Banking and Insurance sector jobs are the most sought out jobs in India now-a-days. Reasons are many but amongst them the major reasons are job security and good income. Both the sectors organise a number of tests to select the candidates. In the Banking sector the jobs are mostly notified by SBI, IBPS, NABARD, SEBI, RBI and SIDBI. In the Insurance sector, the jobs are mostly notified by New India Assurance Company, LIC, NIC, UIIC, Oriental Insurance Company etc.
In the Banking sector, for freshers the exams are conducted for the post of clerks and Probationary Officers, while in the Insurance sector the exams are conducted for the posts of Administrative Officers, Apprentice Development Officer and Assistants. All the candidates have to pass through a very tough phase for the preparation of these exams. Some even get misguided by some profit-centered institutes.
