Blazers/ Business suits are not necessary for bank interviews & we don’t recommend you to buy them just for this day.
If you are wearing a leather jacket to keep yourself warm, remove it before entering the interview room.You wouldn’t want to look like a gangster.

- Dupattas/ shawl is compulsory for salwars & must be properly pinned.
- Saree can also be worn but only if you feel comfortable in it.
- Do not opt for a saree if you haven’t tried it anytime before.
- Leggings & Jeans – A strict no.

- Heels can also be used but keep let it be medium.
Coming to your looks, here are some things that you need to care about,
- Tie your hair.Use clips or headband to keep them in place.
- Free hair is fine only if it doesn’t create a mess for you.
