Nainital Bank PO Pattern: 

Candidates were required to fill the online application form between 17.07.2021 and 31.07.2021 to appear for the Online Written Test.  The bank would provide a Call Letter to the candidates to appear for the test that they must carry to the examination center. Candidates should also fix a recent passport-size photo on the call letter. 

Once the candidates are successful in Online Written Test, the bank will call them for a personal interview. Candidates will be selected based on the result of the Online Written Test and Personal Interview. The selected candidates will be intimated about their recruitment by way of issuing the appointment letters. However, they will be required to be medically fit for the assignment. 

Candidates need to note that Management Trainees(PO), after the satisfaction of their absorption as Officers’ Grade/Scale I, will be required to execute an Indemnity Bond for a period of one year for an amount of 2.00 lacs. 

This is the pattern of how the Nainital Bank Limited will execute the selection process. 

Now let’s focus on the exam pattern of Online Written Test: 

Sr. No	Name of the Subject	No. of Questions for the subject	Maximum Marks allocated	Time Allocation
1.	Reasoning	40	40	35 Minutes
2.	English	40	40	35 Minutes

4.	Quantitative Aptitude	40	40	35 Minutes
5.	Computer Knowledge	40	40	20 Minutes

For every wrong answer, the candidates will be penalized by negative marking at 0.25 marks. The multiple-choice questions will have five options for each question. 

Candidates should not furnish any false information, fabricated or tampered information. There should be no suppression of facts by the candidates. 

Verification of the eligibility criteria such as Educational Qualification, Experience, Age, and such other details will be carried to assure authenticity through verification of the respective certificates or documents only at the time of interview conducted based on the performance in the Online Written Test.

Resorting to unfair means by candidates can lead to:
