Hi, My name is Sagar. My interview venue was SBI LHO, Mumbai. I reached the venue at 7:30. They took us in for documents verification at 8:00 am.
There they verified our documents (please bring 4 photocopies of Bio-data form and all mark-sheets should be self-attested) After that they did our biometrics. Then a ma’m took us to the GD room.
In the GD room there were two male moderators. They congratulate us on getting so far in the selection process, after they explained the rules of GD.
The GD topic of my panel was: ‘Should India adopt cashless economy?’
We were given 5 minutes to write our points and after that they started the Group Discussion. We had a healthy discussion with candidates speaking randomly but everyone got atleast three chances to speak.
After that there was Prioritization Discussion under Group Exercise.
Meetings and appointmentsDemands of superior and consumerDiscussion on strategyProblem resolution and firefighting.Reading irrelevant novelsChating and social mediaFrequent tea and cigarette breaks Creating and designing projects.
First 5 minutes were given to prioritize individually. Then everyone spoke about why they chose/prioritized the given quality as first priority and so on. We had to reach a group consensus. After that the moderators asked us to put writing pad and sheet on the table.
