Once the examination is conducted then and results are out, passing candidates are called for Personal Interview.
Salary and Allowances:
There is no doubt a Law Officer in a bank gets a very handsome salary. The pay scale and salary of a Law officer range from Rs. 34,000-70,000/- excluding other allowances all of which depends on the grade, scale, and rank of the officer.
The Pattern of Exam:
Any exam in IBPS has two stages consisting of Written Test and an Interview. The written exam of the Law Officer is an objective type question which contains various sections
The pattern consists of 200 marks in total and also has negative marking for every wrong answer given which is 0.25 deductions. All the topics hold equal importance and no single topic should be neglected as it can help in improving the overall score. As said earlier an interview is held for the successful candidates, bases on the above mentioned professional knowledge and academic achievements accompanied by other personal questions accessing the personality of an individual. IF everything else goes well then he/she is appointed as a Law officer in any one of the various banks listed under this Examination such as Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, Allahabad Bank, Bank of Maharashtra and others.
Approach for the Exam:
It true in most of the cases that a candidate applies for some exam and doesn't know how to approach for the exam and the required strategy is unknown. It is ideal that once goes through the previous year question paper and analyse closely as to what is the trend followed while asking questions and what areas need to be focused, depending on which he/she needs to plan a study strategy. As the what to read first, what areas need importance, what areas are little tougher than others, what areas need continues and repeated revision, what are the prescribed and most popular books on the subject matter. It is seen in the recent times that most of the coaching institutes provide mock test packages which ask the model questions and possible questions for upcoming exams, thus it has become important to go through these mock test to prepare yourself for the worst so that you can the best. Alternatively, these mock test question papers are available in the market, in any of the book stalls or Photostat booths which can be an economic way to practice the mock tests.
Role and Responsibility:
Everything about a bank, right from the start to the closure of the bank is governed by various laws of the land; hence a law officer has bigger tasks to perform right from its the beginning, such as compliance with laws and regulations. This goes on during the operation of the bank and even after the closure of it. Also, law officer plays his role from deposits and advancing loan to withdrawal and recovery of the loan amount with interest or may be managing and attaching the collateral securities if needed. In short, a law officer of a bank has a lot of responsibilities.
The job of a Law Officer is as good as a pillar, which forms the part of the banking system. The only gray area in this field is that the scope for promotion of a Law Officer is not as good as a PO of a Bank, though they may be posted at Regional Offices or Zonal Offices. A Law officer can never get a promotion of a rank of MD-CEO of a bank but it is most likely in the case of a PO to reach to that level. Nonetheless, this shouldn't stop anyone from becoming a Law officer, as it has its own benefits which cannot be ignored.
