did anyone gave sbi clerical interview on 8th December?
if yes please reply me.
present basic rate?
sir mere b.tech me 58.72% hai jo ki ek worst scenario hai now if they ask me about this what should i tell them.reality ye hai ki main mature nahi tha 12 k baad ghar waalo ne bola ki jo pasand ho wo kr lo to maine apne frnds wgairah aur kuch seniors ko dekh k b.tech kar li.but ye answer inappropriate lag raha hai to unhe kya answer du??
Dear Ritesh,there is nothing to feel guilty here.Any recruitment agency asks you to pass the competitive exam and possess minimum qualification prescribed.So You passed the Engg. that is more than enough.But if you feel some embarrassment to say that percentage.Then do one thing! tell them about this,and if they ask you why this much less, then say “Sir,I want to join in your organization for my bright career,I beg to differ with you,but i think my qualification is nothing to do with a bank job I want.and I want to improve myself in all aspects related to banking and work for the accomplishment of organizational objectives”.And tell them one more thing,sir Banking is a sector of futuristic growth and recently our PM sir started “Jan dhan yojana” for better financial inclusion,so I want to be part of it.Finally I want to tell you one thing,in interview we should open up ourself and speak confidently,they expect us to be bold and honest.So tall the best for your future endeavours.
hai santhosh, i did my B.E in mechanical(2010), and M.Tech in polymer(2012) for the past 2 years i have prepared for upsc-csat but failed to clear the cut off both times. I have cleared IBPS PO IV this time, what could i can say in interview if they ask me
a) why do u want to join banking after doing m.tech in polymer?
b) what did u do for the past 2 years?
please guide how to answer this type of questions.
Dear Arun I can say one thing you should be bold enough to face any question in the interview.You should not prepare anything for it.You should present yourself as you are in front of interviewers,otherwise artificial look will automatically comes into scene.And yes your doubt is not a weird one.You must reveal your experience with CSAT without any hesitation.I will give you some sample questionnaire.
1)If they ask why you could not qualify for Mains—ans: Sir despite my efforts I have some loopholes in preparation otherwise I would have at least qualify for mains.
2)will you write CSE again?,if so its a waste attempt to come into banking field.
ans:Sir either banking or any govt. sector opportunity means serving my country and society only,so i want to do it.I think as a bureaucrat if i do 80% service then at least i can do 50% service as a Bank PO to the society.So even if I write CSE once again,in broad prospective it will be good for me and my country either i may select or not.But I think hoping best is not a sin.
3)why you are choosing Banking sector despite your background
Ans: Sir Banking is one of the sought after jobs in present scenario,and financial inclusion is the dream of our govt. as a citizen i am aspiring to give my best in this regard.so Sir I want to grasp the better opportunity which i deserve in the options i have,and will try to fit myself into it asap,and deliver my bet.
4)question about past two years
Ans: friend I hope you must think about this on your own,If i were at your place then i could say “Sir from the past two years i have been preparing for Civil services exams,though i failed twice i got good conceptual understanding of various things and get rid of objectivity in some issues.I have developed rational attitude in most of the cases which i have studied and analysed in this course.So I think I have learnt something and can be utilized in my journey as an employee with you.
Like this you can answer…I hope your queries were answered.Thank you
thank you very much for your valuable guide santhosh, i hope i am ready to face the interview.
