Hi Jassi,
1. A qualified individual can join a bank as a clerk, grade I or grade II probationary officer or as a manager.
A clerical cadre can grow professionally as senior officer in the bank. Candidates entering in a bank as a Probationary officer can develop to be General Manager or even Managing Director and Chairman of the organization.
2, For both Probationary Officer and Clerical post the candidates are taken in and are offered training for a fixed period of time.
3. The main difference between the two posts is the type of work involved in each position. A person joining as a clerk will have to do most of the clerical related jobs in a bank.
The Probationary Officer's job is similar to a Manager Trainee position. For a Probationary Officer the main qualities requirement are decision-making skills, leadership qualities and intelligence to tackle different situations.
Salary of a bank PO ranges between Rs.29,000-31,000 and a clerk ranges between Rs.13,000-15,000.

Hi Payal,
Preparation of all the bank exams like IBPS,SBI,RBI (Probationary Officer/Clerk/ Specialist Officer) etc. are some what same. Just the difficulty level varies. Like clerk exam is more easy in comparison with Probationary Officer/Specialist Office.
There is no fixed syllabus for such exams. While the broad areas from which questions can be asked are known, no question is generally considered “out-of-syllabus”. You have to keep this in mind and prepare for aptitude tests. However, you can identify the most common areas by solving previous year question papers(or sample papers) and taking sufficient mock tests.
While each specific exam may have a different format in terms of total questions, number of sections, number of questions per section, negative marking and so on, the overall content structure of all upcoming bank exams is similar.
