Banking services in our country are expanding and both public and private sector banks are strengthening their network. However data shows that private banks have more of their branches in metros and other big cities whereas public sector bank(PSB) branches are present in every nook and corner of the country. The recruitment process in both kinds of banks also differs. Big private banks
recruit through campus selection and manpower agencies with some reliance on contractual staff. The practices differ from one private bank to other.
