Interview Review of IBPS PO 2014 By Participant
Hello Friends, My name is Jagan Mohan.
Qualification : B.Tech (EEE)
Venue : Andhra Bank Zonal Office, Guntur
Date : 07/01/2014
Time : 1:00 pm
Panel : 1
My interview experience was as follows :
I have produced my pan card as proof at the time of the written examination. So they asked me to submit the same which i have lost in a train journey. I tried to submit a photostat copy of it to them with a signature of gazetted officer on it which they unaccepted. Instead they asked for some other valid proof and it happened to be my passport. (They are very strict in spelling of name in proof and ssc certificate).
I entered the interview room at about 3 o clock. I am the 13th member in my panel.
me: May i come in sir,
M3 : Come in (Order : M1 M2 M3 M4 all males middle aged)

me: blank expression .
M3: Tell me about your mother.

M3: She is doing her Ph.D now??
me : yes sir, she had an expierience as an Economics lecturer for 6 years and now she decided to continue her education on research side.
M3: (He thought that since she is doing her phd and also worked as a lecturer. she might have TRAINED me well for the interview and i would be having deeper knowledge in the subject WHICH NEVER HAPPENED).

M2: What is your project work in Btech?
me: told.
M2: What is a BUS?? (Electrical term)
me: I said it as a connector between transmission lines that carries current for distribution purposes (In non-technical words thinking that he is not aware of technical words which i regretted afterwards). The answer is correct though.
M2: What is Load Balancing? and How it is Done?
Me: (By now I came to know that he know electrical engineering more than my university professors and I felt like I am Writing annual exam of high voltage transmission lines.) It is done at the terminal point of generation station like thermal or hydro, and at the point of transmission (I missed the word GRID as I am clueless with the way my interview was going by then). The answer is 56% correct as far as i know.
M2: What is your branch?? He checked my cmm and said.. oh! Electrical and eclectronics?? That's why he is able to say all these things. (He meant it in a negative way as he is not satisfied with my explanation as i did it in the same way we write our university exams, i.e., mostly non sense and some subject.)
M3: Who is our commerce minister?
me: (I was like still asking questions?? ask me questions on banking or just leave me man i cant take this any more.........) Sorry sir I dont know.
M3: who is our Vice President?? (In a Sarcastic way like, Let me see if you know atleast this!)
me:Hamid Ansari Sir,
M3: Want to ask anything? directing to M4.
M4: What are our export trends?
me: Thats a damn general question like giving a brief overview on exports which i misunderstood as a question demanding statistical data and sidetracked myself by relating export with imports taking CAD in the middle and saying its percentage in our GDP at mid july and end of december.
M4: Listened everything and said Thats not what I asked!
me: (I am Finished)
M3: Thank You. You can leave now.
me:Thank you sir.
The interview lasted for about 20 minutes!! (one of the longest).
So friends a Total 14 questions were shooted by them (Excluding general ones like family and education!!) and only 1 question is banking related and every other is general awareness and technical ones and i have managed as far as i can.. also i got out of track of my behavior like blank expressions and deviated eye contact because of decreased confidence as i am stunned by the questions they were asking which may fetch me still negative impression.
The chances for me to get selected are as equal as they are to get rejected. It entirely depends on them. So Those who are still going to face their interviews, just go on. no suggestions and no cautions!!! .
