About Institute of Banking Personnel Selection

Institute of Banking Personnel Selection Logo

The journey of IBPS is closely associated with the major event of nationalisation of 14 major banks in 1969, and thereafter, the establishment of National Institute of Bank Management (NIBM) as an apex level research and training institute for all Public Sector Banks.

Post-nationalisation, banks were required to rapidly expand their branch network to afford a larger cross-section of people the opportunity to avail “Banking Services”. In order to expand their network, banks needed to recruit. “Selecting Right People for the Right Jobs” was a critical and crucial activity for them. Banks began advertising their vacancies and were flooded with applications, the volume of which far exceeded their capacity.
