My United bank of India Interview Experience.
Date 07-11-2009 10:30 AM Hyderabad
I am a 2008 B-Tech pass out with '0' full time work experience.

1)Tell me about yourself.
2)from where do you come from?
3)What is so special about AP compared to other states of India?
4)Some say AP is developed. How can they say it, when the power cuts are still present? How can it be development without providing with full Electricity supply?
5)What is your opinion about free current? do you think Govt must give free current in this scenario?
6)your are a techno guy, how is this useful in Banking?
7)Now I am going to ask you on General Knowledge. Which are the two states having the same capital in India?
What is the specialty of January 26th ?
9)What did you studied in +2?
*10) What is do you mean by the terms umbra and penumbra?*
11)Now I shall test you on Current affairs. Who is the Chief Minister of West Bengal?
12)Who is the C.M. of Karnataka?
13)Do you have any computer subjects in your B-Tech?
14)How are computers useful in Banking?
15)What do you meant by CBS?
16)Give me three Strong -> Strong reasons that you shall stay in U.B.I?
17)How do banks take part in our country's Development?
and they said,
thank you, you can go/

I got confused about Umbra and penumbra, I actually told him the definition of penumbra to umbra and vice-versa. he said that it is different.
I told him that it is confusing and solemnly withdrew from it. thought it is a good idea not to escalate it.

Apart from the above everything went very well. I was able to give them convincing and well put answers to all the other questions. Interview was swift took about 7-8 min.

Tips I suggest to other aspirants.
>The most questions come from what do say or what are related with you.
so be cautious while answering.
>Use Mr. and Mrs/Ms where ever necessary. My predecessors, made the mistake of not using them.
>Try to learn some basics about your state and place from which you come, India political structure i.e. about loksabha and Rajyasabha, President, PM, SC chief justice, cabinet Ministers, their appointments etc.
>follow current affairs of the past ten days at the least. remember people in news.
>Glance through RBI website, 'FAQ's, Press statements, RBI governor, deputy Governor.
>and of course read about the bank and its latest events.

I wish all of you, the very best.

@Maheshkumar, hi bro thnx for sharing ur experience, it really helps. Did they ask you about 1 year gap after b.tech? If they ask it what would be the fine answer for tht quest.

no but if asked, tell them
you are looking for a full time paid job with career growth and you don't like to get job through recommendations.
More over due to the Recession IT job market is dull. so a You also need to face a tough competition from IT professionals to get job in the open recruitment which also added to your 1 year Gap.

It is always how you structure your answer.

good luck.

@Maheshkumar.
Apart from this I think that your general GK level should be high as ques. can be asked from anywhere.
You can see my experience of federal bank PO intw.,I was asked abt. languages used in S.India and abt. Bengali film Directors.

yes i completely agree.. Sound general knowledge. Its a must. And also how one answers. I mean the guys who take the interview, are veterans, and have a great knowledge about mosy of the things.
One important thing that i realised after spending 3 years at DU with veteran professors and after knowing some bankers , on high posts.
U will manage to impress them only with knowledge, nothing else matters.
And even if u manage to impress them, they wont even show you that they are impressed, instead they will keep on asking more things, taking the question 2 next higher level. AND STILL they will have a look at their face as if nothing has happened.

wow.
