Go through the newspaper on interview date and try to keep
3-4 headlines in memory.

Be well dressed.
Be confident.
Be honest.
Eye contact is important.

Thax for ur quick reply Mr.Hari.

what r the qns we can expect from computers background.
I need to revise all my academics throughly,or only 
fundamentals is enough?
b'coz the time is less i can't read all the subjects.

Thanx in advance

Swapna... U don't need to go to depth. Just basics will be
enough. Since u r from computer background, questions
related to banking will be less. But general questions will
be asked.

GM of sbi
Number of branches
First bank in India
Largest bank in the world
Some questions related to recession.
Recent happenings in banking industry.
Country using plastic currency.

These are some questions I collected from previous candidates.

LAN
internet
E-Governance
E-commerce
Internet banking
ATM - Protocol used (people use automatic instead of
AUTOMATED. It's wrong) 
difference between internet banking and ATM


If the interviewer is good enough in computer knowledge, u
can expect him to ask difficult questions. We can answer
these questions generally and technically. If the
interviewer looks unsatisfied, try more technical answer.

Diff btwn c and c++
E-commerce applications etc.

They can ask some funny questions or very easy common sense
questions to reduce the pressure. 

Post your experience after the interview. All the very best.

Hey... I'm not an expert. My aunt is working in SBT. She

Hi Swapna,
    
     	Indian banks have proved among the most resilient and
sound banking institutions in the world because they are
based on strong business fundamentals, rigorous monitoring
of risk and strong monetary guidelines.Moreover Central bank
lowered repo rate and  CRR several times in the last one
year. That improved liquidity by pumping in more cash in the
market.
      Share more topics related to interview.pls post ur
experiences b'coz my interview is on 29th.Thanx in advance.

Impact of US financial crisis on Indian s/w sector?

Having done post graduation in computerscience coming for 
clerical cadre? why ? The best answer ?

Anu,all the best 4 ur interview?

hi swapna,

Obama  had said that companies outsourcing jobs to overseas
destinations may lose tax benefits. This is a key provision
of US law that allows American companies to pay less taxes
for profits earned overseas.The plan also would make it
harder for individuals to stash money in overseas accounts
to avoid taxation.This action will make so many Indians
jobless.Thus worsens  the  condition of already crisis hit
Indian economy.

                    I think u can say US crisis and it's -ve
effect on IT sector.I am not sure about this answer.

   If u have better answers pls share
