Syndicate Bank Probationary Clerk Recruitment Exam Guidelines

Syndicate Bank PO Recruitment

We are glad that you have applied in response to our advertisement for the recruitment of Probationary Clerk posts in our bank.

1. This booklet contains details pertaining to various aspects of the examination you are going to take and important instructions about the related matters. The assessment of answersheets will be done by a computerised machine, hence you should carefully read instructions regarding handling of the answersheet and the method of marking answers. You are advised to study this booklet carefully as it will help you in preparing for the examination.
2. Before appearing for the written examination you should strictly ensure yourself that you fulfil the eligibility criteria stipulated by the bank in all respects.

14. Travelling Allowance not admissible : No travelling allowance or other expenses in connection with the examination will be paid.

III. METHOD OF SHOWING ANSWERS

How to show your answer : Each question is followed by answers which are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Select the most appropriate answer. Then by using HB Pencil blacken the oval bearing the correct answer number against the serial number of the question. For example, if the answer to Question Number 2 is answer number 5, it is shown as follows :

2.   CD CD CD  <4D •

DO NOT USE BALL PEN OR INK PEN TO MARK ANSWERS. USE ONLY HB PENCILS.

Please also note that you should not use an H, 2H/HH, 3H type of pencils. The marks made by such hard pencil will be too light and will not be read by the computerised machine. So such hard pencils are NOT TO BE USED. If you

use too soft pencils like 2B/BB, 3B etc., your marks will be too dark. So when you want to change your answer by erasing the first one, there may be smudges or dark marks in place of the erased answer and around. So soft Pencils are NOT TO BE USED. THEREFORE, USE ONLY HB PENCILS.

SOME WRONG METHODS OF MARKING ANSWERS :

Please DO NOT mark your answers or fill up information by using different methods of marking as illustrated below :

(Use of Line Mark)                             ©©©* © ©

(Half filled oval)                                  ©«>©©©

(Marks outside the oval)                   ©© © ©• ©

In all the above cases, though you may have shown your answer, it may not be read by the machine because of wrong method of showing the answer.

VERY IMPORTANT

Answers shown only by blackening an oval by HB pencil will be accepted.

Please note that the oval should be dark enough and should be filled in as completely as possible. You need not make special efforts to darken any oval artistically.

How to change your Answer : If you wish to change your answer ERASE completely the already darkened oval by using good quality eraser and then blacken the new oval bearing your revised answer number.

While changing the answer, erasing the earlier answer completely is extremely essential. If it is not erased completely, smudges will be left on the erased oval as shown below and the question will be read as having two answers and will be ignored for giving any credit.

©©<»•©

(Smudge left in oval No. 3 due to bad eraser and the fresh answer in oval No. 4 will be read as two answers 3 & 4 and therefore no credit will be given even if the answer No. 4 happens to be the correct answer.)

In case of any dispute on account of interpretation in any version other than English, the English version shall prevail.

IV. HOW TO FILL IN YOUR BIODATA INFORMATION ON THE ANSWERSHEET : Important

(1)      The information is to be filled in by you in boxes 1-11 and 13-28 on Side 1 and in box 29 on Side 2 of the answersheet.

(2)      You have to fill in information in boxes 1-11 by using ball point pen.

(3)      Information in boxes 13-28 on side 1 and 29 on side 2 is to filled up by using HB pencil only.

How to fill in the information is explained with the help of an example given below : (Filled in Side 1 of the Specimen Answersheet is also enclosed).

REMEMBER this is ONLY an example for your guidance. You have to fill up YOUR OWN information on your answersheet.

The tests of Reasoning, Numerical Ability and Computer Awareness will be printed in Hindi and English.

The composite time for all the above Tests is 1 hour 45 minutes i.e. 105 minutes. You may attempt the tests/questions in any order you like. However in your interest you are advised not to spend too much time on any one of the tests because to qualify in the written examination you have to pass each one of the tests, separately and also obtain sufficiently high marks in the merit order.

You are advised to apportion the time as suggested below :-
TEST                                       I             II        III        V

TIME(In Minutes)       30     30     20     25

Pass Marks : The candidate MUST pass in each of the Objective Tests. The passing marks in each Objective Test will be decided by the Bank. This cutoff will be applied on the scores obtained in each objective test after applying penalty for wrong answers.

Candidates who pass in each test and rank sufficiently high on the basis of the aggregate marks in the written examination as stated above only would be called for interview. The number of such candidates would depend upon the number of vacancies to be filled in.

THERE WILL BE PENALTY FOR WRONG ANSWER MARKED BY YOU IN THE OBJECTIVE TESTS. There are five alternatives in every question of a test. For each question for which a wrong answer has been given by you, one-fourth or 0.25 of the marks assigned to that question will be deducted as penalty. If for any question you give more than one answer, it will be treated as wrong even if one of the given answers happens to be right and there will be the same penalty as above for that question. If a question is left blank, i.e. no answer is given by you, there will be no penalty for that question. If the total of the penalty for a test is in fraction, the marks obtained will be rounded off to the nearest integer. YOU SHOULD THEREFORE BE

CAREFUL IN MARKING YOUR ANSWERS.

Written test for Prob. Clerk post will be held on 27.06.2010
