Tamilnad Mercantile Bank Ltd. (TMB), one of India’s leading old private sector scheduled commercial banks, has released six individual recruitment notifications inviting online e-applications for five specialist and managerial roles — Agricultural Officer (Assistant Manager grade), Specialist Officer – Civil Engineer (Assistant Manager grade), Specialist Officer – Law in Manager and Assistant Manager grades, Manager (Generalist), and Security Officer. Applications are open from 24 August 2026 to 6 September 2026 at the TMB careers portal. There is no application fee for any post. Selection is through Personal Interview only — direct or video conferencing — with no written examination. Vacancy count has not been specified for any post. All posts are regular basis appointments except Security Officer, which is a 3-year contract renewable by 2 more years.
Important – Read Before You Apply: Four things that will get your application rejected. First, an e-mail activation step is mandatory before the application form can be completed — after registering on the portal, an activation link is sent to your registered e-mail ID; if you do not click this link, you cannot proceed to fill the form; use an active personal e-mail ID and check it immediately after registration. Second, age is reckoned as on 31 July 2026 for most posts — the Manager (Generalist) post does not specify a reference date, but all other four posts use this date; candidates who turned 30, 35, 40 or 50 after 31 July 2026 do not get the benefit of the extra days. Third, your name and your father’s/husband’s name in the application must be spelt exactly as they appear on your certificates and mark sheets — any difference is treated as a mismatch and may disqualify your candidature. Fourth, the Security Officer post is a 3-year contract and is not a regular bank appointment — unlike the other four posts; candidates applying for this role must be clear they are joining on a contract term with no guaranteed regularisation.
