Bank of Baroda Recruitment 2026: 418 IT Posts and 206 Managerial Vacancies Explained

The sources reviewed for this page contain no Bank of Baroda Guest Player notice and no 14-post recruitment, so nothing here can be confirmed about one. What they do document are two Bank of Baroda drives in 2026 for regular-basis (non-apprenticeship) officer posts. Both application windows had closed as of 14 October 2026.

Education

The mandatory qualification is a full-time B.E., B.Tech., M.Tech., M.E. or MCA in Computer Science, Information Technology or Electronics & Communication.

Qualifications must be from institutions recognised by the Government of India or AICTE.

The three general sections are qualifying only, with a 40% minimum for General/EWS and 35% for reserved categories. This notice states there is no negative marking.
• The minimum qualifying mark for the interview is 60% for General and 55% for reserved categories.

How applications were made

The IT notice says applications were accepted only online through the Careers section (Current Opportunities) of the bank's website, www.bankofbaroda.bank.in, with the fee paid online. Candidates needed an active personal email ID and phone number, because call letters go only to the registered email. Registration is complete only when the fee is paid. The full notice is at Bank of Baroda's IT advertisement (PDF).

The 206 managerial posts reported in August 2026

Hindustan Times reported that applications ran from 6 August to 26 August 2026. It listed these departmental vacancies:

• Digital Banking: 22
• Information Security: 18
• Security: 55
• Enterprise Data Management Office: 19
• Corporate Accounts & Taxation Planning: 20
• Facility Management: 88

These figures add up to 222, not the 206 in the headline, so the vacancy count is unresolved in the material reviewed. The article does not name the individual posts, grades or eligibility, and refers readers to the detailed notification, which was not available here. It links to the bank's August 2026 advertisement (PDF); confirm vacancies and eligibility there.

The article's exam description (150 questions, 225 marks, 150 minutes) matches the IT notice. It says wrong answers carry a 0.25 penalty, whereas the IT notice says there is no negative marking. The two notices appear to differ on this point, so check the rules in the notice for the drive you follow. The fees it reports match the IT notice.

What is not covered

• Any Guest Player, sports or 14-post Bank of Baroda recruitment.
• The IT notice beyond its page 14, including the roles and responsibilities annexure and the document-upload specifications.
• Any later corrigendum. The IT notice says revisions are published only on the bank's website.
