SBI PO GD PI EXPERIENCE OF A MEMBER
Lucknow LHO
Members -12
SBI officials -2
Language - Hindi/English
Details - 5 minutes given before each to note down the points
Total time duration - 15 minutes each (but the candidates didn't realize how soon it passed)
GD - Started with a 10 second pause. In between also some pauses. This is the best time to speak. GD was peaceful. 1-2 people tried to speak too much, trying to dominate. Some went off topic. But in the end, this girl gave a conclusion and everyone agreed. Officials said, discussion was good.
5 minute break was given in between.
GE - 8 points were given. You needed to agree on 1,2,3 and 8th. Started with people describing all 8 points at the same time. As expected, the officials had to interrupt. The group reached consensus on 2nd, 3rd and 8th point. Many times it became a fish market. People were trying to prove themselves right. This girl tried to bring the group back to agreement whenever she could.
Interview - 5 panel members (1 female). All cordial and friendly. Total time 12-13 minutes. For working candidates, it went a bit longer. Questions asked -
How are you?
Why gap of 4 years?
What is reverse repo rate?
Profit and loss account, ledger, etc. and some other commerce terms (BCOM student)
Why SBI? How will you handle the work pressure?
What is GDP (she got confused and told the numbers)
Fixed assets
World boxing championship (asked to many people)
Overall - good experience. Very good hospitality by SBI. Lunch was provided.

Since yesterday, a lot of candidates have been inquiring about Mock Interviews for SBI PO, NICL AO and SIDBI Grade A/B. Currently, we are not sure whether (and when) we will be able to schedule them, since our days are packed, due to multiple other Regulatory body exams lined up.
However, we are trying our best to adjust them, so if we can, it will be announced within a couple of days.
Meanwhile, you may ask all your preparation related doubts in the comments. Also please avoid personal messages, unless extremely necessary 🙏
