Below is the SBI PO 2016 Interview Experience of GradeUp user.

Hello frndz,

Sharing my SBI PO GD- INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE 2016

Timing: 12.00 Noon, 02.09.16

Venue: Chennai

SBI Interview Review:-
Reach the venue on time
4 copies of biodata form and one set of self attested photocopies of required documents
Take original documents as well
Note:- Take 12th pass certificate too as it is not mentioned in the enclosure list but they were asking for it.
Those students who did not have all documents or photocopies were sent back to arrange those in 15 min
Pray to GOD that your biometric fingerprint gets verified by the machine. Few candidates had problem as the machine was not able to verify their fingerprints(they might have placed the thumb inappropriately). They were telling that we can’t help in this….if machine doesn’t verify your fingerprints then we can’t allow you to attend the interview.

I don’t know what happened with those few candidates as my panel was taken for GD round.
A general GD topic was given.
Try to convey some points in the GD.
The GD panel was very cooperative.
One more GD exercise was given to us….not to worry about it….just have fun while GD and don’t involve in aggressive talks with other candidates….be calm.

Then interview round begin. Panel personnel were outsiders and not SBI employees(a guy working in SBI told us). I was asked questions from my graduation subject. Some candidates were asked current affairs and Static Gk too. A few banking questions were also asked.

Overall experience: Good…..just be yourself and read a few things related to your graduation subject as well.
All the best to everyone.
Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

BOB Manipal PO 2016 Exam is round the corner and hope you all are well prepared to crack this one. This exam is similar to every other banking exam and has four sections followed by a descriptive test:

Quantitative Aptitude
Reasoning
English Language
General Awareness
Descriptive Test

Hope you all know the pattern of the exam but here we are providing you the exam pattern once again to make sure that you don’t have any kind of doubt regarding the same.

Many of the students find it tough to score in Quantitative Aptitude section but proper idea about the questions can help a lot to get through with this section.As we can see that all the sections carry equal weightage and the level of exams is increasing so it becomes essential to score good in all the sections. This can become a bit easier if we know the expected questions from each of the topics beforehand.

Here is the analysis of previous year’s Quant section of BOB Manipal PO Exam.

Data Interpretation – 20 Questions
Data Sufficiency – 5 Questions
Quadratic Equations – 5 Questions
Approximation – 5 Questions
Series – 5 Questions
Miscellaneous – 10 Questions

So let us see the type of questions that are asked from these topics:

1.Data Interpretation – This is one of the parts of Quant section which needs proper time. The most important thing that one should realise is that these questions are in the paper to check our observation and calculation both. Firstly, look at the data carefully, understand the small specifications and then look at the type of questions asked and It can be done within a minute. Now we have an idea of the complete data and the related questions so now it’s the time for some calculations.

So we can say that a set of data interpretation questions are basically the normal questions using the huge amount of data given in the form of pie chart/ bar chart/ line chart/ tabular form etc.

Directions: Study the following table carefully and answer the questions given below:

The number of persons visiting six different temples and percentage of Men, Women and Children visiting those temples.

Q.The number of men visiting Temples S approximately what per cent of the total number of person visiting all the temples together?

8%
12%
5%
15%
None of these

Solution:

Total number of men visiting Temples S

= (56800*45)/100 = 25560

Total number of person visiting all the temples

= (34500+72500+45600+56800+42500+64600) = 316500

Required percentage = (25560*100)/316500 = 8%

Q.What is the average of women visiting all the Temples together?

25692
25212
25292
22292
None of these

Solution:

Total number of women visiting all the Temples

(34500*55)/100 + (72500*45)/100 + (45600*42)/100 + (56800*28)/100 + (42500*65)/100 + (64600*58)/100

= (18975+32625+19152+15904+27625+37468) = 151749

Required average = 151749/6 = 25291.5 = 25292

2.Data Sufficiency – In these questions, we have to check whether the given statements can give us the answer for the question or not.

Q.What is the present ratio of the total number of Male to the total number of Female in a bank?

