Hello friends!

Since I gain from your experience, I would like you to gain from mine 😃

Inverview experience + Some important tips (in last)

Total time- 15-20 mins.

5 panel members- (M1 M3 M4,M5, M3 is the "king" in center)

I am Engineerman, salman ka fan

M3 reminded me of chacha choudhary, so I introduced myself with a genuine smile.

M2- Introduction and profile based questions (my profile is an odd apple). Took about 4-5 mins.

M1- basic questions- NPA, repo rate (definition and value), number of PSBs

Till this point my interview was average.I was expecting NIA act, loan, derivatives, debentures, futures, forwards type questions. At least it would have given me a chance to shine, else I would have said with smile "I am sorry, I don't know :)"

M2- Can you tell something about bank culture in America

Me- I praised it just enough to irk the "Lion king" of that panel, M3.

(Whoops, I plucked whiskers of their king, else Lion wouldn't have spoken so soon. mazak mazak main bulldozer ke niche aa gaya 😐 )

M3- (roared in his clear and audible tone with normal expression but palpable serious intention) Mr.X, you told that they are better trained in xyz, but it is their ass which got burnt in 2008 sub-prime crisis while ours is still smooth and shining in all its glory, like kohinoor

Me- I answered why their ass got burnt and not ours, and mentioned how our lovable genius RBI Governor Raghu bhai warned them to wear bullet proof knickers, but they didn't listen, and now they bear the ever itchy stamp of 2008 sub-prime crisis on their ass cheeks. Each time they feel pain, they remember genius Raghu bhai's warning about risks and think "kaash baat main li hoti".

M3- He asked why Indians were not affected much in 2008 sub-prime crisis.

Me- answered

This is the only 'wow' moment in my interview, because 'irked king' turned happy. Looks like i ticked their funny bone, because all 4 had big smile. 1 Panel member gave me thumbs-up and he also wished me "have a nice day" in end too. M5 was still silent- hamara bajaj, akela jahaaj.

I read about 2008 sub-prime crisis few days ago, not for interview but for some other purpose, which is coming near.

Jaako rakhe saiyan, maar sake na koye!! 😃

M4- What is the logo on bottom-right of debit/credit card'

M4- Why we use them only

Me- By mistake I called it 'banking channel', I think they are payment gateways.

M2- question on RuPay

After that, vibe in hall changed. We talked a little about urban and rural banking conditions in India as compared to other countries in brief.

M2- If we hire you then can you bring xyz change in banking. I think he was making fun of me. Anyways, I said "ayee sirr !!"

My tips (it is my personal opinion not the best opinion):

Let's call candidate/candidates as C.

I think that they check C's sensitivity to general but important issues too, maybe because C scored heavily in GA by mugging spoon fed information from coaching, magazines or e-capsules.

Many have said that being confident and calm matters most. But, it only holds importance when you are prepared to a certain extent. If we puke with confidence, it will not shine like rainbow and smell like rose. So be prepared, if this exam is your top priority.

If panel sense that this exam is not important for you, you may get low marks, or worse, you will fail by 2-4 marks. If they sense that you are too confident and this exam is not important to you because it is a back up, then also same consequences may follow. Many more reasons are there.

Based on what I have read in most interviews and seen in mine, there is a part about definition and another about application. Second part matters more and generally asked as follow up questions, after first part.

(Candidate is C) If you have failed in previous interview, then rewind and analyze again and again. If you are good or/and scored good marks, then why only you were separated? What if there was a trap to get answer out of you without letting you know?

For example (real situation), when asked about how your engineering (computer, electronics) degree will be helpful to us, almost always C try to justify it by emphasizing computer skills. Tadaaa, Booyah !! Bank has IT officers for that job. C just stepped on land mine. Panel will smile and enjoy this moment because almost whole battalian did same before C, and Panel will not let C know. Poor C is confident and thinks"hmm, panel smiled and looks convinced". By trying to justify it, C is telling them that C doesn't know what job PO is about. They will notice that C is bluffing. Worse, C may sound like "allah ke naam pe dede baba, main kuch bhi karunga :(".

They do like computer skills to tackle minor problems, so officer won't need to call technician every time, which halts work. But, it doesn't give engineer upper hand.

Now, C may be asked about duties of PO as followup question or C may be asked to try for IT officer exam if C emphasizes his/her computer skills too much. Let's say C gave impressive answer to what are duties of PO. Ding ding ding! Innocent C stepped on landmine again. If C knows about duties of PO then why C lied about how his/her computer skills will give him/her upper hand. This has happened for real, multiple times.

Don't try to justify by saying engineering makes you creative, ready for any challenges etc., unless you can prove. Whole army before you will make similar claims, because that's natural. Firstly, they might think that "so, is C successful in his/her own field?". If yes, then bingo! If not, then booyah! Secondly, they might ask that, what makes C think that he/she can do better than those who have done Bcom, Mcom, mba etc.? I am not speculating, because this has already happened.

I just gave an example in which we make mistake without realizing. There are many cases. Post has already become gigantic 😉

Bring semester-wise marksheets and its photocopy, which is not mentioned in Call letter. Avoid hassle of tutu-meme.

Try to interact with others as it lifts spirit and confidence to levels you will not believe. Talk to those who are interested.

Don't beat around the bush in answers, it gives negative impression.

Rather than asking for permission to guess answer one can start with "I believe, I think, I am not sure but I think, create better phrase :)". By this, you have made it clear that "mister! me not bluffing".

Be confident about your life. Everybody goes through a time when their knicker had holes. You didn't? :?

In my opinion, we don't need to maintain smile all the time. We are not a joker in circus. One can definitely crack a joke or two, if interview is going good. Barack Obama also kept mood light in serious speech with tidbits "chai pe charcha" "PM Modi's fashion sense exceeds first lady Michelle's". Although, avoid expression which shows anger/frustration.

If interview takes bad turn, tell them where you put efforts and how much. If you have not put any effort then kindly accept what was already coming.

Thank you for reading.

All the best, not just for this, but for further endeavours! 😃

After interview what could b d expected date of final list to be declared.??

I was the first one to be interviewed today in the morning session. There were 5 persons in the panel (4 male and one female). Everyone was frowning and not smiling at all, except for the lady. Also, all of them were asking questions, unlike other panels where one is silent observer.

MY INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE:

UNITED BANK OF INDIA KOLKATA HEADQUARTER

22ND JANUARY PANEL 5

after document verification , we were called for the interview. as i entered , i was a bit shaky but they made me comfortable within a minute. there were 6 panel members ..all serene and composed. that let me made myself attain the peace of mind from the shaky entrance. they asked about my college and the city where i did my college from. 

I am a  mechanical engineer , so it was an obvious question to be asked wy banking? i replied in full confidence, whatever came into my mind and in the thought process

they asked me some banking terms which i was not able to answer, so one member from the panel enquired if i had come prepared for the interview or was just a day out. 

they asked about NITI ayaog.

they asked about my home town, threw a puzzle which i by grace of god solved as i was really in the peace of mind.

they asked about world bank, its chief , chief economic advisor, share market ,which i answered by what i knew of it . 

overall it was an enriching experience and i loved the way panel members conducted the interview. i hope this short experience helps.

P.S : i had not really gone prepared and took interview as a challenge, i could really express myself well and i was satisfied with the way i conducted myself withought getting nervous and saying whatever i had in my mind.

Friends, any one here preparing for NABARD have any idea about the test date? Past year papers link?
