I reached the venue at 7:30
AM. 5-6 Candidates were already present and document verification was going on.
Document verification went smoothly. The officers were very cooperative. I felt
contented and jovial.

After that, a ma’am instructed
us to go to the 6th floor where GD/GE was to be conducted. In the GD room, 2
officers were present. I was overwhelmed seeing their attire and personality.
First of all, they congratulated us for getting up to this stage.Then they gave
instructions and norms of GD/GE.

GD TOPIC- The personal
relationship has edge over digital relationship and vice versa in banking.

Duration -20 min 

It went smoothly. Everyone put
forth their opinions and perspectives. And finally, we reached a conclusion
that both are equally important and mutually dependent.
