The Strategic Edge: Banking Awareness
The interview panel tests your personality and your knowledge of the banking sector. While you can’t change your personality overnight, you can definitely master banking concepts.
Many candidates struggle to answer basic questions like “What is the difference between Repo Rate and Bank Rate?” or “Explain PCA framework.” Fumbling here leaves a bad impression.
Pro Tip: Don’t rely on random PDFs. For structured learning, use the Scoreclever Banking Awareness Web Book. It covers all concepts simply and includes AI-powered doubt resolution to clear your queries instantly.
Common Interview Questions
Prepare answers for these standard questions:
- Introduction: Tell us about yourself.
- Banking Knowledge: Why do you want to join the banking sector?
- Situational: How would you handle an irate customer?
- Current Affairs: What are the recent major financial news headlines?
Conclusion
The interview carries a weightage of 20 marks in the final selection (80:20 ratio). A good interview score can compensate for a borderline mains score.
