Can 12th pass candidates get jobs in government banks?

Direct clerk recruitment in banks now needs graduation. But for peon, office attendant, or multipurpose staff, 12th pass is eligible. These jobs are permanent and come with banking benefits.

I joined as office attendant in a public sector bank after 12th. Salary was decent, and job was stable. Higher posts need graduation, but support staff jobs are available for 12th pass.

Yes, but not clerical or officer roles. Those need graduation. For 12th pass, only subordinate staff posts are available. Still, it is a good start if you want banking career.
