Name : Aditya Srivastava

Post Applied for : RRB Officer scale 1

Time : 8.30 AM Panel 1

Interview Venue : PNB, Vibhtuti Khand, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow

Reached around 8.15. A tent had been set up in front of the entrance to the main interview venue. Sat there. Went in for verification around 10.30. Biometric verification was done first. Then  I was asked to write 3993 and my name in English and Hindi.

This was followed by document verification. Done without any hassle since all my documents were in order.

After that i was taken to the place where the interviews were going on. My turn came after 15 mins.

3M and 1F (1 male had gone out. he came back when my interview was done)

Wished them and the head of the panel asked me to take a seat.

1F- So you did your schooling from St Francis College?

ME Yes ma'am.

1F- What did u do after school?

Me- Ma'am I have done my bachelor in arts in English and Economics (actually i have a 3yr gap because i went to do engineering but i wasn't able to complete it. I had a feeling that she wanted me to say that but I didn't bcz there is no point saying things that are not being asked)

1F- Why do u wanna join banking sector?

Me- Bank offers tremendous growth opportunities and it is a respectable profession in India. Also it is a secure job.

1F- ok so you're looking for career growth?

Me- yes ma'am.

1F- What will be your profile and what will u do while working in the bank? told

1f- let's say that a new rrb branch is about to come up in a village. then how will u inform people about it and get customer?

Me- ma'am i would set up an ultra small branch and take the help of influential villagers like the panchayat members and others so as to tell the people that saving their money with bank is a better option rather than converting their money in gold assets and taking the help of moneylenders who charge high rate of interest. I would tell them that I'm there to help them and they can get better profit by investing their surplus money with a bank.

1F- ok so what's the head of the panchayat called?

me- sarpanch. they're very influential and ppl listen to them. also sarpanch nowadays are educated and liberal and they know that the govt and banks are there to help them out.

1f- ok so now we will talk in hindi also.

me - sure ma'am

1M- so u did economics ?

me- yes sir

1m- ok so tell me what is gdp. told properly

1m - tell me the gdp base year and current growth rate of gdp. i was a lil confused about the exact figure so i said "sorry sir i don't know"

1m- ok tell me how are banks helping the country.told.

then they asked me to go

before going i told the head that i had met him once before in ibps clerk interview.

I maintained eye contact throughout and i wasn't nervous at all( previously gave IBPS clerk and SBI PO interview)

i just forgot to smile all the time. i did smile at regular intervals though.

I found it quite easy. I might be wrong but the panel looked tired also.
