Jaadu says hello to all
Well this was my first interview and GD for a bank and I must say that it was a wonderful experience. so this is how it all started.
15th July; Baroda house; Lucknow; panel 1.
document verification was the easiest part of all.
GD topic-“Should nationalized banks have minimum balance requirements” as it was a topic that has been in news every now and then, all the candidates did well. 20 minutes were given and no conclusion time was allotted so it ended abruptly without a proper conclusion. all I said was about financial inclusion; farmers below BPL and customer base that will get divided if minimum balance will be made imperative in banks.
Now here started the toughest part. The PI.
A panel of 4 members. 2 males and 2 females.
I entered the room and was just about to get accustomed,

M1 (probably DGM) – Aap ne 12th 2009 me kiya hai..

M1-oh m sorry.
Then he gave me 12th mark sheet.
I missed environment education as a subject. I said sorry sir it’s been a long time.
F2 to M1-this subject has been added recently. ( I guess she was trying to defend me. May be, may be not.)
M1-you have done civil engineering toh batao agar Gomti se metro nikalni hogi kaise nikaloge?
Me-(as I was extremely good in civil with 10 backs altogether)-sir sabse pehle river ki depth naapenge us area me. fir soil analysis krenge ki soil structure ko hold kr payengi ya nai.. fir columns place krenge jispe girder rakhe jayenge aur metro uspe chalegi..
