The scores awarded to qualified candidates are also likely to be used by a few other Banks and Financial Institutions like IDBI Bank, ECGC etc. for selection for entry level Officers' posts. Candidates will however have to satisfy the eligibility criteria for these organizations as individually stipulated by them.

Successful candidates in the CWE who have been issued scorecards and who meet the stipulated eligibility criteria will then be required to apply to any of the participating banks they wish to, quoting their personal details and their CWE scores. Each bank will then individually shortlist candidates and carry out their own selection processes such as Group Discussions and/ or Interviews etc. for final selection.
