Hi guys
I had my gdpi on 14 at delhi
Gd topic was-Reduction in defence expenditure and simultaneous increase in social expenditure is the need of the hour
My interview was mostly based on my bio data form
1st member started with giving a long lecture on suggesting me not to opt for a banking job bcoz of my technical background
Most of his ques were based on the reason why i want to go for a banking job
He then asked me to give five top qualities a bank manager shd have. I told like 15. But he wasn't satisfied and asked me again and again about the most imp qualitu. I knew that my going on counting was not a good option. So i said sir i don't know. I almost laughed when he gave the ans - Honesty
2nd member was a lady
She started with my hobbies. I had written Hollywood movies. She gave me a particular dialogue and asked the movie name. I didn't know and thats what i said.
3rd member asked whether rupee is a convertible currency or noy
And then 1 more economic term
I screwed both ans
4th member asked from my bio form about my interests in football and a few ques about ISL
Then asked whats the diff b/w oscars and academy awards
5th member asked the names of 5 biggest banks in India and a few more simple ques
Overall it was an easy interview. Most of the times i made them laugh especially the lady member
Hope that this proves helpful for u guys
Best of luck to all of u
SBI PO INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE part 1
Venue- SBI, Local Head Office, Patna
Date- 14 October, 2014
Time-11 AM
Panel-1
I entered the campus at 10:30. We were asked to wait in the lobby. Everything started in the back drop of fraudulent candidate's incident. On 8th October and 9th October, four candidates were caught and handed over to police at Patna LHO, on impersonification charges. The paper cuttings of the same were spread on the table besides the couch. A middle aged Gentleman came whose moustache ran up to the chin end. He said politely but firmly, "I do not know you but you know yourself, if there are some dubious candidates, here is the opportunity, you can make an excuse and go out. Nobody can help you once the process starts". He kept repeating the same thing again and again. His message was very clear as recently was of our Defense Minister Mr. Jaitley to Pakistan- "If you want to be adventurous with us, we will make your adventure unaffordable". The Gentleman was retired Captain in army and was security in charge of the campus. The army personnel either from Short Service Commission or prematurely retire from Permanent Service Commission, later joins bank or other corporate, management institutions.
I have been through corporate, SSB, SSC processes but I must admit that the infrastructure at SBI LHO bettered every one of them, whether it was the Waiting halls, the conference rooms, the dining hall, the interviewing room, the lavatories, everything. It seems that SBI is spending all it assets on local head office only.
325 candidates are to be interviewed from Bihar and Jharkhand region from 8th to 22nd October. Approximate 28 candidates are to be interviewed everyday in two sessions. There is only 1 panel.
Moving ahead, the Captain took us to the 7th floor which has the SBI Vigilance department where the officers were to verify ,rather I would say scrutinize us. One by one we were getting verified. When my turn came and I entered the room, four officers were verifying each four of us under camera surveillance. The officer took my file and kept it aside and the first thing he asked,"tell me the route through which you reached your exam centre". That was unexpected. I replied," from my house NH23 is 1km, then we head towards nayamore......". I am from Bokaro, I thought he was just asking formally and he did not know anything about the city, so I made it short. He said," are Chas bridge to paar karvao". They were serious about it.
Further questions like - On what topic did you write the essay, letter and the paragraph? What was the exam date? How was the arrangement of the class where you took the exam? Further he had a doubt about one of my certificates; he made me call to my father with the landline. When I kept the call, he says-" Did you say you are Rahul?". Yen Macha chill. "kya Sir mera ghar ka naam hai", I replied. "Itni scrutiny to Army vale bhi nahi karte" I added. "Babu ye bihar hai" he was wearing a smile.
Another candidate just besides me had a photo which appeared doubtful to them as they thought he was trying to hide his identity. The student said that his mother has taken the photograph at home. I mean that was funny. We know our mothers will do everything best for us, but we should leave photography to the professionals, at least when we are applying for a job. Later, his academic background was not that great and their doubt grew deeper. The question asked to him- (a+b)^2 , 19^2, 24^2 , 48+52 etc. You might not believe it but this is what has happened. I almost burst into laughter when the last question was asked.
