I applied via Company Website and was interviewed before May 2022. There were 2 interview rounds.

Round 1 - Aptitude Test 

Same level as IBPS PO mains. Only one exam. Not like other IBPS/SBI PO exams where you have to give prelims and mains.

Round 2 - One-on-one 

(1 Question)

  • Q1. Normal banking interview. Asked about basic banking terminology and uwhat is going on in current banking scenario. No personal questions or reasoning based questions asked.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Quite easy to crack the exam if you are preparing for IBPS/SBI. The exam is not hard if you are practicing for the mains. Interview was also very easy. The advantage of going for SIB rather than any PSUs is that you will get same benifits(salary packages and other emoluments) without the work pressure compared to a PSU. You will get to learn a lot more as the bank is going through a lot of changes and upgrading itself.
