Bank of India General Banking Officer Interview Questions and Answers

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: The resume was as per the norms of my college’s Placement Office.I felt that the interviewers were not interested in your resume but were more interested in your family background and the type of person you are. The interviewers are also interested in the reason you choose to leave the core sector.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The next round was the personal interview round. The interview panel had five general managers of the company. They asked some general questions. They were interested in knowing about me and my family background. They asked me about my father’s profession. I told them that my father owned a shop and had a garment business. They asked me some questions related his business like ‘Who purchases your clothes?’, ‘What is the annual turnover of your business?’ and ‘What are the annual earnings?’ They also asked me about my family. They asked me about the job opportunities present in the field of biotechnology. I replied that there were none. They were amazed by the blunt reply. Then I explained the complete scenario to them. I told them that there are certainly a lot of opportunities available in this sector but most of the companies in this sector recruit only students with Masters/Doctoral degrees and even though I have the potential, academically I do not have the necessary qualifications. They seemed to be convinced with my reply.Next, the panel gave me a situation that in case after recruitment I was to be placed in Kerala with a day profile job, where I would have to interact with the local population whose dialect would be completely unknown to me which might cause a lot of trouble, would I still take up the job. This question put me in quite a bit of dilemma. I requested them to give me a few seconds to think about it. They gladly accepted my request. After pondering over the question for few seconds I unwillingly yet confidently said yes.Finally he asked me what I knew about the companies like Facebook, Apple and the likes. He asked me to state the leading biotechnology company and its CEO. They were looking for calm, composed and confident candidates for the job.

College Name: IIT ROORKEE
Motivation: The profile offered was of “General Banking Officer” – a designation just below that of the junior manager. I acquired the knowledge about the company and the profile through the pre-placement talk.
