Bank of Baroda Recruitment 2026 - Position-Wise Vacancy Details

Bank of Baroda has notified 65 vacancies spread across 12 distinct positions, all within the Corporate and Institutional Credit Department. The largest share goes to the AVP II-Relationship Manager post, which alone accounts for 30 vacancies covering the Credit Lite, Conglomerate, MNC, Corporate Banking, and Real Estate segments. The AVP I-Credit Lite/MNC/Real Estate/Conglomerate post carries 7 vacancies, while the DVP-Senior Relationship Manager post has 12 vacancies. The three Vice President posts and the two Deputy Vice President head-of-unit posts each carry a single vacancy.

Category-Wise Reservation of Vacancies

Category-wise reservation has been notified for only one social category in this drive. Out of the 65 total vacancies, 8 are reserved for the OBC category and the remaining 57 are unreserved (UR); no vacancies are reserved for SC, ST, or EWS candidates. The OBC reservation is concentrated in three posts - 1 vacancy each in the AVP II-Senior Product Sales Manager and AVP I-Product Sales Manager posts, and 6 vacancies in the AVP II-Relationship Manager post. The bank has also clarified that the number of vacancies shown, including the reserved ones, is provisional and may change based on its actual requirement.

Eligibility Criteria: Age Limit and Qualification

Eligibility for every post is assessed as on 01 June 2026, the cut-off date fixed by the bank, and depends on a candidate's age, educational qualification, and post-qualification work experience in banks, financial institutions, or NBFCs. Age limits rise with seniority - from 28-38 years for the entry-level AVP I posts up to 36-52 years for the Vice President posts - and the maximum age shown applies to General category candidates.

Age relaxation is available to specific categories, though the bank has specified that it applies only to posts where reservation roster points exist. Since OBC is the only category with roster points in this recruitment (in the AVP II-SPSM, AVP II-Relationship Manager, and AVP I-PSM posts), the 3-year OBC relaxation is the one most likely to apply in practice. There is also no reservation for Ex-servicemen in the Officers' Cadre for this recruitment.

Every post requires at least a graduation in any discipline, mostly paired with a postgraduate management or finance qualification, a chartered accountancy, or an equivalent professional certification. Experience requirements range from a minimum of 5 years for the AVP I grade up to a minimum of 15 years for the Vice President posts, with a defined number of those years required specifically in the relevant function.

A few additional conditions apply across all posts. Educational qualifications must be from an institution recognised by the Government of India, a government body, or the AICTE. Experience gained in the clerical cadre is not counted towards eligibility, and any single stint of post-qualification work experience shorter than six months (as on the cut-off date) will also not be counted. Only one application is allowed per candidate; if multiple applications are submitted, only the latest valid one will be retained and the fee paid for any other registration will be forfeited. Bank of Baroda has also stated that only candidates willing to serve anywhere in India should apply, since posting will depend entirely on the bank's requirement at any of its offices or branches across the country.

On citizenship, a candidate must be an Indian citizen, or a subject of Nepal or Bhutan, or a Tibetan refugee who came to India before 1 January 1962 intending to settle permanently, or a person of Indian origin who migrated from Pakistan, Burma, Sri Lanka, or specified East African countries with the same intention - though candidates in these latter categories must hold a certificate of eligibility issued by the Government of India.

Note: Eligible candidates should have the required post-qualification experience (e.g., 5+ years for AVP I or 15+ years for VP roles) in banks/NBFCs/financial institutions, be willing to work anywhere in India, and maintain a clean credit history (CIBIL 680+ with no defaults). Candidates should not apply if they don’t meet the age/experience criteria as on 01 June 2026, have only clerical or very short (<6 months) relevant experience, or are not open to posting anywhere in India.

Key Roles and Responsibilities

A few common themes run across most of these positions. The Vice President and Deputy Vice President-level Relationship Head and Senior Relationship Manager roles centre on growing and managing the bank's existing corporate relationships in their specialised segment - real estate, MNCs, credit-lite clients, or conglomerates - sourcing new-to-bank corporate clients, cross-selling fee-based products such as forex and cash management services, and building account plans with opportunity-income analysis while keeping risk exposure within the bank's Exposure Risk Framework. The Transaction Banking roles (Head-Product Sales, Senior Product Sales Manager, and Product Sales Manager) focus on selling trade, forex, and cash management products, managing transaction banking client relationships, and driving fee income and CASA balances. The AVP-level Conglomerate/Real Estate and Credit Lite roles concentrate on credit appraisal, risk evaluation, and timely account monitoring, while the DVP-Head Market Intelligence Unit role is centred on gathering and summarising market and industry intelligence to provide competitive insights to management. Across all positions, the bank has reserved the right to modify or add to these responsibilities at any time.

Application Fee

Bank of Baroda has set a two-tier, non-refundable application fee for this recruitment. Unreserved (UR), EWS, and OBC candidates must pay Rs 850 (inclusive of GST), plus applicable payment gateway charges, while SC, ST, PWD, Ex-servicemen/DESM, and Women candidates pay Rs 175 (inclusive of GST), plus payment gateway charges. The fee can be paid online using a Debit Card, Credit Card, Internet Banking, or UPI. It is payable irrespective of whether an online test is eventually conducted and irrespective of whether the candidate is shortlisted for an interview, and once paid, it will not be refunded under any circumstances.

Contract Tenure, Remuneration and Credit Score Requirement

These are fixed-term contractual roles, and the tenure depends on the grade. For AVP I and AVP II, the initial contract runs for 5 years from the date of joining and can be renewed at the bank's discretion, subject to satisfactory performance, for one additional period of up to 5 years. For VP and DVP, the initial contract is for 3 years and can be extended in increments of 1 year each, provided the total engagement does not exceed 5 years. In every case, the engagement automatically ends at contract expiry unless renewed, and it cannot continue beyond the candidate reaching 60 years of age.

