Bank of Baroda PO 2017 GD and Interview Experience 8

Dear Readers,

My name is: Amit Kumar Singh

My GD/PI was on 10th July, 2017 at Baroda House, Lucknow at 9:30 AM. On that day, it was raining heavy. So, one of my friend booked a cab for me. It was my first GD/PI in any public-sector bank, but I was very excited to give my GD/PI. I wore black coat, black pant, white shirt and black tie. I thanked to god, my parents, friends and teachers. Before entering, i touched the feet of Baroda House. First process is document verification. After that, i allotted serial N.O. 12. I was in second group. There were 8 students in each group. I was really amazed after knowing that 2 students were absent in each group.

At 11:30 AM, one of the madam instructed us to stand by serial No. wise. Then we entered into GD room.  The topic given to us was: ” Is it ethical for doctors to go for a strike or not”. They gave 2 minutes to write. After that they rang a bell, I initiate the GD. I discussed with groups, not with panel. Though it was difficult to address the group because everyone was sitting in a straight line. I discussed both advantages & disadvantages. I listened very carefully what others said about the topic. At the end, I gave conclusion and said thank you to panel. Then, everyone said thank you and asked us to proceed and leave the GD room. I was satisfied with GD. Some senior students said that you rock the GD and surely you will get the highest marks among all, probably 45marks out of 50. 

Then time came for PI. My PI is as follows:

Me: Please may I come in?

F2: yes please.

I forget to say good morning. Chairman say please have a seat. I say thank you sir. But after I sat, I immediately said good morning maam, good morning sir.

F1: tell me something about yourself?

I answered.

F2: what is banking?
