SBI PO 2015 Preparation & Discussion

does anybody have an idea about the breakup of general category students among 5600 students called for interview and what could be the number of students who have given the interview as in every batch almost 1 or 2 students were absent

Some airplanes are helicopters. All helicopters are gliders. All gliders are kites. All kites are balloons.

conclusions:

1. At least some helicopters are balloons.

2. All kites are airplanes.

3. All balloons are not gliders.

4. All helicopters being kite is a possibility.

What is the date for last GD/PI round ???

Going by the number of vacancies, i assume competition would be between same category.

So, general vacancies- 812

General candidates selected- 812X2.5 = 2030

how many candidates were shortlisted for gd/pi in sbi po 2014?

Guys,please enlighten me about online stock trading.It's not about exam but I would like to know about it and practice it in near future. What's the risk,the minimum amount I should invest,which investment is safe and better for a starter e.g.mutual fund,etc? Recently people started engaging themselves in this investment in my small town. It's new here I would say.  Is it better in terms of saving compared to savings account? Please let me know the details. By the way,I am not a bank aspirant and I don't have knowledge about it. 

So finally here is the final cut off ( objective + Descriptive +GD + PI)  = 58.7 out of 100 ( If the objective test cut off is 90) 

60.35 out of 100 ( If the objective test cut off is 95)

Hope this will solve all your problems and excitement.  Hope you know where you stand.

I feel this year cut off is 90 as 95 is highly unlikely...being 96 attempted guy has also cleared sbi mains. 

Welcome in Advance ;) 

okay i know am late !!

GDPI LUCKNOW 18 september panel 1 11am !!

GD Topic- economic problems facing indian economy !!

damn people were so aggressive the board gave us instructions  clearly that you'll be given 2 minutes to speak and then 1 more minute to speak in 2nd round, no one can interrupt and anyone can start !!

we were given 3 minutes,i was sitting just next to the board panel, the pen they provided wasnt working when i wanted to note down the topic, 2 of the board members gave me their pencil 😂 luckily i had an extra pen !!

so finally GD started, babe-koof log the yaar, the girl who started spoke continuous for 2.5 minutes or even more, panel had to stop her in between, again the same thing, 2nd girl did the same,she had to be stopped,3rd guy also did the same, i spoke 6th or 7th, all the points CAD,Fiscal Deficit,NPA was already raised, social points were also used which are directly or indirectly related to the economy like unemployment !!

I spoke for around 1 minute 50 seconds i guess, i ended before 2 minutes cause i was noticing the panel member, one of them was not even looking up and just noticing the time in his stop watch, babe-koof even raised the point that "RESERVATION should be banned in GD" I was like yaar kaha se aye ho tumlog :P 

there was a girl who knew all the data of unemployment, deficit etc(good thing) but she didnt utilised all her time, she raised one point and went on explaining, wasted her time in it, she was again made to stop !!

second round me there was a guy who had already spoken for 1 minute still he was trying to contradict me but was stopped by panel members !! one of them raised UPA and Modi government point(political) ,again i was like kyun barbaad kr rhe ho GD yaar !!

i had raised some points like HDI which covers many things,judicial system slow, unemployment, so digital india strictly needs educated people, that is a problem, even after so many plans we are considered poor, i even raised a point of University ranking in which india is nowhere, this is very much indirectly related to economic problem !!

second round i spoke positive, that india has sufficient forex, we even are strong to surpass the federal reserve rate hike as said by rajan, and even that india has a ray of hope even after depreciation of its currency we are competing at world level !!

PI 4 male, 1 female, she was from south india !!

chairperson started in hindi(dont know why)

"education kaha se kiya aapne?"

sir i did my 10th from deoria 12th from lucknow and graduation from varanasi, am basically from deoria

again in hindi- "so commerce se graduation kiya?"

haan sir..ab maine bhi hindi me bol diya !!

he said pass out last year ka hai uske baad se kya kr rhe, i said sir banking ki preparation,he said koi aur form nahi apply kiya?

i said sir is saal krna tha but kar nai paya !! he said okay !!

what is the difference between private and public ltd company !!

i spoke 2 points, he said aur? i said sir aur nai yaad !!

then he asked something that i dont remember, i said sorry sir padha hai but yaad nai, he said aap to commerce se ho padha hoga, i again said same thing, padha hai but abhi yaad nai a rha !!

he passed on to mam !!

mam : you said indian universities are not performing well can you relate it to the indian economy?

i explained - indian universities are not focusing on innovations and entrepreneurial institutes, students are future of economy and they are dependent on universities and so and so she said demographic dividend, i explained, she said what is dividend in it? (ab ye kya toofaani question tha, aise to socha hi nai tha) i tried to explain that more working age group so better contribution to economy she said aisa to har country me hota hai,usme alag kya hai i said india has max population in youth and etc, not completely satisfied !!

then next person- maharatna companies, i said BHEL, he said couple more, i said ONGC, HAL(this is not maharatna), coal india limited he said how many i said 9(pta nai kya dimaag me aya), he said with these examples can you co relate the core sector of economy i said cement cement, crude, coal,he said steel i said yes steel too !!

you said about forex ,so what are they?i said foreign exahange, he said in what? i said dollar mostly, he said how does it come? i said FII and FDI,he said and? i said currency swap aggrements between 2 Central Banks of a country like it was with sri lanka recently !!

he said how much does india has ?

i said sir am not sure but its around 300 billion dollars(actually it is 358)

then next person- so what are tangible and intangible assets?

i explained and he asked for examples i gave him !!

he said land depreciates? (now in commerce terms it doesnt) i said yes, but didnt gave example that in us crisis it happened, he said are you sure? with smiling face, i said yes sir !! (fu** this thing went blunder, i was so confident it was like he's asking my name :sad: )

last person asked what are the neighbouring countries of india?

i said nepal pakistan,sri lanka bhutan, bangaladesh !!

okay thank you !! wished mam and sir and came out !!

it was revolving around commerce(which is not at all a strong section for me) and my GD points !!

before me, no one was asked anything related to GD topic, everyone was asked about South china sea, and us elections and blah blah !!

i dont know why it was so different for me, i couldnt answer some of them but didnt said anything wrong(knowingly bewakoof banane ka try nai kiya, ek to completely galat bol diya) !!

anyways no predictions, preparing for IBPS now, and hoping for a good result !!

whats the ratio for final selection ? 80:20 or75:25?
