3. Question: You have got a good IBPS Score, what will happen if you get selection in another bank? Will you leave our job in case get selection in other bank or somewhere else?

How to Answer: This is also a very common question but can be answered smartly; you can tell the board that there is no point of leaving the job if you get selection in any other public sector bank as all banks are almost same as far as career growth & job profile are concerned. You can also tell the board that you are looking for an established career and willing to learn. You will not leave the job for small monetary benefits & for petty reasons. You should try to convince them that unless there is a substantial reason or career growth, you are not going to leave the job.

These are indicative answers; the purpose here is to tell you how you can answer these types of questions in an effective manner. You can always make value additions as per the requirement & situation of the interview. In the next Mock Interview Series we will take few more important questions

4. Question : You are an Engineering graduate (or any other different field such as MBA, BCA, MCA etc.), why you want to enter into banking sector?

Answer: This is a quite common question as you may be from a different field and now appearing in Bank Exams Interviews, in such scenario this kind of question is very much likely. You can reply it a deft manner by saying that although you are from a different field but you have always regarded career of a Bank Officer as a very prestigious one & if given a chance you would like to enter in to banking sector. Moreover you may be from a different field but you can still apply the knowledge you have acquired (give some example, for e.g. Banks are now a days very much techno savy hence the knowledge you have acquired in engineering, MCA etc can easily be applied). You can also say that banking is one of the fastest growing sectors hence you too would like to be part of that growth and would like to take your career to new levels by joining as a Bank Probationary Officer.

5. Question : By going through your bio data we observe that you have completed your graduation 3-4 years back, what you have been doing for last 4 years (or as the case may be)?

Answer: You can reply by telling the board about factual position, for e.g. if you have worked somewhere you can tell them about that, if you have worked somewhere but you are not having proof of that than you can say that you have tried your hand in a few jobs but they were not of your liking hence after some time you have decided for preparation of Bank Exams. You can tell them that you have been preparing for bank exams for last few years (as the case may be) and are determined to get success and to become a Probationary Officer.
