37 HI vacancies for Deaf and Hard of Hearing candidates
The recruitment vacancy table includes 37 posts under the HI category. PwBD reservation is horizontal, so candidates should check the state-wise vacancy table and all eligibility conditions before applying.
For Deaf and Hard of Hearing candidates, the important point is that the notification does not only mention PwBD generally — it includes a specific HI vacancy column.
State-wise recruitment
The 2,482 vacancies are distributed across multiple states. Candidates apply against a state and must meet the required local language condition for that state.
Some of the larger state totals include:
- Gujarat: 1,185 vacancies
- Karnataka: 418 vacancies
- Maharashtra: 218 vacancies
- Tamil Nadu: 132 vacancies
- Odisha: 100 vacancies
- Andhra Pradesh: 80 vacancies
Candidates should use the official advertisement to check the complete state-wise vacancy and PwBD table.

- Educational qualification

- Age limit and relaxation
- Local language proficiency
- PwBD disability certification

Meeting the HI category alone does not automatically make a candidate eligible; all other post requirements must also be satisfied.
Selection process
The selection process includes stages specified by Bank of Baroda in the detailed advertisement. Candidates should check the official notification for the latest information about the online test, local language proficiency requirements and interview/selection process.

Important note for Deaf candidates
There are 37 HI vacancies across the recruitment, but they are not necessarily available equally in every state. Candidates should confirm the exact state-wise HI vacancy before selecting a state and submitting the application.
Also check the official notification for PwBD documentation, disability percentage requirements, examination accommodations and any instructions applicable to Deaf and Hard of Hearing candidates.
