Me: Sir, Allahabad Bank as a PO?
M2:Yes!!
Me: Sir definitely I will join as an PO and not clerk.Also as I am brought up in north , i have no language barrier also(I am South Indian only but was there in north for 10 yrs so just 2 simple ques like when u came back followed)

The whole panel started laughing especially F1..and they were talking to themselves and giggling.I knew they liked my answer

M1(spoke for 1st tym): Just be open, say 
Me: Sir, seriously arranged is better u have parents support blah blah blah

M3: Tell any 1 ans love or arranged?
Me : Arranged Sir.
M2: Y in love marriage , u cant get a boy according to you?
Me: Sir, if we see all those criterias and select then thats not love, it must come naturally.(All nodded head)
In between few questions like who is United Nations head. I said Mr. Ban ki Moon. They expected more. I couldnt reply.They also asked what i expect in my clerk result. When i said I did best But cant predict. F1 was forcing and pulling words ‘S’ out of my mouth.They want our attitude to be positive.
So frnds what i Want to convey is when u enter interview room , pray and enter, be urself, give genuine answers. Dont restrict urself in your emotions else delivery of answers wont be attractive.F1 was happy and said lastly that you are very targeted in your career.My 1st PO (bless me it is also last!) interview was overrall good infact enjoyable.
So cheer up and do well.
My written attempts:97.(general category)
Very worried,Even though Panel members seemed happy with my answers I cant judge my marks!! Wish me good luck friends and same to all of the hard-workers over here. Hard-work never fails as this is my 1st interview experience after 1 year of Exam preparation and heartbreaks after so many failures.
Thanks,
Priya

All The Best!!!!
