BOB Manipal 2014 - Interview Experience




Hello Readers,
Here sharing with you all an Interview Experience of "Devashish Ghosh". Hope you guys found it useful!!


Dear viewers ... Today i would like to share my experience of BOB interview which was held on 11th September 2014.

As this website helped me a lot with interview experiences I would also like to help few who are eagerly working towards getting a job in bank.

My GD was started at 10:05 AM after the docs verification.

There were 13 candidates in my group. The topic was "ARE TV CHANNELS FOOLING US BY MEANS OF TV SHOWS?"

We were given 2 minutes to think and jot it down on paper. Then each candidate was given 2 minutes to speak individually (Extempore) Then an open discussion was held for 10 minutes. Only 5 of us were talking. Rest of them were sitting quietly. Don't be that person. Speak, but do not fight. Be gentle and also listen very carefully to others and reply to them in a polite manner.

Then my interview was taken at 10:50 AM. There were 5 panelistleft to right lady- Lady - L1, Male1- M1, Male2(head)-M2, Male3-M3 and Male4 - M4

First of all, the head panelist started asking question -

M2 - You are from WB, so how come you are in UP?
Me - I told them about my fathers job and his transfer before my birth.

M2 - Why didn't you join sports like your father?
Me - Because I mentioned in the last answer that he was a sports person, so they asked me this.

M3 - What was your previous job?
Me - I was working in BEL on contract basis.

M2 - Why did u left it - even that was a PSU job?
Me - As it was on contract basis, so less salary and no job guarantee.

M1- What was your role in that job?
Me - Project management and execution.

M2 - How many total enrollments done in AADHAR?
Me - They asked this because I was in this project under BEL.

M3- What is disinvestment?
Me - Couldn't clarify completely, so picked up that days news on coal allocation disinvestment by CIL, NTPC, ONGC and the amount of disinvestment, and told them that I couldn't understand the real fact of disinvestment.

M1 - Which company recently bought shares in banks?
Me - Can't recall. They said LIC

L1 - What is retail banking?
Me - Told them

L1 - MSME?
Me - Told them

M1- What is cardless cash transaction system?
Me - Told them about ICICI bank news and also BOI news few months back.

M3- Explain the transaction procedure.
Me- By pin system - 6 digit and 4 digit.

M2 - Name 3 previous presidents of India...not including the current one.
Me - I was so stupid at this time that after naming APJ and Pratibha Patil, I took CV raman instead of Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan. They smiled at me. Then they asked me to think again.

All the questions were asked too fast, so I couldn't remember. All what I was thinking that how could I name CV raman here....he he...chillax...if this happens to u.

M3- Why you opted for B.Tech instead of B.Com?
Me- Tried my best to explain.

M2- Why is B.Tech better than other traits?
Me- Started bragging about field trainings and all.

M2- Hows your graduation helpful in banking?
Me- Analytical power and all stupid things, then again started talking about field training and many subjects to mug up.

M2- What is TEV? Something in technology.
Never heard of it. Completely denied for this question.

M2 said you are a B.Tech, you must be knowing it. I said no sir, sorry I can not remember.

Then they said thank you, u may leave now. Best of luck.

So that was my total interview experience. I am still forgetting 2 questions which were from current news. It was a rapid fire interview. All these questions were asked and answered in 10 minutes only.I was out in 11th minute. The girl waiting for her turn after me , even asked me didn't they asked you any question? I was surprised and also happy at that time that I didn't took the pressure of fast questions.

So friends, I would only suggest you not to mug up all the answers and try to be genuine if you dont recall or know the answer. They are just checking your patience, communication and a lil pressure testing.
