Indian bank has 1.7million applications for just 1,500 jobs!!!

India's main state bank is to test a record 1.7 million young people who have applied for just 1,500 jobs as probationary officers.

Advertisements for the positions marked the State Bank of India's first major recruitment drive for officer jobs in seven years. Senior officials said they were overwhelmed by the response.

The number of applications - almost as many as the entire population of Northern Ireland, and three times that of Glasgow – reflects how highly government jobs are coveted in India, despite the country's rapid economic growth and rise of many of its top companies to global domination.

 Officials said they now have five months to whittle down 1.7 million applicants, all aged between 21 and 30, to just over seven thousand and then pick the 1,824 brightest from interviews. Full story...
