Bank of Baroda has launched a fresh Special Recruitment Drive 2026 for 11 regular officer vacancies under Advertisement No. BOB/HRM/REC/ADVT/2026/19 dated 28 October 2026. This recruitment is specifically for SC, ST and OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) candidates against backlog vacancies and is spread across three specialist functions: Risk Management, MSME Banking and Finance. The department-wise split is 6 vacancies in Risk Management, 1 in MSME Banking and 4 in Finance. The roles include Senior Manager profiles in project finance, MSME credit risk, enterprise/operational risk, fraud analysis, MSME relationship and business finance, along with Manager-level digital-fraud positions and Chief Manager roles in internal controls. These are regular Bank of Baroda officer-cadre appointments, not contractual technology-leadership posts under the separate Advertisement No. 18/2026. Qualification and experience vary significantly by post, so candidates should treat the basic eligibility as role-specific graduate, finance/accountancy, technology or management credentials with relevant banking/BFSI experience. Online registration opened on 28 October 2026 and closes on 17 November 2026. Candidates may apply for only one position under this advertisement and should verify the exact age, experience and category mapping before submission.

Age Limit

- MMG/S-III: ₹85,920–₹1,05,280

Because the 11 posts are spread across different grades, one common salary value is not used in the job data.