I. There are 4500 employees in the bank, out of which 30% are Female.

II. The ratio of the total number of Female to the total number of Male last year was 5 : 7.

1. If the data in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

2. If the data in both the statement I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

3. If either of the data in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.

4. If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

5. If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

Solution:

Only statement I is sufficient but II is not sufficient.

3.Quadratic Equation – The questions from this topic consist of a single variety of questions generally. One quadratic equation in variable x and another quadratic equation in variable y is given. We have to solve the equations individually to find out the value of x and y both. After finding the values, we have to choose one option out of given options which consist of relation between both variables i.e.

x>y,

y>x,

x≥y,

y≥x

x=y or relation can’t be established.

Q. Find out the relation between x and y.

I.x² -23x + 132 = 0
II.y² – 25y +84 = 0

Solution:

x2 –(11x+12x)+ (11*12) = 0

x2 -11x-12x+ (11*12) = 0

x(x-11) -12(x-11) = 0

(x-11)(x-12) = 0

x= 11 and 12

y2 – (21y+4y)+(21*4) = 0

y2 – 21y – 4y + (21*4) = 0

y(y-21) – 4(y-21) = 0

(y-21)(y-4) = 0

y = 4 and 21

As we can see that one value of y is less than both values of x and another value of y is more than both values of x. So no relation can be established between x and y.

4.Approximation – Simplification means to find out a final answer for a complex calculation.

Simplification questions are asked to check the ability of a student to deal with numbers.

Direction: What approximate value should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following question? (You are not expected to calculate the exact value)

Q.21.003 × 39.998 – 209.91 = 126 × ?

Solution:

Take nearest values

21.003 × 39.998 – 209.91 = 126 × ?

630 = 126 × ?

? = 5 (approx)

Q. 1440.0003 ÷ 23.999 × 2.5 × 3 = ?

Solution:

Take nearest values

1440.0003 ÷ 23.999 × 2.5 × 3 = ?

60 × 2.5 × 3 = 450 (approx)

5. Number Series – As the name suggests that we have numbers which are written in a sequence thus making a ‘Number Series’. These numbers are written in a sequence because they follow a specific pattern. So we have to observe the pattern.

Generally two types of questions can be asked from number series:

Sometimes, a series is given and one of the numbers is missing from the series. To find out the missing number, we have to observe the pattern followed by given numbers in series. This pattern is followed by the missing number as well which helps us in identifying the missing number.

Q.Find out the missing number: 1, 3, 9, 31 , ? , 651

Solution:

1*1+2 = 3

3*2+3 = 9

9*3+4 = 31

31*4+5 = 129

129*5+6 = 651

Sometimes all the numbers of the series are given but one of the numbers doesn’t follow the pattern followed by rest of the numbers of the series. So we have to identify the pattern to eliminate inappropriate/wrong number in the series.

Q.Find out the wrong number in the series: 26, 37, 50, 63, 82

Solution:

5²+1 = 25+1 = 26

6²+1 = 36+1 = 37

7²+1 = 49+1 = 50

8²+1 = 64+1 = 65

9²+1 = 81+1 = 82

As we can see that number 63 in the series doesn’t follow the pattern followed by other numbers. So this is the wrong number in the series and it will be our answer for this question.

6. Miscellaneous – This part of Quantitative Aptitude section has a variety of questions from various topics. So students must be well aware of the basic concepts of each of the topics given below:

Work & Time
Speed, Time & Distance (Problem on trains, boats & streams)
Simple & Compound Interest
Profit & Loss
Ratio & Proportion (Problems on Partnership, Ages)
Permutation & Combination
Probability
Percentage & Averages
Mixture & Allegations

Q.Mr. A and Mrs. B have two sons P and Q and a daughter R. R is the youngest among the three children. Mrs. B is five years younger than Mr. A. The ages of the children form an Arithmetic Progression whose common difference is 1. The sum of the ages of the male members is 92 while that of the female members of the family is 67. What is the sum of the ages of Mr. A and Mrs. B?

Solution:

Let age of children be a-1, a, a+1

==> a-1 + B = 67 (ages of females)

==> 2a + 1 + A = 92 (ages of males)

also, A = B+5 (A is 5 yrs older than B)

Solving ==> B = 50, A = 55, A+B = 105
