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 🙏

IBPS PO interview experience
(Chitra Thokchom)
So, I opened the door and said ,"May I come in , Sir?”
Sir has said to come in and told me to close the door behind. Then I greeted Ma’am , before I could finish greeting them , they had already greeted me back and told me to sit .They asked me in hindi but I told them I don’t understand hindi and I would prefer english. But they still used hindi sometimes which was difficult for me to understand and that’s when the nervousness started. The Chairman even told me to be bold .
The questions asked are
✓My name and educational qualification.
- I told them I’m a graduate (I didn’t elaborate, was too nervous) So they asked to tell them completely if BA or BSc or BCom , so told them. And they asked what I’ve been doing after my graduation. ( I graduated in 2023 so I told them I’ve been preparing for this exam , they asked the year again)
✓What are intangible assets?
- I answered what it is but there was some seconds of silence so I thought my answer was too short and maybe they are waiting for me to tell more so gave wrong examples ( I know the correct examples though) so they told me not to add those examples if not asked because that’s when people start making mistakes.
✓What is refinance? (Told them)
✓What is MICR? (Told them about MCLR instead , they said no then I said sorry I was confused and told the correct answer).
✓MICR code details.
✓What is NPA? Types of NPA. (Told them)
✓What is MUDRA? (Told them in detail, I’ve told correctly till Kishore loans but told Tarun loans is up to 1 lakhs , they said "how 1 lakhs , you have said for kishore it is upto 5 lakhs , so I said sorry and told them 10 lakhs and also told them about Tarun plus)
✓MUDRA fullform .( forgot again so I told them I am not able to recall)
✓PNB merged with which bank ?
✓Which other banks have been merged ?( told them )
✓What are some monetary policy tools ?( told them SLR and CRR only)
✓What is SLR?( told them)
✓What is the validity of a cheque? A cheque passed its validity is called what? ( I was thinking for a while and I was about to say stale cheque but the chairman had said first before I could say it)
✓They asked something about political science , I was not able to grasp the question, it wasn’t clear to me .
✓What is DICGC? ( told them and instead of corporation , I said company)
[Is there any local food delivery service in your state? ( I told them we used swiggy and zomato, at that time I couldn’t think of any local delivery)
✓Are you ready to work anywhere in the country ? ( I told them Yes Sir)

Hey everyone,
After careful consideration, we’ve concluded that it isn’t feasible for us to conduct Mock Interviews at the moment.
With multiple ongoing exams, our team is already managing a heavy schedule, and taking up another initiative right now could affect the quality we aim to maintain.
We truly appreciate your interest and understanding, and we hope to resume our Mock Interview sessions from next month.
Apologies to everyone who had been waiting for this 🙏

SBI PO Psychometric test - Complete details
What is it?
Psychometric test is simply a personality test. It aims to know who you are.. example whether you make a lot of friends or not, whether you do multitasking or just a single task at a time, etc.
Is there any passing criteria?
No. It's jusy a formality. You just need to appear. There will be no right or wrong answers.
How to prepare?
Keep your documents ready, reach the venue on time, and read this post once again. That's it. No need for anything else.
How to attempt?
Questions will be like -
"I am a friendly and outgoing person."
Strongly disgree ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ strongly agree
The options will mean strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree.
Pick whatever fits you. Choose neutral only if you can't decide. Otherwise be honest. Don't try to act smart and choose options which sound better, like "a PO must be an outgoing person, so I will tick strongly agree, even if I am an introvert."
They will catch you.
Read the instructions very very carefully.
Keep an open mind while attempting. Some questions will be repeated in different words. Like
Q. 1) I like to work alone.
Q. 20) I like to work as a team.
Now, if you tick agree in both, it would sound like you are confused. So you have to be careful here. Don't contradict yourself. If a rough sheet is provided, you can note down some answers also. (Although that is not needed).
Finally, be calm. Don't think about it much.
Keep preparing for interview/GD.
What clothes to wear?
Wear what you would wear in a written test. No need for formals.
Final tips -
This test might be a golden opportunity to socialise with other candidates. You never know, you might see your neighbour in GD also. So don't miss this chance.
Hope all your doubts are resolved now ❤️
