IBPS RRB Clerk study guide
IBPS RRB Clerk · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
IBPS RRB Clerk - more precisely the Common Recruitment Process (CRP) for Regional Rural Banks, Customer Service Associates / Office Assistant stream - is a recruitment channel run by the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS). IBPS describes itself as "an autonomous body, created to assist organisations in selection of personnel at various levels," and it runs selection "through proven systems and appropriately designed tools to objectively assess abilities and aptitude in tune with job requirements." In practice this means IBPS designs and administers the objective testing and coordinates the process on behalf of participating Regional Rural Banks, which are the actual employers; IBPS is not the recruiting bank and this page is independent study material, not an official IBPS resource. The IBPS RRB Clerk study guide has 4 sections and about 1,158 words.
