Hello guys,
               I'm Viknesh. I would like to  share my experience of SBI Clerks Interview which was held yesterday (8th December 2014) with you people.

P.S : I'm not good in English , try to ignore the spelling/grammatical errors.

Place : Coimbatore

Panel : I

Time: 12pm

We (Participants) entered the room at 12'O clock, First the certificate verification, After that they announced the order, mine was 12, So i went for lunch and returned back at 2'O clock,
The interview Panel consists of 5 members , 4 male and 1 female, The normal timing for one person is 20 minutes,,

To all 11 members ( Before me ) they asked about the general questions such as Native place, Fav foods, and Nothing from Banking Industry

So I thought that this will be the same for me, But I'm n't fully convinced.

Finally it's my turn,,

Its a small room so its tightly packed, And your every moment can be noted, And the usual cliche of female being the passive listener is been broken in my case ( She was the Head ),

Int 1 : After going through my profile,I listed " Cooking as my hoby ",  so every one  laughed ( I don't know the reason may be coz I'm a boy)
Ans : Sir, i don't have my mother so i have to cook ( Then they apologized to me )

Int 1 : You are a 2013 passout, so what are you doing since then,?
Ans : Sir, I was preparing for my bank exam

Int 1 : That's great why banking after B.E,?
Ans : Explained ( He isn't fully convinced )
           So i added there is an uncertainty of growth and future in IT field due to the recent growth in Banking sectors  ( He is fully convinced and stared to say more about it)

Int 1 : He asked about agriculture ad what % it involves i our total Economy, ?
Ans : I told agriculture is backbone of indian economy ( He replied that what i have studied, tell me about current scenario )
      I told its was 60% ( He told me then every body would be a farmer )

Int 2 : Tell me how to deal with Bad debt,?
Ans : I told him step by step, He seems to be convinced ( But not fully )

Int 2 : New technologies in SBI ?
Ans : I told him that SBI is going to release a new co branded credit card called "Style up" ( He didn't know this so i explained it further )

Int 2 : About lok adalat,?
Ans : Explained from top to bottom, ( He is fully convinced ).

Int 3(female) : She asked me about the securities for getting loan,?
Ans : Explained

Int 3 : She asked me about the criteria,?
Ans : Explained

Int 3 : Finally about small scale industries,?
Ans : I Said i don't know ( She explained )

Int 4 : About make in India,?
Ans : Explained

Int 5 : About Sbi life, Sbi card, Sbi general,?
Ans : I explained LIfe and general and don't know to cards

Int 1 : You may go now

My interview was the shortest one about 8-10 mins

And i left the room, I was not convinced myself,because i was taken aback, i didn't expect them to ask questions from core banking to a B.E student,  And personal interview for 10 mins.
I was cursing my luck why me,?
I know questions carry only 1.4 marks in your interview, But still..
I didn't want to agitate my fellows, so i told them its good and be prepared for Real-time questions
So if you are an B.E/B.TECH student please prepare for the banking related questions too,,
                                                                           Thank You

    2. Arrange a way for direct interaction with the people


    3. Give them extra time ( Because Customer is king )


    4. If they didn't then go for their security


    THIS IS WHAT I HAVE TOLD ,,DUNNO WHETHER THIS IS RIGHT OT WRONG

    ReplyDelete
  118. Panel is the group of people who conducts the interview for you. Normally there will be 3-5 members in a panel including a lady. There will be a number of panels marked with numbers in the interview venue in separate rooms. A candidate will be given a panel number to whom he will be sent for interview.

  164. for sbi clerk interview, it is written in call letter:

    (b) Gazetted Officer
    (C) Previous / present employer, if any
    i have got Character Certificates from two officers. is it okay?

    ReplyDelete
  165. gap ko kaise explainn karein interview me..

    ReplyDelete
  166. Hi, is it fair, to get the identity certificate signed by some gazetted officer? If you don't know any gazetted officer, or if no gazetted officer happens to know you, does that mean, you can not join any government service? Is it kind of a nexus, where govt employees hire only those who have connections to government employees.


    Sorry for complaint, but I happen to know no gazetted officer, and after recent incidents in Delhi, no strange officer is ready to sign for me, and there is no MLA here in Delhi as Legislative Assembly has been dismissed.

    ReplyDelete