Another candidate pasted a couple of years back photo in his application. In that picture he had hair but now he was almost half bald. He was grilled the most till the end.
One of us was called again because his thumb impression did not match because he recently had a cut on his thumb. They were matching the thumb impression with magnifying glass.
Everyone was clear from our batch. I am not sure this is the story at every local head offices but this is what is happening at Patna. It may sound fun now but it was not at real time.
Do's-
1) When you download the bio-data form, download each page on a separate sheet, not at the back of a sheet.
2) If you are a OBC candidate, it is better if you carry your residential certificate, just on safe side.
Don't-
1)
If you do not remember something just tell that,
do not beat around the bush, it is their duty, if you are genuine, you will be
clean at the end.
Apart from that the staff was cordial; you do not have to go outside for anything.
Note: They are certainly not creating problems with the documents once they are sure that you are the genuine candidate. There is nothing to panic around. That is their job. I did not have the passing certificate of class 12, they took an undertaking without making it chaotic.
Part2 will follow.

SBI PO GD/PI EXPERIENCE PART 2
Group discussion
After the document verification we were taken to the well furnished Conference Room. There was a U- shaped long table. We took our seats and were provided with notepad and a pen. The officer coordinating us made a call, "All is set, Sir". We were waiting and the 4 Gentlemen and a lady made a grant entry just like the cast of the latest flick of Farah khan- Happy New Year, which is definitely going to be a crap. A dialogue they show in the promotions-"There are only two kinds of people in this world- the winners and the losers.....". They were definitely the winners. When I imagine a banker, I could see somebody with less hair, a pot on the tummy, looks tired, diabetic etc. I am saying this without disrespecting the profession. They were completely unlike the officers we see in the local branches. They were courteously dressed and had dynamic personality. They took their seats briskly. The president of the panel was tall and was in his late 50's but looked younger than his age. He took the seat at the centre of the curve of U. Two of the others were besides him and the other two sat at the terminals. The designation of the president was of Chief General Manager, as told by the coordinating officer. If somebody does not aspire different things or does not want some 'KICK' in life, I think it can be a prospective career.
The president briefed us about the rules of the Game.
"You will be given a topic and you will be given 2 mins to jot down your points and then you have to speak individually for 2 mins, anybody can speak at random. But start it by clarifying whether you are speaking for or against the motion. And after that there will be open discussions."
Your topic is," Should India have smaller States".
I have hardly written anything and they pressed the buzzer. A lady started addressing and spoke for the motion. Another Gentleman spoke for the motion.
I was third to speak and started as " My worthy friends, I would like to respectfully disagree on the stand you have taken, so I am speaking against the motion." I started with little history- linguistic basis of bifurcation, current situation, telangana, Jharkhand, other recent demands, first mentioned the pros of smaller states- easy administration, capital city develops etc then focused on the cons like political symbolism, unstable government, corruption etc, and ended on the lines only political will and cooperation of aware people is needed. The centre and state should join hands with the people to make the place better to live in". I kept the points but was not fluent and even stuttered.
We had a good batch and everybody made decent points. After the last candidate spoke the president again gave instructions.
"Now there will be an open discussion and if you think you have new points what was not discussed earlier, you can come in but make sure it is not more than 30secs. You do not necessarily need to come in but make sure if you do, do not try to come again and again."
The open discussion was hardly for 5 mins and the buzzer was pressed. I could spoke once.
If somebody has a beforehand GD experience, it was unlike the usual one. There was no fish market, no chaos, and no heated arguments. It is also fair for the first timers who have butterflies in their stomach. And even language is not a barrier; one of the Gentlemen from our batch spoke very well in Hindi. The point is that have confidence in yourselves and just go out and express your selves, you will easily sail through. The process does not tilt in favor of experienced. It is unlike SSB's.
After that four of us were taken for interview and rest was sent for lunch.
PART 3 will follow
