I reached the venue around 8.20 and after signing i was sent to document verification which had already started. The document verification was over within 5 minutes after my name was called as per the list. Remember to sign all the xerox copies even the application printout.
I was the 8th member in panel-2 and my interview time was at 10.30 went on for 12 minutes. Here's what they asked
All panel members were male so i entered saying Good morning sir to whoever met my eye contact.

me: (told the meaning)
m1: Which religion do you belong to?
me: (answered)
m2:asked me if i could converse in Urdu i said yes
m1: So are you a religious person?
me: Sir i believe in God and doing good not hurting others intentionally. I would say i'm more spiritual less religious.
m2: asked me a few religious things like namaz and if i did it regularly
me: i do pray but not regularly
m1: Why not? it means you are not sincere believer
I was thinking why are they asking me all this why not subject.
finally m3 who was very strictly observing my body language spoke up
m3: tell me about your education
me: I'm a 2013 MBA (F&M) passout
m1: Why is it not in the application?

he asked me each one what it does and how to calculate
m4(interrupted): ok you gave 2 tell me another one next set of ratios i said turnover ratios
m3: no i asked you important ratios for a bank
me:i said all ratios which i knew
m3: have you heard of debt coverage?
m2: explained when i said nothing
m2: tell me about KYC
me: answered.
m4 wanted to send me away but then m2 asked about my family i answered.
m4: you did not expect your interview to go this way did you?
me: no sir i did expect a few questions about the ratios.
m4: Yes but did you expect the questions about your religion?
me: No sir that was beyond my imagination.
(they all laughed and said Ruba remember goodness is godlines)
guys this is important before i left they pointed out that i was carrying a torn folder. So pay attention not just to your dress but also what you carry.
(I thanked them for bringing that to my notice and for other points too they gave me) Just keep smiling all the time. they were all really friendly and helped whenever i was faltering.
hopefully I've not made too many mistakes. fingers crossed.
All the best to those with upcoming interviews and for the results.
