Breaking News IBPS Clerk 2021: Many aspirants were not reading the official notification yet, and this morning IBPS had to remove the official notification from their website. It’s baffling how quickly tables have turned here.

The issue arose from the fact that the IBPS, the examination conducting body, had released the advertisement for IBPS clerk examinations only in two languages, i.e., English and Hindi. This particular detail became an issue because India recognizes 22 languages as per the Constitution of India.
The reason behind IBPS’ decision to come into the political limelight is because of the statements made by the Union Finance Minister in 2019. The honorable minister had announced and assured that banking exams will be held in local languages as well. However, the IBPS notification released some days back doesn’t communicate the same.

To further clarify the statement made by the finance ministry, it was made in the context of Regional Rural Bank examinations (RRB.)
The idea was to provide an equal medium and opportunity or level playing field for the youth. But, unfortunately, many candidates from regional and rural areas aren’t able to participate in such exams because of the language barrier.
In 2019, the government decided to recruit Office Assistant and Officer Scale I in RRBs. The decision declared that the exam would be conducted in 13 regional languages, including Konkani and Kannada, besides English and Hindi. And the exam are being successfully conducted in this regional language since then.

The Finance Ministry has now constituted a committee for looking into these matters entirely. A report is being expected to be submitted within the next 15 days, which will have the recommendations to resolve the issues at hand. This information came out as per the official statement made by the Finance Ministry.
The aspirants will have to wait for the final decision made by the concerned ministry. The IBPS has removed the notification, which means it’s better to wait for the new guidelines.

It’s clear that IBPS may have to make the changes in their new notification if we look at the past decisions made by the Finance Minsitry. The IBPS has a history for conducting exams for regional rural banks and to ot include regional languages might not go in their favour. However, it will be committee’s report which will decide wether IBPS will include new regional languages in their notification.
In the mean time, aspirants hould keep preparing for the exams if they interested. Such incidents do not pose threats over the termination of exam. It would be wise to keep yourself focused on the goal of cracking such exams.
