Hundreds of job aspirants belonging to Other Backward Communities (OBCs) are unable to apply for State Bank of India’s (SBI’s) vacant junior associate posts due to an alleged technical glitch.
The public sector bank had set 28 as age limit for applicants and three years age relaxation is given for OBC candidates.
But SBI’s online portal is not accepting the applications of 31-year-old OBC candidates, complained applicants.
Amid growing unemployment, the job notification by SBI came as a relief for graduates across the country.
As many as 11,096 junior associate (customer support and sales) vacant posts were to be filled through a selection procedure involving two phases – preliminary and main test.
Shortlisted candidates will be receiving a basic pay of ₹13,000 and total starting emoluments of an employee will be around ₹25,000 including Dearness Allowance (DA) and other allowances.
According to the official notification, only those in the age group of 20–28 as on April 1, 2019, are eligible to apply for these posts. It means that the candidates should have been born not earlier than April 2, 1991, and not later than April 1, 1999 (both days inclusive). Under existing central government norms, age relaxation of three years is given for OBC candidates.
Of the total seats, nearly 1,970 are earmarked for OBC candidates belonging to non-creamy layer.
However, not all eligible OBC candidates are able to apply for the job. Thanks to the technical glitch in the online application portal (https://ibpsonline.ibps.in/sbijascapr19/).
After entering the basic info and uploading photos along with signatures, the portal guides applicants to a page in which they are supposed to enter the state in which they are aspiring to work, caste and community details and date of birth.
P Kamlesh, one among the thousands of aspirants belonging to OBC, said, “Those with date of birth between April 2, 1987, and April 1, 1988, are not allowed to apply under OBC quota in the portal. It means that only two years of relaxation is given for OBC candidates". Despite repeated calls and mails, there was no response from the official spokesperson or SBI's Central Recruitment and Promotion Department.
May 3 is the last date to complete the application process.
