In cases where multiple candidates score the same marks at the cut-off point, their ranking will be determined by age, with older candidates being given preference. The bank will notify candidates regarding the interview schedule and other details once the shortlisting process is completed.

Candidates applying for the positions will need to pay an application fee of Rs 750 for General, EWS, and OBC categories.
