IBPS PO V Interview Experience – Dheeraj – Hyderabad

Hello EP family. I’ve been following this website for past 8
months and when I started preparing for banking exams, exampundit.in has been
immense help.

I’m here to share my IBPS PO V interview experience.

Name  : DHEERAJ

Disqus id  : Đђєєгคנ

Venue  : Andhra Apex
College, Gachibowli, Hyderabad.

Date  : 29/01/16

Panel  : VII

Time  : 8 30am

Category  : General.

Part 1 : I reached the venue by 8 20am and we were all
called to seminar hall where we asked to recheck all the documents and get
ready for Bio metric verification. One person’s bio metric wasn’t verified so
they asked him to wash his hands twice and come.

By then my name was called and my biometric verification was
done smoothly.

Later we were asked to move to another building where
document verification and interviews were happening.

Although i gave them Birth certificate as proof, they
insisted on 10th and 12th marks sheet too… thankfully i carried those  too and i gave them that and document part
too was done smoothly.

Now the toughest part, INTERVIEW!!

Part 2 :

I was 14th in the list. Interviews were happening for around
10-15min.

Bell rang and my turn came around 11 45am.

ME : Knock Knock. May I come in sir?

enhance our imports and exports.

products and services and explained the functions.

M1 : Ok. So how is it different from ECGC?

ME : Sir ECGC is another institution. It stands for Export
Credit Guarantee Corporation of India Limited. This institution doesn’t offer
credit but insures our exports.

M1 : Why to insure exports?

natural disaster comes and so that we don’t go into loss. ECGC provides
insurance for our export.

M1 : Very good.

Baton passed to next sir.

M2 : So dheeraj, what are your hobbies?

ME : I have been volunteering for 6 different NGOs sir from
past 8 years. This is my favourite pastime.

M2 : What kind of NGOs are those?

ME : Anything sir. All the NGOs work for the betterment of
our society. We do to blood donations, animal adoption drives.. we go to
orphanages, old age homes..

M2 : What do you do at old age homes?

ME : We spend time with them sir. We make them feel
comfortable. We give them emotional confidence that we are there to take care
of them. Celebrate small small occasions with them.

M2 : What are the NGOs you’re part of? Any big ones?

ME : No sir. I’, volunteering for 5 NGOs in hyd and i used
to volunteer for 1 more NGO in tamilnadu when i was doing graduation.

M2 : What NGO is that?

ME : Told him the name of the NGO and said that we, a group
of university students started it.

M2 : He seem impressed. J

Now M3!

M3 : Good dheeraj. Lets come to banking. What do you know
about SLR and CRR?

ME : Gave him the basic definitions and told about the
differences.

M3 : Present rates?

ME : Told.

M3 : What if the % is more?

ME : Then banks have to reserve more in their chests. So
less liquidity in market.

M3 : OK that is fine but what is the purpose of those
reserves?

ME : I told him to control things like inflation and all.

(Here, i forgot that basic purpose of CRR and SLR were
actually to regulate the credit growth of the bank) L L

Finally the lady. All this time she was just observing me. I
think she is from HR. K

Lady : Tell me about your family dheeraj.

Me : Told by adding Mr and Mrs before my parents names.

and the lady seemed happy like she was just expecting that.

Lady : What about siblings?

ME : No siblings mam. I’m the only son.

Finally they said Ok good. Interview is done and thank you.

I wished them thank you panel and starting walking out of
the room with a smile. J 

And the toughest part is over now. Although there were many
questions, all were simple ones and the whole interview was about 9-11 min. K

I’m surprised that they didn’t even ask me the basic
question. “Why banking after doing B.Tech?”  😛 😀 

I’m confident. But let’s see what happens now. Waiting for
the scores and final result now.

Fingers crossed. All the best everyone.  

Thank you. J
