Growth of a Probationary Officer
The future of an IBPS PO is very bright considering the various growth opportunities that come along his way. The students who join the bank as Scale 1 officer can get promotions through two modes, fast track promotion or departmental promotions:
Fast Track Promotions
A probationary officer can opt for CAIIB which is a kind of internal examination conducted by the bank authority to check the efficacy of the candidate. The candidate appearing for the exam will get an increment of Rs 655 in his basic pay. Apart from this by qualifying this examination earlier, he can also be entitled to the promotions as the marks of this exam are considered while preparing the merit list.
Departmental Promotions
If any scale 1 officer does not sit for any CAIIB examination, then he will be promoted to the next scale after completing 10 years of service in the bank.
