performance in Online Written Test. Interaction will carry 25 marks. The qualifying marks in Interaction will be as decided by the Bank.
Weightage Pattern: Written Test 70%, Interview 30%. Final Merit list would be prepared based on normalization of marks scored in
Online Written Test and Interaction with 70:30 weightage respectively.
