Sharma, who is the new head. Positions of MD and CEO will be required to be filled in 12 banks. There are also 18 vacancies of EDs, which include positions that would fall vacant during this financial year. The interviews are expected to continue for 5 to 6 days. Banks where MD & CEO positions would be required to be filled are Dena Bank, Andhra Bank, Punjab and Sind Bank, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank, UCO Bank, Indian Bank, Syndicate Bank, Allahabad Bank, Central Bank of India, United Bank of India and Corporation Bank.
