TJSB Bank 2025 TO Eligibility: Age Limit & Degree Rules
Check TJSB Sahakari Bank Trainee Officer eligibility for 2025—maximum age, relaxations, required graduation marks, and which degrees or backlogs disqualify you.
TJSB Sahakari Bank’s 2025 Trainee Officer notification underlines its cooperative‑bank ethos by imposing a crisp age benchmark yet allowing graded relaxations that reflect inclusivity mandates. Applicants must be born on or after 02 April 1997 and on or before 01 April 2003, translating to an upper cap of 28 years and a lower cap of 22 years as on 1 April 2025. OBC (Non‑Creamy Layer) candidates enjoy a three‑year waiver, SC/ST a five‑year waiver, and Persons with Benchmark Disability a ten‑year waiver, but the bank explicitly bars cumulative stacking beyond ten years. Nationality clauses follow RBI cooperative‑bank guidelines—Indian citizens and subjects of Nepal/Bhutan suffice, while persons of Indian origin from select countries need a Government of India eligibility certificate at the interview stage. TJSB’s HR manual further stipulates that candidates currently employed in urban cooperative banks must furnish a “No Objection Certificate” at online‑exam time to avert conflict‑of‑interest disputes. The recruitment board has clarified via FAQ that any change in category after registration—say, from General to OBC—will void the application, so aspirants must vet their documentation (valid caste certificate dated post‑31 March 2022 for OBCs) before hitting submit. With biometric authentication mandatory, mismatches between registration‑form signature and admit‑card scribble can trigger instant disqualification, so steady handwriting practice isn’t mere pedantry.
The educational bar remains straightforward yet unforgiving: a full‑time bachelor’s degree in any discipline with minimum 60 % aggregate from a UGC‑recognized university, completed on or before 30 June 2025. Distance‑learning or part‑time degrees, even NAAC‑A accredited, are specifically excluded to preserve “classroom‑bred collaborative skill sets” deemed vital for branch rotations. The 60 % threshold is computed on the cumulative percentage of all semesters; CGPA transcripts must carry an official conversion formula. Applicants still awaiting final‑semester results are conditionally eligible but must upload a provisional pass certificate by 31 July 2025 or face candidature cancellation. TJSB adds two niche carve‑outs for 2025: Chartered Accountancy Inter‑qualified candidates with 55 % in graduation may apply if they surrender ICAI articleship proof, and engineers with 50 % graduation plus a post‑graduate diploma in cooperative banking are exempted from the 60 % rule, acknowledging sector‑specific skill alignment. No active backlogs are tolerated—HR will cross‑verify with the National Academic Depository, so quietly clearing papers after registration won’t save an application.
