Bank of Baroda SO Recruitment 2026: 1,100 Officer Jobs in Wealth Management and Corporate Credit
Bank of Baroda has released a fresh advertisement to recruit officers on a regular basis. The advertisement covers two very different banking jobs, each with its own eligibility bar. One is a junior-grade wealth management post needing two years of sales experience; the other a middle-management credit role for CAs with a year in banking. Both are regular officer-cadre posts on a full bank pay scale, not contract positions.
The application window runs from 4 September 2026 to 24 September 2026 — a short three-week run. Read the eligibility for your own post before you pay the fee, because the certification rule for one post and the CA rule for the other are hard bars, not preferences. This guide on GovtJobsAlert covers vacancies, eligibility, pay, fee and the full selection route.

How Many Vacancies Are There in BOB SO Recruitment 2026?
The reservation split is not the same for both posts, so read the row for the post you are actually applying to.
| Post | Category-wise Split | Seats |
|---|---|---|
| Wealth Executive (JMG/S-I) | UR 405, SC 150, ST 75, OBC 270, EWS 100 | 1,000 |
| Credit Analyst – C&IC (MMG/S-II) | UR 40, SC 15, ST 8, OBC 27, EWS 10 | 100 |
Reservation for Persons with Benchmark Disabilities is horizontal — these seats sit inside the numbers above and are not extra.
| Post | PwBD Break-up (Horizontal) | Seats |
|---|---|---|
| Wealth Executive | LD 10, HI 10, VI 10, d&e 10 | 40 |
| Credit Analyst – C&IC | LD 1, HI 1, VI 1, d&e 1 | 4 |

What is the Eligibility Criteria for BOB Wealth Executive and Credit Analyst 2026?
| Post | Mandatory Requirement |
|---|---|
| Wealth Executive | Graduation in any discipline and one valid certification — IC 38 (Insurance Institute of India), NISM Series V-A, NISM Series XXI-A (PMS Distributors) or NISM Series V-D; the certifications must be kept valid for as long as you are employed |
| Credit Analyst – C&IC | Graduation in any discipline and Chartered Accountant |
| Post | Experience Required |
|---|---|
| Wealth Executive | Minimum 2 years in sales of wealth products with a public sector, private, foreign bank, broking or securities firm, AMC or wealth management company in India |
| Credit Analyst – C&IC | Minimum 1 year of banking experience in a Scheduled Commercial Bank; experience in corporate credit is preferred |
The certification for Wealth Executive is mandatory, not preferred. If you are a graduate looking for a banking career but hold none of those four certificates on 1 September 2026, the post is not open to you. A post-graduate management degree or an MBA is listed only as preferred and does not replace the certificate. For Credit Analyst the CA is the gate, and commerce and finance candidates without it cannot apply on banking experience alone.
Two experience rules quietly disqualify people. Post-qualification experience of less than six months as on 1 September 2026 shall not be counted, unless it is part of your current employment. Experience in the clerical cadre will not be counted at all — many bank clerks assume their counter years qualify them here, and they do not.
What is the Age Limit and Relaxation for Bank of Baroda SO 2026?
| Post | Minimum Age | Maximum Age |
|---|---|---|
| Wealth Executive | 22 years | 32 years |
| Credit Analyst – C&IC | 21 years | 33 years |
Age is reckoned as on 1 September 2026, and the maximum shown is for General category candidates.

| PwBD — OBC | 13 years |

| Ex-Servicemen / ECO / SSCO — General / EWS | 5 years — you need at least 5 years’ military service and release on completion of assignment, otherwise than by dismissal or discharge for misconduct, inefficiency, physical disability attributable to military service or invalidment; officers whose assignment is due to be completed within one year of the last date of application also qualify |
| Ex-Servicemen / ECO / SSCO — OBC | 8 years — same service and release conditions |

What is the Salary for BOB Wealth Executive and Credit Analyst 2026?

