Bank of Baroda SO Recruitment 2026 at a Glance

Vacancy Overview

The 206 posts are spread across specialist roles at Manager, Senior Manager, Technical Officer and Chief Manager grades. Bank of Baroda has not published a department-wise breakup in the summary advertisement — the detailed notification carries the exact split across Digital Banking, Facility Management, Information Security, Security, EDMO (Estate, Development and Maintenance Organisation) and Taxation. Since eligibility, pay and experience requirements differ by department and grade, candidates should identify their target post in the full PDF before starting the application.

Eligibility Criteria

Age Limit

The age limit broadly ranges from 23 to 43 years depending on the post and grade applied for, reckoned as on 1 August 2026. Age relaxation for SC/ST/OBC/PwBD/Ex-servicemen candidates applies as per Government of India norms — check the category-wise relaxation table in the detailed advertisement.

Educational Qualification and Experience

Qualification and experience requirements vary significantly by department and grade — ranging from relevant technical or professional degrees to specific years of post-qualification experience in fields like digital banking, IT security, facility management, physical security or taxation. Bank of Baroda has not standardised these across all 206 posts, so applicants must check the post-specific eligibility table in the official PDF rather than assume a single benchmark applies.

Application Fee

Payment is online only, through debit card, credit card, net banking or UPI.
