Category-Wise Vacancy Distribution
Out of the 65 total vacancies, 8 are reserved for the OBC category, and 57 are unreserved (UR). No vacancies are reserved for SC, ST, or EWS candidates. The OBC reservation is concentrated across three posts: 1 vacancy each in the AVP II-Senior Product Sales Manager and AVP I-Product Sales Manager positions, and 6 vacancies in the AVP II-Relationship Manager role. Bank of Baroda has clarified that the vacancy numbers, including reserved ones, are provisional and may change based on actual organisational requirements.
Eligibility Criteria
Eligibility is assessed as of 01/06/2026 (the cut-off date) and depends on a candidate’s age, educational qualification, and post-qualification work experience in banks, financial institutions, or NBFCs. Age limits increase with seniority, ranging from 28-38 years for AVP I posts to 36-52 years for Vice President roles.
Age Limit
| Category | Age Relaxation (Years) |
|---|---|
| SC/ST | 5 |
| OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) | 3 |
| PWD (General/EWS) | 10 |
| PWD (OBC) | 13 |
| PWD (SC/ST) | 15 |
| Ex-servicemen (General/EWS) | 5 |
| Ex-servicemen (OBC) | 8 |
| Ex-servicemen (SC/ST) | 10 |
Age relaxation applies only to posts where reservation roster points exist. Since OBC is the only reserved category in this recruitment (in specific AVP II and AVP I posts), the 3-year OBC relaxation is most likely to apply in practice. There is no reservation for Ex-servicemen in the Officers’ Cadre for this recruitment.

Additional Eligibility Conditions
Educational qualifications must be from an institution recognised by the Government of India, a government body, or 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 not be counted. Only one application is allowed per candidate; if multiple applications are submitted, only the latest valid one will be retained and any fee paid for other registrations will be forfeited.
Candidates must be willing to serve anywhere in India, since posting will depend entirely on the bank’s requirement at any of its offices or branches across the country.

A critical eligibility requirement for this recruitment is credit history: candidates must have a CIBIL score of 680 or above at the time of joining. 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. This check can be applied at any stage, including after joining.

About the Professionals’ Roles
Bank of Baroda’s Corporate and Institutional Credit Division is the core profit driver for the organisation, and these contractual professional roles are designed to expand and deepen its relationship and product portfolio in high-value client segments. Vice President and Deputy Vice President-level Relationship Heads and Senior Relationship Managers centre on growing and managing the bank’s existing relationships in specialised segments-real estate, multinational corporations, credit-lite clients, or conglomerates-while sourcing new-to-bank corporate clients and cross-selling fee-based products such as forex and cash management services. Transaction Banking roles (Head-Product Sales, Senior Product Sales Manager, and Product Sales Manager) focus on selling trade, forex, and cash management solutions, managing transaction banking client relationships, and driving fee income and CASA balances.
At the AVP level, roles in Conglomerate/Real Estate and Credit Lite concentrate on credit appraisal, risk evaluation, and timely account monitoring to ensure portfolio health. The DVP-Head Market Intelligence Unit role is centred on gathering and summarising market and industry intelligence to provide competitive insights to management for strategic decision-making. Across all positions, the bank reserves the right to modify or add to these responsibilities at any time, and candidates are expected to maintain the highest standards of integrity and compliance with central banking regulations.
Contract Terms and Remuneration
These are fixed-term contractual roles, and tenure depends on 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 for one additional period of up to 5 years, subject to satisfactory performance. For VP and DVP, the initial contract is for 3 years and can be extended in increments of 1 year each, provided total engagement does not exceed 5 years. In all cases, 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. The place of posting will depend on the bank’s requirement at any of its offices or branches in India.
Application Fee
Bank of Baroda has set a two-tier, non-refundable application fee for this recruitment.
| Category | Fee (₹) |
|---|---|
| General / EWS / OBC | 850 (incl. GST) |
| SC / ST / PWD / Ex-servicemen / DESM / Women | 175 (incl. GST) |
The fee is payable online using a Debit Card, Credit Card, Internet Banking, or UPI through the integrated payment gateway, plus applicable payment gateway charges. The fee is payable irrespective of whether an online test is conducted and irrespective of whether the candidate is shortlisted for an interview. Once paid, the fee will not be refunded under any circumstances.
Selection Process
Selection proceeds through Application Scrutiny, followed by an Online Test, Psychometric Test, or any other assessment 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 for the Personal Interview, a candidate must score at least 60% for the Unreserved category and 55% for the 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. 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 a photograph; a Ration Card will not be accepted. Candidates who have legally changed their name must produce the original Gazette notification or affidavit reflecting the new name.
