My interview experience
Disclaimer:This will be a lengthy post. Your patience will be tested.
I reached at my venue 1.5 hours early(considering the cons of traffic, personal vehicle + wanted to see RBI Building..hehe)
Not a pleasant atmosphere--candidates sat isolated, nobody was talking to anybody, only those who have remained friends or know each other were articulating. I tried to make some friends initially but in vain. Later on i scored 2 of them.
Reporting time was 1pm. They called us inside at 1:30. We were to sit in a hall. They gave us a handout for list of documents to be submitted and also the order for the same. To my surprise , marksheets of all semesters had to be submitted alongwith the final degree certificate(though it was mentioned that it is an OR provision). Biometric -- document verification---tea+1 biscuit---wait for your turn. This process took 2.5 hours although my turn came quite early.
Now, we went upstairs for our interview. A mam welcomed us, made us sit. Well, what i noticed -- she wrote something after each of our attendence sheet alongwith the present check. I dont know what she wrote. I became attentive considering--'your interview starts from the waiting room'. Grasped a newspaper. So naive of me. The bell rang and i was called for. I entered- asked their permission to come.
A lady(south indian), at the extreme right corner-a sir(pleasant and jolly personality), An aged one(with dark blue blazer),a faculty with simple attire at the extreme left and to his right a sir who was chewing tobacco.
Q-1- Aur mohit, bataiye apne baare me?-- I was waiting for this question since ages. Lol. Answered well. He was satisfied.
Q-2(from the same person)- What is capital adequacy ratio? (easy one) Answered to the point with some comprehensive data too.
Q-3 (tobacco sir)- What is artificial intelligence? -- i had read a complete magazine on it but to conglomerate the entire info and answer to them is the thing. Did it by taking a pause for 3-4 seconds.
Q-4 What is GDP?(come on , who doesn't know this)-- i answered it perfectly.
Q-5 Why do you want to join a bank? (from the aged sir)-- Didn't vomit out in a mugged up manner---took a pause for a second, answered in a well-oriented manner.
They looked happy.Also, the mam looked at all the members if they want to ask anything else but they all refused. She said- Thank you Mohit.
I wished them a good day ahead and left.
It lasted for 4-5 mins. The shortest i have ever heard. I don't know the hidden meaning behind it.
I enjoyed my interview, the premises of the venue and made 2 friends.
Some pointers: (this is my observation and my personal opinion)
1- Those who have admirable height, please don't ruin it by wearing low waist bottoms.
2- If you wanT to get selected, for god sake , atleast go clean shaved/well trimmed. Log aivaiyn aa gaye the kuchh toh.
3- Observe, interpret and act.
4- Remain calm. Its a cakewalk.
5- Blazer- do button it--looks complete.
6- Enjoy the process.
Best wishes to all my family members here.
