ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me the difference (if any) between the difficulty level or any other factor for IT Officer SCALE I and SCALE II exams conducted by IBPS, except the difference in Pay scale, age limit and Number of Years of experience required for SCALE II ?
I never appeared for IT officer exam, but I appeared for scale II finance officer exam. I felt more questions were asked about work flow and things that are used while performing a particular job while scale I exam is bookish.
DeleteHope it helped
