A committee under the chairmanship of Dr.A.K.Khandelwal (former MD,Bank of Baroda) was setup in the year 2009 to study the HR issues in public sector banks.
The submitted report contained 105 recommendations & most of it were accepted by Govt. Of India.A notification was also sent to all public sector banks in October 2011 for executing the aforesaid.
In the same year, common written examination (CWE) for banking jobs were introduced. But candidates were not happy with the selection process & many complaints were forwarded to various officials.
