hi friends
I feel really sorry for you people going to work in bank after completing BE. Go and select some jobs that utilize your education and thereby contribute to the nation's growth and future. Youngsters shouldn't under utilize your abilities.. Leave the bank jobs for ladies.....
I had my interview at trivandrum today 11am. There was three members in my panel. All of them were cool
member 1:
At first the lady asked me the questions
she asked me "tell me about yourself"
Then she asked what was u doing after 2005. (as i havent completed all papers in Btech, i applied with +2 qualification only.)
Then they asked what was u doing after 2009(finishing Btech course. I replied I was preparing for Bank exams and also to clear the two back papers in my Btech exam.
Then questions came on my hobby side. She asked what are the places I have visited. Travelling and amateur photography is my hobby) , I replies i have visited many places in Kerala, Tamilnadu, Karnataka, Gujarath,and maharashtra, of temples,historical, tourism and picnic importance. Then I said some places in gujarat.
She asked me what is Amateur photography and with which cam I take photos.
member 2:
Tell me about SBI.
Which is the bank recently merged with SBI.
Member 3:
As my father is working i BSNL, he asked every thing related to that. It was totally
unexpected.
What is the price of 3G mobile. I said its around 15K. Again he crossed isnt that now decreased?? I replied yes now mobile prices are going down.
Then what is the difference between CDMA and GSM mobiles??
Why BSNL has age old officers at the office works and customer service while private networks has youngsters???
I actually didnt know the answer but I replied that some years before the situation was like that but now they are recruiting youngsters also.
Three panel members asked me three set of questions..
one from you hobbies in bio data form..
one of them asked me what is introspection and whether I have done it on myself.
Other questions were most general, regarding previous employments if any and also few questions like "what will you do if you get a good opportunity somewhere else after joining here..?"
Dont forget to greet the panel members while entry and exit..