What is the Selection Process for BOB SO Recruitment 2026?
| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Application Scrutiny | May be applied — applications screened against eligibility |
| Online Test | Only if the Bank decides to conduct a written test for any or all positions |
| Exam centres | The tentative list covers all 28 states but only six union territories — Lakshadweep and Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu have no centre; the Bank may add, remove or modify centres, your allotted centre is named in the call letter, and you attend at your own risk and expense |
| Psychometric Test | Or any other test the Bank deems suitable |
| Two cut-offs, not one | If a written test is held you must clear a minimum in EACH section and a minimum total score before you can be shortlisted for the psychometric test or the interview |
| Cross-position consideration | The Bank may consider you for a position other than the one you applied for if you meet that position’s eligibility, and may add a descriptive test or case study to the exam |
| Group Discussion and/or Personal Interview | May be a single round or multiple rounds |
| Tie at the cut-off | Candidates sharing the cut-off mark are ranked by age in descending order — the older candidate ranks higher |
| Score disclosure | Online test scores are not shared with interview-shortlisted candidates before the selection process completes, and the PI score of a candidate who fails to qualify is never disclosed |
| Document Verification | Candidature stays provisional until all details and documents are verified against the originals |
| Medical Examination | Before joining, at the candidate’s own expense |
The online test is not confirmed. The notification calls the structure below tentative and applies it only “in case it is decided to conduct the written test”. If it is held, this is the shape.
| Section | Questions / Marks | Counts for Merit? |
|---|---|---|
| English Language | 20 / 20 | Qualifying only |
| Reasoning Ability & Quantitative Aptitude | 20 / 20 | Qualifying only |
| General / Economic & Banking Awareness | 20 / 20 | Qualifying only |
| Professional Knowledge for the Position | 60 / 60 | Yes — merit is drawn from this |
| All four sections — separately timed at 20, 20, 20 and 60 minutes | 120 / 120 in 120 min | Only Section 4 counts |
Read that third column again — it changes how you prepare. Sections 1 to 3 are qualifying in nature and their marks will not be reckoned for the merit list; only Professional Knowledge counts. Every section except English is bilingual. 0.25 of the marks assigned to that question is deducted for each wrong answer, with nothing deducted for a blank. Minimum qualifying marks are fixed by the Bank at its sole discretion, and it may waive them. Our exam syllabus pages help you plan that professional-knowledge preparation.
The interview bar is 60% for General and EWS candidates and 55% for other reserved categories, which the Bank may change at its discretion. Candidates who do not clear the interview will not be considered for final selection, and the Bank has reserved the right to cancel, modify or add any part of this method.
What Mistakes Can Cancel Your BOB SO Application in 2026?
These are the lines candidates skip. Each can end your candidature; exam-hall rules apply only if the online test is held.
| Condition | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Multiple applications | Only the latest valid application is retained; the fee paid for the other registrations stands forfeited |
| Change of category | Not permitted at any stage after registration, and your result is processed on the category you first entered |
| OBC creamy layer | Candidates in the creamy layer, or whose caste is not in the Central List, are not entitled to OBC reservation or age relaxation |
| OBC certificate validity | The certificate must carry the non-creamy-layer clause, be issued within one year of the advertisement date and be valid on the interview date, and the caste name on it must tally letter by letter with the Central Government list |
| Nationality | You must be an Indian citizen, or a subject of Nepal or Bhutan, a Tibetan refugee who came to India before 1 January 1962, or a person of Indian origin who migrated from the listed countries — the last four need a Government of India eligibility certificate |
| Temporary disability | A disability certificate marked “likely to improve” is not eligible for PwBD reservation |
| Benchmark disability | Only a disability of not less than 40%, certified by the notified medical authority and valid on 1 September 2026, qualifies for PwBD reservation; without a valid certificate the candidature is liable for cancellation |
| EWS proof | EWS reservation needs an Income and Asset Certificate in the prescribed format from a Competent Authority — family gross income below Rs 8 lakh for the financial year, and no 5-acre farm, 1,000 sq ft flat, 100 sq yd plot in a notified municipality or 200 sq yd plot elsewhere |
| NOC for serving staff | Government, PSU and nationalised bank employees must produce a No Objection Certificate at the interview, in the absence of which the candidature will not be considered and no travelling expenses are paid |
| Relieving letter at joining | If selected from a Government, PSU or nationalised bank job you must also produce a relieving letter from that employer at the time of joining, plus clearance from the relevant authorities |
| Unrecognised institution | Your degree must be from a University, Institute or Board recognised by the Government of India or approved by a Government regulatory body, and you must produce that recognition document |
