If you work in wealth management or investment advisory and have been waiting for a big-bank opportunity, Bank of Baroda has just handed you one. 

The bank has announced 837 openings in its Wealth Management Services (WMS) department, and applications opened on 4 November 2026. 

One thing to say clearly before you get your hopes up: this is not a fresher recruitment. You need real relationship management experience to be in the game.

The Recruitment in a Nutshell

Bank of Baroda has released Advertisement No. BOB/HRM/REC/ADVT/2026/20 for 837 contractual positions across five roles. 

The bulk of the vacancies, 791 to be exact, are for Senior Relationship Manager (Deputy Manager), so that’s where most people will be looking. 

You can apply online until 24 November 2026, and the posting can be anywhere in India. The application fee is Rs. 850 for UR, EWS and OBC candidates and Rs. 

175 for SC, ST, PwBD, Ex-Servicemen and women candidates, plus payment gateway charges. Age, qualification and experience are all counted as on 1 November 2026.

Where Are the 837 Vacancies?

By category, the 837 seats break up as UR 346, OBC 224, SC 124, EWS 82 and ST 61. The notification also identifies 35 horizontal PwBD vacancies, which are included in the total and not added on top. The bank can revise the vacancy numbers later.

Who Can Apply?

Every post needs a graduation degree in any discipline, plus the right certifications and a good chunk of experience. Here’s how it looks post by post:

A few things worth knowing about the big one, the Senior Relationship Manager post:

• You need graduation in any discipline along with NISM V-A / NISM V-D and/or IRDA IC38 certification.

• Your three years should be as a Relationship Manager in wealth management, investment advisory or portfolio management, at banks, broking firms, asset management companies or similar financial organisations.

• An MBA, CFP, CFA or NISM XIII/XXI-A is preferred, not mandatory.

• Clerical, teaching and training experience doesn’t count, and neither does any stint shorter than six months in one organisation.

For the senior posts, Head Investment and Investment Product Manager also need a prescribed NISM certification.

Age Relaxation

If you belong to a reserved category, you get some breathing room on the upper age limit:

• SC/ST: 5 years

• OBC (Non-Creamy Layer): 3 years

• PwBD: 10 years (General/EWS), 13 years (OBC), 15 years (SC/ST)

• Ex-Servicemen: 5 years (General/EWS), 8 years (OBC), 10 years (SC/ST)

Relaxation only applies where the reservation conditions in the notification allow it, so check yours before claiming it.

What Will You Earn?

Here’s the honest answer: the bank hasn’t published a fixed salary. Pay will be decided based on your qualifications, experience, last-drawn salary, suitability and market benchmarks for the role. Don’t assume regular Bank of Baroda officer pay scales apply to these contractual posts.

The Contract: Read This Before You Apply

This isn’t a permanent banking job, and it helps to know the terms upfront:

• The engagement is contractual, initially for 5 years.

• It can be extended by up to another 5 years, based on performance and the bank’s discretion.

• It can’t go beyond age 60 in any case.

• Permanent absorption isn’t promised anywhere in the notification.

How Will You Be Selected?

The bank may use a mix of application scrutiny, an online test, a psychometric assessment and a personal interview, followed by document verification, and it hasn’t confirmed that every candidate will go through every stage. The interview is the key hurdle, where you need at least 60% marks if you’re in the General or EWS category and 55% if you’re in a reserved category. No exam or interview dates have been announced yet, so keep checking the careers section of the bank’s website.

Documents to Keep Ready

Get these sorted before you start, so the form doesn’t take all evening:

• Your updated resume

• Date of birth proof (Class 10 certificate)

• Graduation certificates and marksheets, plus your postgraduate certificate if you’re claiming one

• Your NISM, IRDA, CFP or CFA certificates

• Experience letters, appointment letters, relieving letters, latest salary slips and CTC details

• Photo ID, category or PwBD certificates if applicable, and a passport-size photo and scanned signature

The photo should be 20 to 50 KB and the signature 10 to 20 KB, both in JPG/JPEG, while supporting documents go up as PDFs of up to 500 KB each.
