SBI PO Interview Experience 2016

Dear Readers,

My interview was on 1st September’16 at 10.00 AM in SBI Patna Head Office. Document verification went very smoothly, then GD started. SBI GD had a surprised this year, one was GD and the other was prioritisation. There was open GD during the whole GD process. They allotted 5 min for jotting down the points that comes to your mind, then 20 min for discussion.

GD Topic- Is technology killing Human Imagination??

I was very happy after getting this topic because I was well prepared for this topic. I noted down number of points. It was the 1st GD of my life. My performance GD was average. I had so many points to speak. I got only two chances to present my points, but my point was unique. 

“mere paas to itne saare points the ki main to uspe aadhe ghante tak akela bolte reh jauu, lekin chance hi nhi milta tha”

Some people were very aggressive, they were not giving chance to other people to present their view By the way I really enjoyed the GD process. There were 2 members on the pannel who were observing us during the whole GD process.

Then coming to 2nd stage of GD that was- Prioritisation

One of the member from the SBI’s Pannel gave papers to all candidates, there were 9 problems written on the paper, and we had to prioritise on the basis of what is the main problem of India. 5 min were given for jotting down points and other 20 min for discussion.

The problems were:

Corruption

Population

Terrorism

Food production

External threat

Natural Disaster

Inflation

Poorness

There was one more issue in this list, I cannot recall the 9th problem they gave.The instructions were: you have to present the reason of prioritization, why you have prioritize this problem as 1st problem of India, and why that problem as 2nd. 

That’s It.

GD process was completed at 12:30 PM. There were 10 people in a group. Interview was taken according to serial number. My chances came at 4:15 PM. Duration of interview was 12-15 minute.

Now coming to the INTERVIEW PROCESS

There was a pannel of 5 members, 4 male and 1 female. I was waiting for my turn, feeling myself a little bit nervous, I tried to control my nervousness, and took two deep breath, all my nervousness went away.
