Hello friends, I am Arzoo Anjum Mansury. I am sharing with you my SBI PO interview experience which was held on 9th Sep 2017.
Time: 12:00 pm
Venue: SBI LHO, JAIPUR

I reached the venue at 11:45am. There were eight candidates in my group. We were called for biometric verification. After that, we were asked to assemble in the conference hall. Then document verification was done and everything went on smoothly. We were all given serial numbers and my number was second. We were taken to another room for group discussion on the third floor. There were two senior retired SBI bankers. They introduced themselves and explained to us all the rules of GD.

GD topic was: “CAN INDIA BECOME A DEVELOPED NATION IF DEMOCRACY IS REPLACED BY SOME OTHER FORM OF GOVT”.

We were given 5 mins to collect our thoughts and then 20 mins to discuss. The discussion went on smoothly and we reached a consensus. The second round of prioritization (group exercise) was held next and we had to rank the priorities.

The topic for GE was: “AS A PARENT WHAT ATTRIBUTES I WANT MY CHILD TO POSSESS”.

There were 8 qualities given and we had to prioritize them and reach a consensus. After this round, we were taken to another hall for the personal interview.

As my number was 2 so I was called in at second place. There were 3 Males and 1 Female. I took permission to enter and wished all of them.
