We can't blame the industry, they want someone who could work for them, they will not be ready to train us…

Do you want the said bank to be staffed with candidates who qualified without exams? The rating of this bank will go done if these candidates are recruited.

However, the bank issued a clarification saying, “This is a typo and we regret the error. Graduates can apply irrespective of the year of passing as long as they meet the age criteria. We have already issued the corrected advertisement.”
