IOB Recruitment 2026-27 — Apply Online for 291 Generalist & Specialist Officer Posts
Indian Overseas Bank (IOB) · Post Date:
Applications open — last date 15/09/2026
Short Information
This is a lateral-entry drive, not an entry-level one — every one of the 291 posts, from Branch Manager to IT, Information Security, Credit and Risk specialists in Scale II and III, asks for candidates already working as an officer in a scheduled public or private sector bank, so a first-time job seeker without banking experience will not clear eligibility. The biggest chunk, 100 posts, is for Branch Management (Scale II) and needs 3 years as a bank officer including 2 years in branch banking. Fee is ₹1,000 for general/OBC/EWS candidates and ₹175 for SC/ST/PwBD, and selection is by online exam followed by an interview.
