Interview Venue: SBI LHO Mumbai

Date of Interview: 13th September, 2017

Reporting Time: 8 AM

After a smooth document verification process, we headed to the conference hall for our GDs. After a session of introduction of the moderators and candidates, we were given the topic

GD Topic- "Is social networking good or bad for the Indian society."

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.

Group Exercise - What is the most important quality one should have in his life?

We were given to 8 points to prioritize. Group Exercise is performed after the discussion. In this group, exercise candidates were given a set of few qualities/ attributes/ traits/ parameters which they had to prioritize according to their understanding of the topic/ situation/ thinking ability.

There was two ranking box given for individual and group ranking, individual ranking we have to mark in individual boxes, for which they gave 5 minutes to think and then after discussion whatever the ranking, the group consensus arrives at, that needed to be mark in group boxes.

Honesty
Truthfulness
Openness
Adaptability
Flexibility
Adjusting
Caring
Integrity

There were 2 points more. I can't recall them right now.

What are the difficulties which a person face while doing digital banking?

I was expecting questions from my hobby, Extra curricular activities,daily newspaper but they were absent. My personal suggestion is that, don't expect any questions to come in PI, any question can come and many important questions can be left out. So be prepared for every situation

My Group discussion and GE went great, I was the initiator in GD and we reached the consensus in Group Exercise. My Interview went okay as couldn't guess the interview criteria of the interviewers.
All the best to everyone, hoping for a positive response...

Thanks,
Rajat Jain
