had my gd-pi on 6th in delhi...it was the worst but yet funniest experience for me....i think people in a fish market will be more civilized and professional than some of those people with whom i participated in the gd...felt a little better when the controller rejected all of them from the group....Interview round went pretty well...they just asked about my academics, hobbies and few questions related to banking..the only scary question was, IS SALES A GOOD DEAL WITH YOU?and i was like ...........friends any idea when are they going to announce the results?And please share if you have any idea about the bond and the job profile..best of luck to every1
@dezire.kshitij Sales a good deal ...its a bad deal for me ...im worried
