Govt reforms bank recruitment to curb attrition, boost transparency.

• DFS has overhauled the recruitment and result-declaration cycle for SBI, nationalized banks, and RRBs.
• The move aims to reduce attrition caused by candidates repeatedly shifting between banks due to the previous result declaration sequence.
• A new standardized sequence will see SBI results declared first, followed by nationalized banks, and then RRBs.
• Officer-level results will be released before clerical-level results within each bank category.
• IBPS will provide login-based access to candidates’ response sheets and answer keys from the 2026–27 Common Recruitment Process for transparency.

Why It Matters: This impacts bank job seekers by stabilizing recruitment and reducing attrition.
