SBI PO INTERVIEW QUESTIONS ASKED -27919 ONE

Gd topic was : US and china trade war; is going to benefit india?

gd was good I initiated by quoting when this trade war started; who started and about 25% tariffs first US put on china and then china did the same then I told about the corporate tax relaxation by our finance ministry with data( as i learned it,all credit goes to you sir) and said that now it will benefit india after such huge tax cuts.

in 2nd turn i said this trade war is not going to be for a short span of time because US called china currency manipulator and in recent bilateral dialouge between US and india president trump said indirectly that even today all is not well between china and US.

as those who are in against saying that it is going to be only a short term opportunity so i contradicted them my saying that friends opportunities are always for short time we have to grab it and make it long lasting through our capabilities and our country is capable enough to do so.

ge topic was: there is a village named alipur suffering from unemployment, bad health conditions of children and women and high crimes and now a small budget is alloted to it then what will be your priorities in spending that budget.

1. on primary education 

2, on health of children and women

3 vocational training of youth 

4 providing employment opportunities

5 good law and order

one more was there could not remember sorry for that sir.

2 Males were there in GD. 1 was GM and 1 was DGM.
11 students in GD.
GD - DIVESTMENT AND PRIVATISATION OF PSUs AND INVESTING THE PROCEEDS IN SOCIAL WELFARE AND DEVELOPMENT IS GOOD?
We discussed and listened one another's point and reached on consensus in time.
Sirs said that your GD was very good. You guys did it well and within time.
GE - 9 points were given to maintain Professionalism.
Here we were given 15 minutes to write down our points and then we started discussion. We discussed step by step each point and then convinced each other. Finally we all reached to a common ranking of points. This process also went smoothly.
Then Sirs again said that you all done it in time.
Then we all gave our sheet of GE to Sirs. And came out of the room after saying thanks.
Here once i made a mistake which sir noticed. I was sitting in the middle  and 6 people on my left and 4 on my right. when i was saying my point i was looking at only my left. so i think that was my mistake. But while listening and again telling my point 2nd and 3rd tym i was looking at everyone.
After GD completed then sir told that you all look at everyone, don't look on one side. I think that was a indication to me. Except this all went well. I spoke not too much but when i spoke i kept a good point in my GD.
This is all about GD.
PI  - 2 males, 2 females = here M1 is Chairman. Interview lasted for approx 5 minutes.
I entered the room and greeted them by saying Good Afternoon Ma'am and Sirs.
They also said good afternoon.
M1 - greet me in hindi for good afternoon. (becos i had mentioned to give my intrvw in Hindi).
Me - Sir, actually i am unable to remember that word becos of habit of saying it in hindi.
M1 - Ok So tell me the process of a manufacturing firm.
Me - I got confused of his question, As i have done B.COM so i thought he is asking about accounting process. So i said sir actually i have done my B.COM 5 years ago so i don't remember exactly in detail.
M1 - So what, the process of manufacturing is always same.
Me - Sir actually i am unable to understand what exactly you are asking.
M1 - Suppose this is a pen (showing his pen), now tell me how this pen made.
Me - ok sir. then i told him the basic process which we all know. Like , buying good quality raw material and machinery then labour, management, appointing experts of raw material, then making it, then distributing it in market. then getting customers response and then improving our product as per feedback.
M1 - and Advertising?
Me - Ohh Sorry sir, i forgot to mention that. That is the most important part in present world.
F1 - Ok so your hobby is Watching youtube videos. tell me whose videos you see (I had mentioned watching videos of national/ International speakers).
Me - I told her and she asked me to tell in detail, and i told them one story which i saw 2 days ago.
F2 - Give me a brief analysis of urself.
Me - I am hardworking, honest, quick learner, and like to take challenging tasks and completing it.
F2 - and your Weakness?
Me - I think too much. And that has a positive and a negetive effect. Positive is that i get many new ideas and plans. And negetive is that it seems like i have loads on my head all the time. So for that i need some more rests.
F2 - What ideas you get, tell me.
Me - I told her a story of a businessman that how he expanded his business and reached in fortune 500. And then i related it with same expansion that can be done in banks to expand business of banks. I told that becos govt. has control over banks so the expansion can not be done easily but it can be done.I told them that i have not thought yet too much on it. But i will think upon it.
F1 - Ok tell me who is your inspiration?
Me - I told them about my father and 2 more person. They asked what inspires you in your father. I told them that he is hardworking, honest, completes his task carefully, completely on time. My father is not too much educated yet he is respected very much in his office.
M2 - Ok tell me that currently banks are going to merge. So do you think that will be successful and objectives will be achieved.
Me - Sir It depends on how it is handled after merger. And the problems caused banks to go into stress like governance structure and all other reasons if that will be solved and not repeated after merger then it will be successful.
M2 - Why are u coming to banks when they are in so stressed condition.
Me - Sir all banks are not in same condition. And in future these problems will be solved.
M2 - Suppose that those mistakes are again repeated then?
Me - Sir it is difficult to assume that becos all banks are not in stress or all will do same mistakes after merger, that is difficult. Becos when two or three banks are merging then with business, their ideas, plans, ways of doing business, all will be merged then they will take decisions. So I don't think that they will repeat same mistakes again.
F1 - Do you read newspaper and which newspaper?
Me - I said i read The Hindu and sometimes Business Standard.
M1 - Do you read Business standard hindi version?
Me - No sir i read English version.
F1 - Why dont you read Sanmarg? (becos my father works in that)
