  3. Hai madam..! My name is Kumar.
    Recently I have attended SBI clerical interview.
    In that I faced the Interview with lot of enjoyment and curiosity(there is no tension).
    I answered all the questions confidently with smile.
    But I made 2 mistakes those are one wrong answer(which is almost similar to actual answer) and second is I licked my lips little bit *not highly*(2-3 times as I was thirsty and to say answers clearly) as Interview was held at 5PM from actual time 12PM. Is it Correct that what I did..?

    and I will give my interview experience Very soon.

    Thank you..!

    1. Licking lips while answering is not such a bad gesture Kumar (unless you repeatedly do this)... but arguing with interviewer may lead to some negative impacts.. there are chances that the interviewers may think that you are trying to confuse them or bluffing them... Anyways, in your case these two mistakes wont be considerable.. All the best

  4. That wrong answer also I said Confidently ( as I know that it was 100% correct).

    M1 (50yrs): he not even looked at my face, looking at some papers from my entry upto exit
    M4 (25-28yrs): he always smiled at me, watching me, never raised any question, silent smiling observer
    M2 (50-55yrs): he asked me, when you completed your PG,what major
    ME: sir, M.Sc in 2006, biochemistry major, (as soon as i said this, his face turned like why these people are coming for interview, fit for nothing it seems, "because i haven't worked anywhere, completed in 2006, now 2013, nearly 5 yrs gap,ideal in home other than preparing for exams"
    M2: what your father doing?
    ME: dentist in Indian air force, retired
    M3 (58-60yrs) : is this your first time appearing for interview?
    ME: yes sir, ( because i haven't submitted the OBC certificate and in verification they commanded as " not submitted" from this they get to know that it is my first interview attempt
    M2: have you passed any exam before
    ME: yes sir, last year clerical
    M2: then why not attended any interview
    ME : my cut off is less sir (before completing my answer)
    M2: what was your last score and now
    ME :last year 127 in clerical and now 137 in PO sir (again he looked at me like no hope, definitely you will be not selected so on )

    ME : sir, i don't now much about that sir
    M2 : you people are thinking that these questions only we are going to ask and appearing for the interview
    M3 : you don't know how to calculate then how we select you as a PO officer
    M2 : appearing for PO interview you suppose to know everything about it, you don't know means, then how we select you as a officer, how you manage as a officer
    M2 : you just gone through some bank terminologies and rates in some net sites, but this is not enough to select a PO officer, you must have to know about it
    ME : (i really feel so bad) i said sorry sir, definitely i join and learn about all these things before my joining if i get selected

    1. No need to loose hope friend. Infact its just one of their tactics to check your efficiencies and problem handling abilities ... Not observing you from start to end (M1), Smiling at you (M4), Irritating you with questions and blaming you for no reason.. all these are in the part of mind game... It seems you've succeeded handling them. Because during the entire interview you kept on carrying same emotional levels and dint lie or argue with them at any point... So still you have chances. Infact.. Good Chances. So no need to be tensed.. All the best :)

  10. friends i don’t know how far PO-II will get the job, because still PO-1 recruitment is going on, , 21 jan, allahabad bank recruited nearly some 200 candidates from PO-I list as 4th list, if each bank do the same then how PO-II will get the vacancy i don’t know, because ibps not published the number of vacancy for PO-II and said PO-II cut of valid from jan 2013 only, so that no body applied for the existing vacancy published by respectable bank upto dec 2012, ibps suppose to inform that all the banks should complete their recruitment process before Dec 2012 and by the next jan 2013 is only for PO-II candidates, if still some bank recruiting PO-I and filling up all the vacancies , then PO-II will get very very less number of vacancy only from each bank , it’s really pathetic for succeeded PO-II candidates

  11. I have gone through many of the interview experiences shared by the candidates over here...and now i feel why the culture of the bank is deteriorating.

  13. Hi, I am Srikar.
    Right now I'm working with Karur Vysya Bank as a Prob.Officer.
    Now I got shortlisted for Interview in IBPS PO 2013.
    I am very confident in all the aspects except one.
    I would face the following question anyway.
    And that is...

    "Already you are working as a PO in a bank, then why do you want to get into this again as a PO?"

    The only thing is that, these are Public Sector Banks and KVB is a Private Bank.
    But that doesn't make a correct answer in the interview.

    So, I need your help in this regard.
