13. Are you comfortable with relocation ( Mobility)? ( Specially for girls ) Always say YES if you really

1. What dont you want to join government jobs? ( These question were asked specially if your father

or big brother are in the government service.)

2. What is your sister or brother doing? ( In case you mentioned in the form that you have siblings).

The interview time range was from 2 minutes to 20 minutes. If you are appearing for any private sector bank

interview then simply prepare the basic questions and banking terminology. They dont ask anything which

is related to public sector banks or institutions. They simply check your communications skills, your

smartness in answering questions, basic general awareness. They dont want you to be super brilliant in

banking. They look for interested candidates who really want to make their career in banking domain.

However Interview Questions asked in IBPS PO, Clerk, Specialist officer, SBI PO, Clerk are totally

different. They will be asking a lot about public sector bank knowledge.

You can refer this book to know as how to crack public sector bank interview:
