If you are want to make a career in the Private Banking Sector than you need to have completed a graduation degree from any stream from a recognised university. You should be less than 25 years of age and must have at least minimum 55% percentage. You need to look for the eligibility criteria for the Private Banks in the Notification issued by them.
While there is no percentage criteria for the Government Bank exams.
I would suggest you to go for the Bank PO exams.
