State bank's interview preparation
 

I have qualified for interview for the post of OG-1 in state bank of pakistan and since the announcement of written result, i have been searching for the posts relating interviews but i havn't been able to search useful posts regarding it. I am making this thread exclusively for sharing interview experience so that i and many of my friends who are looking for guidance regarding interview should benefit. All seniors who have attempted State bank tests and given interviews are respectfully requested to share their experience.

I personally opine that SBP will call 3 candidates for each seat. Your marks are enough good to be called for interview. Be prepared with the stuff relating to banking, finance and economics.
Hope for the best.

Thanks for sharing your experience. This year IBP conducted the exam for og1. IBP invited applications from graduates only. My query is wether this year SBP would follow the same pattern of interview or will it change its pattern. Because this year there would not necessirly be MBAs or BBAs rather simple BAs who dont have any accounting or economics background.

Share your score and domicile.
 

Share your score of written test along with domicile.

You can also share score of your acquaintances, if you know.


When the interviews are expected?

you don't need to learn financial terms. you need to focus on your own subject. important topics related to your subject. About of SBP, and the bonds that are issued by the SBP and economic terms

I am from Chakwal and my score is 75 koi punjab sy bhi select hua hai ya phir sab hi sindh sy hi hain.

Here are a few FAQs:

1. How many candidates will they call for interview?
A. All the qualified candidates.

2. What do they ask in interview?
A. Just like any other interview, they may ask anything. Mostly it will be related to your own studies and experiences. They might ask some basic banking or financial terms but it doesn't reflect very badly on you if you don't know them because you are not supposed to know much about it. Do read about SBP and SBP (BSC) a little, what they do and what they don't.

3. Key to successful interview?
A. Confidence. Do not get confused if they do not agree with you or if you don't know answer to a question. Stay very positive.

4. How many candidates are going to be hired?
A. Probably around 80 if previous trend continues.

5. What is the weightage of test scores/interview?
A. Nobody knows. But the weightage for test scores is pretty high and you have very good chances of being selected if you scored well.

My source is experience of interviewing with SBP myself and my friends most of whom got inducted.

And they are right about there not being an exact timeline and yes number of vacancies is also not announced but again I'm speaking from past experience as I said earlier.

I forgot to reply about the high marks part. It really depends on how others scored in the test so I cannot say what a high score would be.

You can check other threads of previous YPIP and JOTP programs to get an idea of how long it takes for the interview calls. It should not take too long I believe.

[QUOTE=Sarah Yasir;879630]i have also passed test with 73 marks dont know whether they will call or not,i am from Sindh R[/QUOTE]

Sarah relax and enjoy your success,,,you will be called for interview and eventually selected.
I have a friend who works at SBP-BSC HR dept,,he said that 70 and around is a good score for selection of a person who belongs to backward areas.
