Hello friends !! Today I would like to share my interview experience wid u all.
NAME – BRIJENDRA
DATE – 05/02/17
PLACE – BANK OF INDIA, STAFF TRAINING COLLEGE, B 32; SECTOR-62, NOIDA
TIME – 8:30 AM
PANEL – 3
I was a little bit late so reached the venue at 8:35. On the entry gate itself I found a big line comprising 25-30 candidates. After making entry I went to the conference hall where biometric verification had already started. I didn’t have to wait for long & my turn came and biometric verification went smoothly at 8:55. From there I was sent to the hostel building for document verification.
2 members were verifying the docs. This was my 3 rd interview and 2nd PO interview at this centre and he was the same sir who had checked my docs in the previous 2 intrvw . I recognized him although he didn’t. They were asking simple ques to the candidates just to increase their morale. He asked me what did I do till now as I was a 2012 pass out. I answered his ques . he told me to be cautious as the intrvwr might put up a ques. I thanked him. So the document verification also went smoothly, ended at 9:35.
My turn came around at 9.45 AM. I was 4th in the list. The co-ordinators told me to keep the doc file n phone in the bag n not to carry them in the intrvw room. Now i guessed that definitely there are gonna watch my steps from entry til exit. The bell rang. Here’s how it all went.
