Though IBPS is conducting the Specialist Officer exam again this year but many students are still complaining that not a single vacancy was published last year for Marketing officer profile and some other profiles on the basis of last year Specialist officer(SO) results. So, that was quite an mismanagement by IBPS. Some students are even planning to put RTI against IBPS.

Anyways, we wish all the students best of luck for IBPS CWE SO exam. We will keep you updated with Specialist Officer exam syllabus and study material in the coming days.
