PENALTY FOR WRONG ANSWERS 

There will be penalty for wrong answers marked in the PNB Specialist Officers (SO) Objective Tests. For each question for which a wrong answer has been given by the candidate one fourth or 0.25 of the marks assigned to that question will be deducted as penalty to arrive at corrected score. If a question is left blank, i.e. no answer is marked by the candidate; there will be no penalty for that question.

Candidates have to qualify all the Tests of Part-I. The part-II i.e. professional knowledge test scores will be considered only for those candidates who qualify in each paper in the Part-I. Minimum qualifying marks in each individual Test will be decided by the Bank.

Personal Interview: Personal Interview will be conducted by Bank in the following manner:

1. Candidates who obtain minimum qualifying marks as decided by the Bank in Part-I, will be considered for shortlisting for Interview on the basis of merit prepared as per

marks obtained by them in Part-II i.e. Professional Knowledge Test, provided they fulfil the other eligibility criteria with regard to Educational qualification and Post

qualification work experience for the respective post.

2. Personal Interview will be of 25 marks. Minimum qualifying marks in interview shall be 45% i.e. 11.25 for SC/ST candidates & 50% i.e. 12.5 for other candidates.

3. Candidates will be provisionally selected for issuing offer of appointment on the basis of aggregate scores obtained by them in Online Written Test Part-II i.e. Professional Knowledge Test and Interview. A candidate should therefore qualify both in the Online Written Test as well as in interview and be sufficiently high in the merit besides fulfilling other eligibility criteria, to be shortlisted for subsequent provisional appointment.
