Assalam-u-Alikum
Miss Noreen, there is no final interview call for lahore center because my interview was on 11th of may and it will take about 2 weeks to call for final interview. thanks

But sir mr ahmed malik mentioned that his interview will be 19 of may in lahore centre

Miss Noreen, Be calm. there may be some sort of Misconception as he did not tell us about his Initial Interview date. Furthermore, if you have any query then contact Askari Bank. contact details are mentioned in the Email which we got for Initial Interview. Thanks

My inital interview was on 11th and i got final interview mail on 17th.

If anyone of you have confussion then i can also show you mail for final interview.i was busy thats why i wasn't able to rply.

Ok. Any one from lahore centre do you know.? Who has received final email.

You are from lahore or any other city? Or aik bat sub ka final interview aik hi din ho ga

Its better if you call askari bank hr directly to avoid any sort of confusion.
