Last year SBI introduced a prioritisation based group exercise which is also being conducted this year in the Group Discussion Round. Interview experiences can help you get an insight of the difficulty level, environment and types of questions being asked in SBI PO 2017 Group Exercise and Interview Round. Keep on reading to understand the experience of Sunil Bathini.

My interview was on 8th September at Mumbai LHO panel 2 at 10 AM. After reaching the venue they conducted document verification which was followed by the start of Group Discussion. Documentation verification went smoothly talk to them politely things will go fine.

Each candidate spoke on the above-mentioned topic for few minutes after which the group came to a conclusion. Group Discussion can be a tensed situation for some, but with confidence and clarity of thought, one can easily score in this phase. It is important to maintain the decorum of the session and avoid being too loud. Put forth your views and opinions firmly best backed by figures or facts and also let your fellow group members voice their opinions.

Some people have good content but their behaviour is aggressive and use of harsh words will reduce your marks.
