How to fill preferences in IBPS PO-2016, Best choice of Banks Area Wise, IBPS PO-6

As we know IBPS has released notification for IBPS PO 2016 students, who are going to apply start asking for Best preference for them. So this post is all relates to Best Preference for IBPS Po 2016.

Best Preference for IBPS PO: The headquarters can be one of the criteria for choosing a bank; this is because whatever bank you chose, you will find a number of branches in the state where the headquarter are located. Now if we take the example of Bank of Baroda, it has many branches in Gujrat and the probability of getting the posting in Gujarat increases. So you can choose accordingly.
Following is the list of the banks with their headquarters. You can take it as a regional preference that can be near your place. As an example, suppose you reside in UP, and you get the posting in Gujrat, then it's okay, and if you by mistake chose a bank that has a reach in Southern India, then it can be harder for you to accommodate and same is the case for vice-versa. So it's better to review what you have in mind.


Based on the area of your choice-
If you want to get posted exclusively in metro cities, you should go only for banks such as ECGC, Bhartiya Mahila Bank, IDBI, etc. And if you are comfortable with any other postings Tier II, III cities you can choose other options. As there are limited number of vacancies in such banks, then you have to be in top shots to get the jobs in such banks.
