Since you have work experience you can expect most of the questions to be from your previous roles in your office..
Also why do you want to come into banking industry having done your graduation in science.
And some general knowledge based questions

hi Sriraj, i have applied for Syndicate Bank PO, which was advertised on March 21st, they are saying “list of shortlisted candidates is likely to be displayed in the Website after 2 months.”
My Question is whether is there any probability of getting a call in the month of June? because i have applied some other bank exams like Unites bank, Federal bank … etc…..which are conducting exams in june month, all most all sundays.
I am worrying whether my exam dates and this may conflict? please reply me.
All banking exams are conducted by IBPS, which is a banking personnel selection organisation. It takes care so that the dates do not match. Don’t worry.
thank u,,i have finished B.E.. will the bank reject me if i apply for a clerical post?
No. Why would they?
hi sriraj this is the second time i m sending my query
can u plz tell me when will be the results for iob bank P.O exam will be published that was held at april 05 2009 if u don’t know when it will be published then atleast please tell me the approximate date for that please
I’ve answered for this question elsewhere in this blog.
Any way, it’ll be atleast 2 months for the results to be out. So you can expect them in either first or second week of June.
Thank u siraj for answering my query.I was just asking the probable questions that the bank may ask.I know u r not the bank personnel.But u r a gr8 help for the aspiring candidates.keep doing this good work.
hi siraj,is that any problem for you to answer my message.I’m sending this third message.please answer it,I request u this is really important for me.can u please tell me about interview questions in IOB.What type of questions they may ask.I ve done B.Tech in IT in 2005.and I ve no prior work experience.
Kusum,
Your comment would have been answered if I were a bank personnel which is not the case. So anything which I say I say is purely a guess.
Since you have no work experience from 2005 they might ask you what were you doing all these years. questions on current economic situation will be asked with more priority given to India.
can u pls send to my mail wenevr there is any opening for po in any bank?
I cannot send personal emails but you can subscribe to Sriraj.org to receive posts about notifications whenever hey are published

hi, i m devi. i saw the notification of indian bank for clerical post. exam date is 21-6-09, same day united bank’s po exam is there. centres for both are at different district. i m from kerala.
i wish to attend both. will any of them change exam date?
Ohh !! Is it? I’ve never observed that. Actually IBPS might not have been aware of that. Banks generally will have their exams on different days. So, although I cannot guarantee that one of the exam will be deferred, I encourage you to apply to both so that you get a chance to appear for both just in case something like that happens.

I have written the Bank probationery officer exam which held on Jan 2009. Kindly inform me the status of the result.when it will be announced.
Which bank?
I wrote IOB Probationaty Officer’s exam on April 5th, When will the results come?
Its only 3 days now since your exam.Ask me this question atleast after 2 months starting today.
hi sriraj,
i did receive the confirmation mail followed by mail that said my call letter has been dispatched but i dint receive it yet .plz help.
Wait for 30 march to pass by and if you still din’t get your call letter, you take take the email printout and also the payment receipt(just in case it’s needed) to the IOB Bank address given in the advertisement. Generally it’ll be the local head office in your city.
hi sriraj, i have filled exam form for iob po but i havn’t taken printout of copy of my application form and now there is no printout option in iob web site. in case i dont receive call letter i have to submit challen and copy of application in my centre. i have challen but dont have the copy of application. pls tell me how to get printout of copy of application of IOB PO.
You’ll get an email that your call letter has been dispatched. You can even manage with that..
I have written the Bank probationery officer exam which held on Jan 2009. Kindly inform us the status of the result.when it will be announced.
IOB PO written test is scheduled next month, Which bank are you talking about?
Why don’t you see that particular banks’ website if results are announced or not?
Hi Sriraj,thank u very much for al the updates u provide us.Its very helpfull.i have registered for IOB PO exam bt finding very difficulf to prepare cos of time contraints.Any easy ways to get prepared……? Also let me know wat does it include in english lang just optionals or eassy type questions….
See, bank exams are not difficult at all. But the thing is, for say 1000 posts there will be atleast a 1 lk candidates competing. Thats where the difference comes in getting selected and not being so.
And coming to the english section, any banking english papers consists parts like sentence completion/correction, passages, sentence arrangement, antonyms etc..Its all basic stuff, nothing out of world.
Is there any chance that i can change my examination center city as I filled hydrabad but now i want delhi as my centre . if yes than please let me know
As far as my ken goes any change in examination centre will not be entertained
i want to know about the edu qalification for the bank po exams.
Any bachelors degree with 65% marks (or as mentioned in the advt) and 21 years of age as on given date in the advt.
i am unable to apply online “its says this application is best viewd in IE 6.0 and above” i tried in all the browsers exisiting but no use” any one please help
Try applying on another day. IOB website had some problems the first few days when online application was opened. So this might be another case of a bug.
Keep an eye on the last date..
thanxx…bt i had already paid 400 rs for the post…as i was told at the branch that i am eligible..so is there any solution for it…can i use them for any other post??
suggest sumthin…
It’s your responsibility to double check the required qualifications before applying to any post and one cannot blame the branch persons for it..
As far as I know you cannot use those 400 Rs for any other recruitment test’s including those from IOB
hello sir,I am prachi gupta n pursuining B.E and will be passing in june,2009.
am i eligible or not
for P.O post exam? reply..soon..its urgent!
As it was clearly mentioned in the advt that the required qualifications viz. a minimum of bachelors degree should be present as on 01.01.2009 (that is on or before 01.01.2009). So, you are not eligible for this recruitment Prachi but do not worry as there are many more bank PO advts to come in the near future. All the best.
respecetd sir give mail me to any vacncies of any post
Suman kumari, I guess (probably sure) you are not eligible for this recruitment by IOB as the mentioned qualifications are to be present as on (on or before) 01.01.2009
i have complited my degree on feb 2009. i want to know whether i m elieible or not. please message me on my contact number- 09387430741
