Hello Aspirant,

Generally, having vitiligo does not prevent you from working in a bank like SBI as a PO or Clerk, or in other banks.

Bank eligibility primarily focuses on:

• Educational qualification

• Age limit

• Nationality

• General good health

Vitiligo is a skin condition that affects pigmentation and is not typically a disqualifying medical condition for banking roles. Unlike certain armed forces positions that have very strict physical appearance or performance standards, banking jobs usually do not have such specific requirements regarding skin conditions.

Your ability to perform the job duties, your skills, and your qualifications are the main factors considered. While you will undergo a medical examination, vitiligo itself is generally not a barrier. Always refer to the specific job notification's medical fitness guidelines for the role you're applying for.

Yes, Aqsa, it's generally possible to get direct admission into a Pharm-D program, particularly after completing your 10+2 or PUC examination. While some colleges might require entrance exam scores, many consider merit scores for admission.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Merit-based Admission:

Many Pharm-D colleges in India consider your marks in the 10+2 or PUC examination for direct admission.

Entrance Exams:

Some colleges may also accept scores from specific entrance exams, such as the MHT CET.

If your parents’ income exceeds the OBC NCL limit this year, you should apply under the General category for IBPS PO and SBI PO recruitment. Previous years' applications under OBC NCL do not affect the current year's eligibility if income criteria change.

Hello Saurav,

I can understand your concern. Entering your university name instead of college name is a minor oversight that happens during application fill-up. In SBI Clerk and SBI PO forms, this kind of discrepancy between the application form and certificate provided during document verification can lead to complications.

Recommended Actions:

• During DV, give a proper explanation that your college is affiliated with this university, and so you provided the university name.
• Collect documents that will prove the linkage between your college and university.
• Reach out to SBI Recruitment Authorities helpdesk and inform them about this situation.
• Please do a double-check next time while filling out any application form to prevent this kind of situation.

Hello aspirant,

To apply for the SBI PO exam, candidates must hold a graduate degree from an accredited institution in any field. Applicants for the SBI PO exam 2025 may potentially be in their final year of education.
According to government regulations, candidates must be between the ages of 21 and 30 to be eligible for the SBI-PO test. Age relaxation is only granted to Reserved categories.

Thank you

Hope it helps you

A Master's degree is not mandatory to become an SBI PO or get promoted to a bank manager role. However, it can enhance your profile and potentially give you an edge in the competitive selection process.

An MBA can be a good choice as it equips you with valuable skills in finance, management, marketing, and communication - all of which are crucial for a banking career

Consider specializing in Finance, Banking, or Risk Management within your MBA program. These specializations will directly align with the SBI PO role and career progression in banking.

A Master's in Commerce with a specialization in Banking and Finance can provide a strong foundation in banking principles and practices. While not as directly focused on banking, a Master's in Economics can equip you with analytical skills and an understanding of economic trends, which are valuable assets in the financial sector.

Several banking-related certifications like Certified Financial Analyst (CFA) or Certified Risk Management (PRM) can enhance your profile without the time commitment of a Master's program. Focused coaching programs or online resources can equip you with the specific knowledge and skills required to crack the SBI PO exam.

Ultimately, the decision of pursuing a Master's degree depends on your individual circumstances, goals, and resources. While an MBA or other relevant Master's can be beneficial, it's not essential for success in the SBI PO exam or career advancement in banking.
