Experience2:

Name- Abhishek Srivastava
Date- 17/03/16
Time- 8:30 am
Venue- Hotel Grand JBR, Lucknow
Panel- 1

I reached the venue 45 minutes ahead of the scheduled time. I waited at the entrance till 8:30 am. There was a big hall with 5 panels sitting for document verification. When I got seated in front of my panel, a ma’am came and directed us about arranging of documents and attestation of documents for verification. I already had arranged my documents and attested them at my home only. When Sir called us for verification everyone was busy attesting their documents. So I got an upper hand and did verification process first from my panel. Though my number was 13th in the list, I was called at 2nd number for interview since my verification process was already done.

There were 4 gentlemen and 1 lady member in the panel. I won’t post my experience in a question answer format since my whole interview was concentrated on one topic CBS only. Whole time only the chairman of the panel asked questions to me and Luckily I answered all without skipping a single one. First of all he asked me about my family background and education right from class 10th. Then he asked why did I leave my job? (I worked as a software engineer for one and a half year in a MNC). After that his question was,
“What is CBS and what are the resources we need to implement it ?”
 I said, “CBS stands for Core Banking Solution. The term CORE is the acronym for Centralized Online Real Time Exchange. CBS means Anytime anywhere banking where one can avail all services by going through any of the networked branch of his bank. The computer hardware and CBS Software such as Finacle and people are the resources.”

 Then he asked how CBS works ? 
I said about Client-Server architecture and explained him 3-tier client server architecture. He asked me What is Client ? What is Server ? I explained him. But he was looking for something else.

 Again he asked u have hardware and software (say Finacle) how would you implement CBS ? 
This time I got his point and said we will create a virtual private network through Internet. 


Again he asked how?
I said through getting a leased line from Internet Service Providers. He asked me to name a few ISPs. I told.

 After that one member again asked about my family background. And that’s it. They finished off my interview.

 I wished them good-day and came out. Hoping for the best. J
