Friends, as all of you know for the first time in Banking History IBPS has been conducting Common Interviews for Probationary Officers of 19 Nationalized Banks. The interview process has been started from 14th January 2013 and will end by the 3rd week of February 2013. As IBPS is conducting the Common Interviews for the first time, some people have been fearing about this. But friends, trust us... Everything is going fine there... The interviewers are friendly, questions are easy and the whole process is going in a friendly environment. So better stop fearing and start treating this as the last step for your Success. So friends, here is the detailed Analysis of Common Interviews for POs conducted by IBPS. 

This analysis was based on the Interview Experiences of  our friends Moni Prajapathi (Delhi - Interview Held on 15th Jan 2013) and Karthik Badmi (Bangalore - Interview Held on 16th Jan 2013). We would like to thank them on behalf of all our team members and our Readers for their great contribution in breaking the myths of Common Interview and helping our readers to prepare better. 

About the Pannel(s) :
There are 12 Pannels (aprox) to conduct simultaneous interviews and every panel consists of 4 Members (Senior Employees of various Nationalized Banks). The average time for the Interviews is 15 to 20 Mins. Some people completed their interviews in 10 mins too. 

About the set of Documents you should carry with you :
We've already updated the list of Documents you should carry for IBPS PO Common Interview. You can read that post Here.

About the Questions being asked in Common Interviews :
The panel have been shooting the questions depending on the Candidate. If the candidate seems nervous they are just playing with his mind by asking silly questions so try to appear Confident. Usually they are mainly focusing on the candidate's background (both family and educational backgrounds), later they are targeting on the skills, and how the candidate can handle the difficult situations (they are giving an example worst situation and asking how you will react in that situation). Finally they are checking the basic knowledge of candidates on Banking. If the candidate is from Technical Background, he / she should face the question "Why Banking? Why NO Software?". 

Questions asked in IBPS Common Interview 

Apart from basic banking terminology and questions on your education, these are the main questions they've asked in IBPS Common Interview.

  • Why NO Software after Engineering? with good grades?
  • Have you prepared for the Interview? If yes what you have prepared?

    1. They will consider your problem friend. They wont ask you such questions. So no need to be tensed...

      Even if they ask you just tell them that you have the problem so unable to go longer distances. Nothing wrong in it wont effect your Interview..
