The process of recruiting about 8,000 people in clerical cadre this fiscal was under way in State Bank of India (SBI), Chairman Rajnish Kumar said here on Friday.
A little over 8,000 candidates in the clerical cadre and 3,000 probationary officers are being recruited, he said during a media interaction at the SBI Hyderabad Circle LHO here. Eight thousand candidates have cleared written test, he said, adding the bank’s headcount, by end of this fiscal, was expected to remain around 2.60 lakh as several employees were also slated to retire.
To queries, he said SBI had initiated ATM modernisation “in a big way... replacing the old machines and installing a new software across all our ATMs” that was important from a cyber security perspective. The new software, he explained, would facilitate the bank to effect certain changes and configurations centrally as opposed to sending personnel to each machine and doing so.”
Earlier, participating in a CSR programme organised by the Hyderabad Circle, the SBI chairman handed over cheques for ₹50 lakh to GHMC under Swachh Bharat Mission, ₹14.98 lakh to District Hospital, King Koti, for construction of toilets; ₹20 lakh to Friends of Tribal Society. He also distributed cheques worth several crores of rupees to beneficiaries.
