Banks' recruitment policy
It is quite common to see that banks are contributing to the economy both by accelerating the wheel of economic growth and taking a huge number of talented people as employees who are best of the best in terms of academic qualification. As banks go through rigorous selection test to recruit their employees and offer lucrative salaries, in most cases, banks ask for people who possess extra ordinary academic results and other track record as is shown in the recruitment circular of various banks. In selecting qualified candidates, no doubt, banks are following the right recruitment procedures. However, as a student, what makes me dumbfounded, by observing some recent circulars, is confusing and discriminatory as a means of selecting candidates for written test. In recruitment notice, banks mention that candidates having 4(out of 5) both in SSC and HSC exams need not apply, creating discrimination between students who appeared in SSC exams in 2001 and 2002the years when elective subject was not added (and still not added) to the total GPA and the student, who got results after adding elective subject to the final pointappeared in the exams afterwards. Even, the candidates who sat for SSC exams in 2001 experienced same discrimination in their HSC exams held in 2003.
As a matter of fact, banks along with some other companies are showing unwillingness to bridge the gap created by the education ministry. And the innocent, but brilliant candidates, especially the ones who passed SSC and HSC in 2001 and 2003 respectively, are the ultimate sufferers.
The education ministry should take the matter into consideration and get it right.
