Hii my name is Satabdhi Kesari Barik.I am from Bhubaneswar, Odisha. I have done Btech in Electrical engineering.

Interview Venue: SBI LHO BHUBANESWAR

Date of Interview: 12/09/2017

Reporting Time: 8 AM

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. Group Discussion can be a tensed situation for some, but with confidence and clarity of thought, one can easily score in this phase. It is important to maintain the decorum of the session and avoid being too loud. Put forth your views and opinions firmly best backed by figures or facts and also let your fellow group members voice their opinions.

Group Exercise – What to look for If you are going for a vacation?

We were given to 8 points to prioritize. Group Exercise is performed after the discussion. In this group, exercise candidates were given a set of few qualities/ attributes/ traits/ parameters which they had to prioritize according to their understanding of the topic/ situation/ thinking ability.

Lodging and boarding
Online review

There were 2 points more. I can’t recall them right now.
