Now, lets see that what can be the possible criterion

for a aspirant to prefer a bank?

(I) Based on Headquarters of the banks
The headquarters can be one of the criteria for choosing a bank. This is because whatever bank you chose, you will find more number of branches in
the state where the headquarter is located. Now if we take the example of Bank of Baroda, it has more number of branches in Gujrat and the
probability of getting the posting in Gujrat increases. So you can chose accordingly.
So, we are providing here a list of banks and their headquarters. You can take it as a regional preference that can be near your place. As an example,
suppose you reside in UP and you get the posting in Gujrat, then its okay and if you by mistake chose a bank that has a reach in Southern India, then it
can be harder for you to accommodate and same is the case for vice-versa. So it's better to review once what you have in mind.
(II) Based on the area of your choice
This choice was available last year, but, this year no such bank having offices only in metro cities is participating in the recruitment process.
