Dear Aspirants, We have got number of requests to post the syllabus of IBPS IT Officer as some of our friends are taking this exam first time and they have no idea or some how in dilemma with what to read? and what to leave? So D2G team is here to show you the path. First thing is to Forget if one is telling you that you have to read GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) Books. SIMPLY NO. You don’t need to read those behemoth pile of notes again. Some College notes are enough to crack the IBPS SO Exam. Remember the difficulty of IBPS IT Officer’s Professional Knowledge is Moderate. They will not gonna ask you any technical stuff like they ask in College Placement Cell. Moreover you will have Multiple Options. So be calm and chose your answer.

But before you land to the arena of Specialist Officer’s Syllabus lets talk about some Portfolio of the same.

These days, almost every bank is in need of IT Officers. These IT Officers are responsible to take care of banks’ software systems. They are also responsible to look into maintenance of servers, database and other networking aspects. Generally, candidates with B.E./B.Tech, MCA or M.Sc.(or Equivalent) Degree in Computer Science or any other stream having Computer Science as a subject are eligible to apply for IT posts.

What Exactly IT Officers do in Bank?

IT technical support officers monitor and maintain the computer systems and networks of an organisation like

• installing and configuring computer hardware operating systems and applications;
• monitoring and maintaining computer systems and networks;
• talking staff/clients through a series of actions, either face to face or over the telephone;
• troubleshooting system and network problems and diagnosing and solving hardware/software faults;
• replacing parts as required;