Remuneration is not fixed in the notification - the bank states it will be decided based on the selected candidate's qualifications, experience, overall suitability, last drawn salary, and the prevailing market benchmark for the position, and the place of posting will depend on the bank's requirement at any of its offices or branches in India.

A distinctive eligibility condition for this recruitment is credit history: candidates must have a CIBIL score of 680 or above at the time of joining, and the bank has explicitly stated that candidates who have defaulted on loan or credit card repayments, or against whom adverse reports exist with CIBIL or other credit-rating agencies, will be deemed ineligible for appointment - a check the bank can apply at any stage, including after joining.

Selection Process

Selection proceeds through Application Scrutiny, followed by an Online Test, Psychometric Test, or any other test the bank considers suitable, and then a Personal Interview along with compensation negotiation for those selected. The Psychometric Test and/or Interview assess a candidate's personality, communication, clarity, problem-solving ability, efficiency, and willingness to work anywhere in the country. To qualify in the Personal Interview, a candidate must score at least 60% for the Unreserved category and 55% for Reserved category candidates, though the bank reserves the right to revise this cut-off. If multiple candidates tie at the cut-off mark, they are ranked in descending order of age, meaning the older candidate ranks higher.

Call letters will be sent only to the email ID registered in the online application - no hard copies will be sent by post or courier - so candidates must keep that email account active and check it regularly. At the interview, candidates must carry a valid photo ID such as a PAN card, passport, driving licence, voter's card, or Aadhaar card with photograph; a Ration Card will not be accepted as identity proof for this recruitment, and candidates who have legally changed their name must produce the original Gazette notification or affidavit reflecting the new name.

How to Apply: Step-by-Step Guide

1. Visit the Bank of Baroda website www.bankofbaroda.bank.in (or directly www.bankofbaroda.bank.in/Career.htm) and go to the Career section's "Current Opportunities" page.
2. Register using a valid personal email ID and contact number that you can keep active throughout the recruitment process, since all call letters and updates will be sent there.
3. Fill in the online application form carefully - no field can be edited once you click Submit - and ensure your name is spelt exactly as it appears on your certificates and mark sheets.
4. Upload your bio-data, scanned photograph (200×230 pixels, 20-50 KB), and signature (140×60 pixels, 10-20 KB) in JPG/JPEG format, along with PDF copies of your eligibility documents.
5. Pay the applicable application fee online using a Debit Card, Credit Card, Internet Banking, or UPI through the integrated payment gateway.
6. After successful payment, download and print the system-generated e-receipt and application form for your records; if a transaction fails, register again and make the payment afresh rather than assuming the first attempt succeeded.
7. Complete the process well before 06 July 2026, since the bank has advised against waiting until the last date to avoid login failures caused by heavy website traffic.

Documents Required (Upload and Interview)

Two separate sets of documents matter here - what must be uploaded with the online application, and what must be physically produced at the interview.

Documents to upload (PDF format, A4 page size, file size not exceeding 500 KB each):

• Resume
• Date of Birth proof (10th mark sheet/certificate)
• Educational certificates (all relevant mark sheets and certificates scanned into a single PDF)
• Work experience certificates, if applicable
• Caste/Category certificate, if applicable
• PWD certificate, if applicable

Documents to carry to the interview (originals plus a self-attested photocopy):

• Printout of the valid interview call letter and the system-generated online application form
• Proof of date of birth (birth certificate or SSLC/Class X mark sheet showing DOB)
• Photo ID proof (PAN, passport, driving licence, voter's card, or Aadhaar with photograph - a Ration Card is not accepted)
• Semester/year-wise mark sheets and the final degree/diploma certificate
• Caste certificate in the prescribed Government of India format for SC/ST/OBC/EWS candidates (the OBC certificate must include the non-creamy-layer clause and be issued within one year of the date of advertisement)
• Disability certificate from the District Medical Board for PWD candidates, along with scribe details if a scribe was used
• Discharge book, pension payment order, and rank proof for Ex-servicemen candidates
• A No Objection Certificate from the current employer for candidates serving in Government, Quasi-Government, or Public Sector roles, including nationalised banks
• Certificate of eligibility from the Government of India for candidates from Nepal, Bhutan, the Tibetan-refugee category, or the specified person-of-Indian-origin categories
• Proof of work experience such as appointment letters, salary slips, relieving letters, and CTC break-up documents

Bank of Baroda has also appended ready-to-use certificate formats for SC/ST, OBC (Non-Creamy Layer), Persons with Disabilities (single and multiple disability), and EWS candidates as annexures to the notification; candidates applying under these categories should get their certificates issued in this prescribed format from the competent authority.

Troubleshooting and Common Mistakes to Avoid

Keep your scanned photograph between 20-50 KB and your signature between 10-20 KB, both in JPG/JPEG format - files outside this range, or in the wrong format, will trigger an error and block submission. Sign only in your normal handwriting and never in capital letters, since the bank has specified that signatures in capital letters will not be accepted, and any mismatch between your call-letter signature and your interview-day signature can lead to disqualification.

If an online payment fails or you are unsure whether it went through, do not assume it succeeded - register again and complete the payment, since the fee is non-refundable. Use an updated browser and a stable internet connection while filling the form, and avoid waiting until the last day or last few hours before 06 July 2026, since heavy website traffic close to the deadline is a common cause of failed submissions. Always download and save your acknowledgement number, e-receipt, and printed application form immediately after payment, as these are needed for future reference and at the interview. Finally, double-check every field - especially your name, category, and date of birth - before clicking Submit, since no corrections are allowed after the online application has been submitted.
