What will you actually do? The Vice President leads the cybersecurity team that uses AI and machine learning in security operations, incident response, threat detection and threat hunting, to protect the Bank from AI-enabled cyber threats. The Assistant Vice President and the Associate Manager do the same work without the team-lead role. The Bank calls this job description illustrative, so other duties can be added later.
How Many Vacancies Are There in Indian Bank AI Cybersecurity Recruitment 2026?
The reservation is different for each post, so check your own row. The Assistant Vice President post has no Unreserved seat: its two vacancies are for SC and OBC only. No vacancy is set aside for ST, EWS or PwBD in any post.
| Post | Category-wise Vacancies | Total |

| Vice President – AI Cybersecurity (Post Code 01) | UR 1 | 1 |
| Assistant Vice President – AI Cybersecurity (Post Code 02) | UR 0 / SC 1 / OBC 1 | 2 |

You can apply for more than one post if you meet the rules for each. You must send a separate application and pay a separate fee for every post.

Educational Qualification
All three posts need the same degree: B.E. / B.Tech. or M.E. / M.Tech. in Computer Science Engineering, Information Technology or Electronics & Communication Engineering, from a recognised university or institution.
