For those with a technical background, a B.Tech/B.E. (CS/IT)/BCA/MCA with at least 55% marks, or a BBA/MBA in Banking/Finance/HR from a UGC/AICTE recognized institution, could be your ticket. Clerical roles like Assistant/Cashier and Assistant/Typist require a Bachelor’s Degree with specific computer certificates (like CCC) and, for typists, specific Hindi and English typing speeds.
