The open category tally is maintained at 50%. The IBPS refused to comment but the Former Madras High Court judge K Chandru said there was no legal sanctity for the move. The SBI, that implemented the EWS quota in last year recruitment, reduced the open category recruitment and others left unchanged. The Judge said if IBPS cuts the quota of reserved candidates it is a blatant opposition of the constitution. The IBPS had recently invited applications for filling vacancies in Bank of India, Bank of Maharashtra, Punjab and Sind Bank and UCO Bank. On October 3, 10 and 11 the preliminary examinations were conducted and the main exam and personal interview will be conducted based on the results in prelims result.
