Hiiiiii 
First of all congrats to selected for interview.I am also
searching for the same concept

Hey Rahul... 

The selection will be based on both the test and interview.

ratio 4 interview is 3:1

it is 4:1 not 3:1

Hii all...
4:1 means 20% will go out???

I have the following doubts. somebody please help me..

1) how to specify the new preferences of bank/state. We
should specify bank or state???

2) can I submit identity certificate and character
certificate given by same officer.

3) Do we need to attest the 3 copies of bio-data form by
Gazetted officer??

It doesn't mean 20% out....I think its 20% IN....I too got
my call letter for the interview on 29th.....

hi guys all the very best for ur selection
i think ratio will be definately 3:1 as is shows in 
advertisement information published when we apply.

all the best for ur interview

hey friends i also pass written test and my interview on 22-
5-9. i also tell you that i was clear sbi 20000 posts tedt 
but not clear my interview and they called 600000 
candidates for 20000 posts and the interviw weightage is 
there written test 200 and interview 40 no.  so goodluck 
for all

hi Sanjeev,
How was ur last interview with sbi which u dint clear?Is it
so tough? Reply..

so is it not upto a hope if written test was just passed?

hi..all don't expect that u get job by passing written 
test..

because in last the interview in SBI (20000 vac), for 
around 500 vacancies in Kerala Circle, they interviewed 
around 5000 people..and it makes the ratio nearly 1:10

so dont make any expections..just work well and perform 
well in the interview..

guys...ihave a problem..i have cleared the written exam.but
i am not yet a graduate..can any1 tell me how is it going to
affect my interview ??

Candidates in the ratio of 3 times the number of vacancies
will be called for interview. Final selection will be made
on the basis of performance in the written test and
interview taken together. Merely satisfying the eligibility
norms does not entitle a candidate to be called for written
test or interview. This was announced by SBI when they call
for applications for written exam.

i have also interview on 26 may. i want to ask u the way 
in which u r preparing for interview. what questions r 
expected to be asked. thanku very much.

Hi Ramesh ,

Did they really tell that it is 3 times the no of 
vacancies. its not mentioned anywhere???
And what about SC and ST reservations 

It is about 4 times the vacancy as there 46 seats and 
candidates called are 201 for Bhopal region for Dena Bank.
I am selected for Bhopal region

Please reply

hi my name is vishnuvarma , I was cleared written test which
was conducted by  associate banks of sbi. MY interview is on
25.05.09 exactly at 12 noon in chennai. actually am pursuing
MBA(regular) in university of madras , Can any one share
their experience in SBI Interview panel ?

Hi all...
Can anybody tell me what to write under the columns
'INDICATE FACULTY' and 'EXAMINING BODY' in the bio-data form.

Thanks in advance

Hari

Faculty is the principal subject u studied..like if u r a 
BSC physics graduate then put physics, or if you are just 
+2 Science group put science and examining body is like 
University name or the Board name...

Also it's just wastage of time discussing the ratio of 
selection and how many candidates are called for interview 
because they never mention that and it is all up to 
CRPD...in the last SBI interview..they interviewed around 
5000 candidates for 500 vacancies in Kerala Circle making 
ratio 1:10...

Hi everyone
I had my interview today.
They wont be asking any tough questions, just some basic
things. Most questions will be personal and about the
subject we are studying or have studied in past.

Main things to note.
CRR
Repo Rate
Reverse Repo Rate
SLR
PLR
Bank Rate
What is Banking?
RBI
SBI
SB*(*=associate bank u have applied for)

Know your subject. For commerce students there will many
questions. Also look at all the main recent happenings.

Questions they asked me. I don't remember all.
What is my course?(about the course I'm doing now)
Why i applied for bank job?
What is banking?
Then 3-4 question from my course.(I'm doing MSc Physics)
What is SWAT valley?
What is SMS(full form)?
What is URL and full form?

Commerce students can expect more questions from banking.

Hope this helps you. All the best guys n gals.
