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
do not worry bro u have given ur best and hope for it

4. If they didn't then go for their security
THIS IS WHAT I HAVE TOLD ,,DUNNO WHETHER THIS IS RIGHT OT WRONG
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.

My character is mentioned in that course completion certificate itself. And its given in 2011. Pls help me.. my interview is on 11th.
ReplyDeletefor sbi clerk interview, it is written in call letter:
ReplyDeleteCharacter Certificates issued by any two of the following —
(a) Head of the School / College last attended
(b) Gazetted Officer
(C) Previous / present employer, if any
i have got Character Certificates from two officers. is it okay?
gap ko kaise explainn karein interview me..
ReplyDeleteHi, 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.
ReplyDeleteSorry 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.
how?
ReplyDeleteIf living certificate has word like CONDUCT:GOOD,then it act as chra.certificate ,dont worry,and 2nd u will get from gazz.officer
ReplyDeleteif u have any doubt call sbi HQ,no is on sbi website..
ReplyDeletehai any one tell me that whether it is better to get the sign in identity certificate from the recognised school principal or the gazetted officer?