| Documents at interview | Originals must be produced, failing which you may not be permitted to appear, and non-submission will debar you from further participation |
| Ex-Servicemen papers | An Ex-Servicemen candidate must also produce a copy of the Service or Discharge Book, the pension payment order and documentary proof of the rank last or presently held, substantive as well as acting |
| Photo ID at the exam and the interview | Carry the call letter with a listed photo ID — PAN, passport, driving licence, voter card, Aadhaar, bank passbook with photo or employee ID; a ration card is not accepted for this project, and a changed name needs the original gazette notification, marriage certificate or affidavit |
| False information | Incorrect or suppressed facts detected at any stage cancel the candidature, and services are liable to be terminated without notice even after appointment |
| Name spelling | Your name must be spelt in the application exactly as it appears on your certificates and mark sheets; any change or alteration found may disqualify the candidature |
| Detected later | If a process violation goes undetected now but is found later, the disqualification takes place with retrospective effect |
| Similar answer patterns | The test agency compares response patterns across candidates; if it concludes answers were shared and scores are not genuine, the Bank may cancel the candidature and withhold the result |
| Unfair means | Impersonation or unfair means leads to disqualification from this exam and from future examinations conducted by the Bank, permanently or for a specified period |
| Mobile phone or calculator | Phones, pagers and other communication devices are barred from the exam premises and calculators may not even be carried; any infringement cancels the candidature and can bring a ban from future Bank examinations |
| Incomplete application | An application incomplete in any respect, or whose fee payment did not go through, is deemed invalid and will not be considered for further evaluation |
| Hand-written declaration | It must be in your own handwriting, in English, and not in capital letters; one written by anyone else, or in another language, makes the whole application invalid |
| Signature style | A signature in capital letters shall not be accepted on the application |
| Signature mismatch | If the signature on your answer script does not match the one on the call letter you are disqualified — sign identically on the application, call letter, attendance sheet and every later correspondence |
| Multiple interview appearances | Appearing more than once for a single post at interview will be summarily rejected and the candidature cancelled |
| Unruly behaviour | Misbehaviour in the examination hall or at the interview centre can cancel your candidature and disqualify you from future Bank examinations |
| Change of centre or date | Any request to change the centre, venue, date or time of the examination, GD or interview shall not be entertained |
| Compensatory time | PwBD candidates who did not register for compensatory time in the application shall not be allowed that concession later |
| What compensatory time is | 20 minutes for every hour of the examination, for candidates using a scribe, for locomotor disability or cerebral palsy affecting the writing limb by at least 40%, and for visually impaired candidates, who may instead view the paper in magnified font — but not if they use a scribe |
| Scribe rules | A scribe is arranged and paid for by the candidate, must not himself be a candidate in this examination, and must be declared in the application form; violation cancels both candidatures |
| Meeting the minimum | Meeting the minimum eligibility conditions does not automatically entitle you to a call for interview; shortlisting criteria are internal and are not shared |
| Adverse character report | Applicants with adverse reports on character, antecedents or moral turpitude will not be considered |
| Pending cases must be declared | At the interview you must disclose any pending criminal case and any disciplinary proceeding started or contemplated against you by a current or former employer; the Bank verifies police and employment records independently and can cancel the candidature or terminate service if it finds otherwise |
| Bank may call it off | The Bank may reject any candidature at any stage, increase or decrease the vacancies, or cancel the whole recruitment or any single post at any stage without assigning a reason |
| Canvassing | Anyone found canvassing or exerting influence shall be disqualified from the selection process |
| Jurisdiction | Any dispute arising from this advertisement can be filed only before the courts, tribunals and forums at Mumbai |
| Posting | You are liable to be posted anywhere in India; only candidates willing to serve anywhere should apply |
| Biometric and Aadhaar | Thumb or IRIS scan and photograph are captured before the online test, at the interview and at joining; refusing may cancel your candidature, and you are advised to hold a valid Aadhaar for online verification |

If you hold the certification or the CA and you are inside the age band on 1 September 2026, this is worth your three weeks. An officer post in one of India’s largest banks does not come round often, and any professional-knowledge paper would favour people already working in wealth or credit. Scan your documents this week, apply well before 24 September 2026, and keep following GovtJobsAlert for more banking recruitment updates.
