Chennai..10 am batch...done..!!

GDPI experience: Venue: SBI learning centre Date and time: 02/09/2016 10:00 am.. Somehow got stuck in traffic due to rain and entered the venue exactly at 10:00 am..but many arrived late even one candidate.came at only 10:30 ...still they allowed him.. First was the document verification..which went smoothly..they took an affidavit declaration from me for discharge certificate to be submitted at the time of joining from my current employer.. The whole process took only 10-15 mins..for me..and it was completed by 11:00 for my batch of 10 candidates (8 boys and 2 girls).. Then they alloted number from 1-10 for each candidate and they gave id card for each one denoting their number like they give in prison:p Then we were called for GD..The panel comprused of 2 male..GD comprises of two rounds..1. Open discussion 2. Prioritisation.. Everyone were given notepad and pen.. 1. Open discussion Topic was ..TV reality shows involving children ruin their childhoid We were given five mins to prepare..and discussion started..panel members said that they will nevet interupt the discussion whether u are speaking right or wrong..but somehow you should come to a convergence witjin 20 mins or else after time's up..gd will be stopped .even.no convergence arrived..we started discussion every one of us were decent but two of the candidates were kind of debated..which panel.members noted but they never interupted...after twenty mins they stopped.. To be continued...

Now..round two.. They gave printouts to everyone.. Topic was In what way FDI is benificial to indian economy. . 1. High payscale 2. Transfer of best practices 3. More job opportunities 4. Technological advancement 5. GDP growth 6. More govt revenue 7. More software parks 8. forgot Two columns were there..one is individual rating and other was group rating.. Before the discussion starts..we need to fill the individual rating from 1 to 8..fiv mins will be given for that..after that discussion will start..we shoul try to convince the group with our priority..by discussing the pros and cons of all points..at the end of discussion the group as a whole should arrive at a common priority please note..even it is not your priority..the group should arrive at a common rating...in this wat they test your team coordination and acceptance of facts...at the end of discussion u will be asked to tare the form you filled...so friends dont be afraid..fill up whatever priority u have in your mind and try to convince the group with your points..but at the end of the dicussion...make the group to accept a common priority...thats the main aim of the panel..if a common priority is not arrived within twenty mins..panel will stop the discussion there..and it will affect the marka of your entire batch...I didnt know all these when I went today..but thought sharing this might help you...so prepare yourself... To be continued. .

As promised, sharing my experience


Centre – Chennai

Timing – 12.00 Noon, 02.09.16

Panel – I

So, I reached the centre just 10 mins before at 11.50 A.M sharp, as I was fully aware of the location.

After reaching called my mom and took her wishes and then straightaway entered inside. As I was entering, on the gate itself they spotted me and asked if I was from Panel –I or II and was directed to wait  before they call me for Bio-metric frisking, Within one min I was called and asked to go for frisking, it was over within 2 minutes. After that Document verification happened. It went smooth and finished it within 12 minutes. So by 12.30 I was free from all the initial process.

And now the real agony starts.

They made us wait for two long hours before giving us Canteen meal Coupon to have lunch. And said GD will start ri8 after Lunch. We all went towards Canteen had lunch and came back. Again waited for like an hour when one person came and said these are the no. you will be having for Group discussion. After waiting for half an hour we were told that now GD gonna start and one guy lead us to GD room where two guys – panellists were waiting in the room. So we entered Chairs were arranged in semi-circular manner with panellists in middle. No. badges were already there on the respective chairs. Brief Introduction from panellists and told us to introduce ourselves as well. Group discussion started after a short brief on the process. Initial 5 mins for thinking and writing your points after which house was open for healthy discussion. GD topic –Elections are an exercise of Money, not democracy. It went smooth every one pitched in and consensus was reached.

After that Prioritisation, Initial 5 minutes to mark your priorities and then discussion on each priority starting form 1st. Group was supposed to reach on consensus and then moved to next priority but we kept discussing on first priority itself for 10 mins for which panellists interrupted and asked to tell our first priorities and to move on to the next one. 

So this was for Group Discussion which lasted for around 1 hour. And then Panellists wished good luck for interview and told us to leave the room.

At 4.00 we were again free and was waiting for interview to start. As there was only interview panel, we waited one more hour which was taking interview for 10.00 am batch. At 5.00 P.M our group’ s turn came every one according to their no. was called. My turn came at 6.15 P.M and lasted for around 12 mins.

Entered and greeted every one.

One of the member said so you are from north can we speak in Hindi to which I said I am comfortable in Hindi and English both.
