State Bank of India has released its notification for recruitment of Junior Associates in clerk cadre. Candidates were eagerly waiting for SBI clerk recruitment in 2021, but the post name Junior Associate (Customer support & Sales) has made them think this as sales & marketing job.
First of all, the SBI clerk 2021 recruitment notification is for filling 5,000 vacancies of Junior Associates. So we are providing information on SBI clerk/ junior associate job profile, salary, job post location & various other aspects of this position to make it clear.
Is this a regular clerical job or something different? State Bank of India seem to have given the post a new name whereas most other public sector banks refer clerks as cashier or single window operator.
In 2014, SBI recruited for the post called ‘Assistants’ under clerical cadre.They are currently performing clerical duties only.So Junior assistants will also be like normal clerk employees only.
If you are looking for official information on SBI junior associate job profile, it is not available but their recruitment notification itself gives plenty of details. Since candidates are recruited in clerical cadre, they will be required to perform the regular clerical work such as:
State bank has specifically attached two roles to this post – Customer support & Sales. So these associates shall also be responsible for:
SBI in its advertisement has briefly outlined the duties of new recruits.On seeing this, some are labelling the job as sales & target oriented.But this specific point was mentioned in their 2014 clerk recruitment also.
So there is nothing to worry thinking about selling & door-to-door marketing.The present clerical employees in SBI are not doing it.
As per the SBI recruitment notice, the clerical cadre employee shall be paid Rs.29,000 per month at a metropolitan city like Mumbai.If posted in non-metro city or town, your gross salary shall be around Rs.25,000 /month.
Therefore the take home salary for SBI junior associates (posted in metro) should be in the range of Rs.23,000 – 25,000 /month (after deducting taxes & other benefits). Since allowances vary depending on the place of reposting, the exact salary may differ slightly.
Vacancies for Junior Assistants are being filled state-wise. Therefore, candidates may choose to apply for any one state only, provided they know to speak, read & write the official language of that region.
Transfer Policy: Many of you would be wondering about getting transfers if posted in a distant branch. Checkout the SBI clerk transfer conditions:
So if you get posting in a branch, away from your hometown – you need to work in that branch only. Earlier, there was an option of applying for newly recruited junior associates to apply for a transfer after 5 years of service but as per 2021 notification, that option is removed.

well worth the read. I found http://www.bankexamsindia.com very informative as I have been researching a lot lately on practical matters such as you talk about…
frends
i am working for ICICI bank.
what i suggest you to dont think about marketing or any profile.just enjoy the job you are doing.Dont just creep everytime.Marketing doesn't mean door to door selling .this profile is very challenging and for daring people only.those who love challenges in life they prefer marketing roles not like others who will only seat in the back office and maintain data.You will attain a lot of meetings,seminars with different clients.You will get to understand what is the thinking pattern of society.This will make you more mature.
It will add value to your resume after 2-3 years down the line.You will find yourself very powerful and dignified person in society after accepting this roles.
Finally frends i ll suggest you dont loose this opprtunity to be successful.Decision is yours.After all itz SBI.Client will come at your door step to give you business rather going from door to door

a marketing job in sbi is fine and always a nice move but the salary is a concern. marketing people always get more salary because there work involves traveling and many more thing which adds to their pressure. so had the salary been a little more it would have done but in rs 10000 ..................................
Hi to all
It was already mentioned in SBI clerk ad. It is also the need of an hour. Well lets see what the job profile includes....
