising candidates not to contact them about the allotment.
They also say that, only after posting location is finalized, they shall call for joining and all required information would be published on their websites.
So we too request candidates not to keep calling or visiting them regularly as you wont get any proper response.
Should I join on the same day of document verification?
Some banks may to join on the date of verification, while some would fix the reporting date few days later.It will be informed on that particular day.
Allotted as clerk? Then see why your clerk appointment is not confirmed
Will they allow me to join on some other day?
We cannot answer this question because the bank officials have to decide on it.
So once the joining information is released, try contacting the person in-charge of recruitment & request permission.
What to do incase they don’t announce the joining within the dates you mentioned?
As said earlier, the bank joining dates given above are based on previous year recruitment and are accurate to the best of our knowledge.
It is not compulsory for banks to conduct the joining formalities in the same month every year.If its getting late, there is no option apart from waiting.
We will be keeping a close watch, anyways to report the events.So don’t worry even if banks take time.
