@ sachin:
u may hav not read all the comments of khushi madam. she told bhavna that if somehow bhavna get selected then she wil b get rid of study. so she likes to get the job by luck n get rid of study n hard work n that’s why she is giving this GOOD HOPE mentioned by divya mam. n regarding IAS/IPS they r the most corrupt people in our country so i want 2 say u that when u wil clear ias exam one day, u wil think now u hav become special.
clearing an exam is not an accident my dear, it takes a consistent effort for some time. the person scored 170 has worked hard for so many days than who scored 150. so attending interview for just a day n hope 2 get the job is not bad at all, but it means person with 170 has got the job because of 170 n person with 150 with luck n by chance as u mentioned about me , u want this luck n by chance thing 2 work 4 u too.
if u can’t dare 2 accept the truth its not my headache. chairman of banks said 136 score can also b taken bcoz last time they were criticized for giving opportunity only 4 toppers. n u hav taken this argument as god’s promise. U hav not understand my real intention, i wanted 2 highlight the fact that banks arranged this 2 avoid muliple selection problem , its not 2 take 136 score . i used that ATTITUDE for khushi for her get rid of study attitude n her hope that people with high scores wil not do well in interview n people with low scores wil do well in interview. we all here want everybody 2 do well but people like khushi n u think the world can work as per ur imaginations n not on the facts n truth, the truth is if there r 20,000 vacancies than only top 35,000 as per writ. marks wil hav the chance. n don’t tell people at 50,000 rank 2 lose hope ,tel them 2 go to interview with full preparation n take experience of it n improve it the day when u wil hav the real chance n start preparing 4 sbi n other exam n one day u wil get the job but don’t take study n competition as a burden , everybody here has a dream of job n nobody can decide ur destiny its only u who can change things 4 u.
@ divya:
if madam khushi would hav scored 170 she wil be giving GOOD HOPE 2 all 170 plus candidates. so don’t post that people like her n sachin should be given jobs. n by the way is there any concept of good hope n bad hope??
those who wil be selected below 150 wil be exceptions against the fact they performed OUTSTANDING n persons above 165 hav performed too bad. don’t u think that outstanding performance wil b the hard work plus luck. n those 165 plus persons who hav also worked hard but just a bad day cost their chances for all 20 banks so don’t think selfishly that now everybody who scored low wil b LUCKY n who scored high wil b UNLUCKY. any body who works hard n has a good day (means gives his best on that particular day) but generally 90% people do as per their preparation. 5 % under perform n 5 % over perform.
motivation starts with accepting the reality n working on all areas of improvements. u people just thinks urself perfect n ur IMAGINATIONS over perfect. can u give me a simple calculation how a person with 140 score can beat a person with 170 score in 80:20.
banks r going 2 introduce 60 % graduation n 28 max. age limit from next year ,
can’t u people think it is just going 2 eliminate people from DU N CALCUTTA n other such universities where 60 % marks is very tough 2 get. n all those people from rural india who hav not best of resources to study how many of them scored below 50% in grad. but cracked exams.
these people r making policies 4 their own benefits n not u AAM AADMI. common interview is 2 eliminate multiple selection n win-win situation 4 banks its not made 4 the sake of our benefit.

@rana.. hi. I m also frm bhagalpur and gurukul student.rit now i m in sbi in maharashtra.
anyone fron uttarakhand who got his/her interview on 23rd jan 8:30…?
anyone from uttarakhand who gave his/her ibps po 2 interview on 23rd jan. 83:30 am …?
sorry its 8:30 am
my interview was on 22nd jan 11.30 am in coimbatore and i was called for intervoiew by 6.30 as i was last candidate in my panel 1 so i had interview for abt 10-15 mins but others had abt 20-40 mins also.
The questions they asked me….
1)difficulty of women in banking
2)Will u go if u r transfered anywhere in india
3)tell us abt ur husband and father
4)what is financial inclusion
5)what is letter of credit
6)what is foriegn trade
7)who is the president of srilanka and australia
8)chief minister of gujarat
9)who is Margeret thacther
10)where is RBI
11)abt my native
one more important information is that the OBC certificate should be in IBPS format only and character certificate should be of recent date only.
what anony is saying with reading that i can say anony belongs to a general cattegory nd u r a top scorer. and also she is a girl. i m right na and u r saying this becauz somewhere and somehow u r feeling insecure about it. jinko smjhna hai wo smjh chuke honge mai kya kahna chahti hu. guys 1 month ke bad isi site pe aap dekho ge ki 135 wale kisi na kisi student ka bhi selection hua hai. apko pata hona chahiye in ibps 1 also kuch students jinka 180+ hai selection nahi ho paya hai but kuch students jinka 150 bhi tha selection hogaya why? waise yaha khud sb smjhdar hai. faltu ke baato pe dhyan mt dijiye apni taraf se puri koshish kijiye. or maine pehle bhi kaha hai selection nahi hone se life khatm nahi ho jayegi. everyone try to do ur best chances r there. jst enjoy the experience of common interview. mai to anony jee ka result abhi hi jaan chuki hu kya hoga. but lets see. aur koshish kijiye koi undertaking na bharna pade. have all documents with u.
divya u r right. but this information is wrong about 80:20. i know it is written in the official site but this is not going to be happened. form fill up karte samay ye bhi likha hota hai ki 4 galti pe 1 marks deduct hoga but kya aisa hota hai, nahi na. very frankly now i will say i challenge u if any candidate is having 135 marks also nd they r having good communication skill, good attitude with polite behaviour, and best expressing views and also if they had submitted all the documents without undertaking. and they r having good educational background then that candidate will surely be selected. and the top scorers if they had got 220 also and they r not possessing this qualities means communication skill is not nice, bad attitude with aggressive behaviour nd not having manner to talk nyone, no expressing power. then it is confirmed that bank doesnt need such type of people in the bankig field. and this is reality u trust or not. nd guys those who r having problem with me jst dont argue with me. i m posting the comments for those people who can nd who want 2 trust me. aisa bhi nahi hai ki mai high scorer ke khilaf hu if they will also perform well in the interview then they will surely be selected. becauz they deserve it. what u all think m i wrong.
Kindly Explain and give me the website Link where is written 80:20 for CWE to Interview coz i am not able to get it
@Kushi
Well said & Thanks for ur translation in English yesterday.
Khushiji, thanks for your comment on the ratio of written and interview.can you know whether ECGC will take part in the current recruitment process or not?please inform!thanks in advance.
hello friends, I had my interview today !!! Panel was friendly. I heard a good news that vacancies will be minimum of 30,000. And are planning to increase some 2000 or 3000 vacancies. And interview is for 100 marks. Same will be converted into 50. Im 100 % sure abt that. Maximum marks will be awarded to any candidate will be 85. Not more than than a candidate can get. Any panel will not fail a candidate in interview and minimum of 50 will be awarded to all candidates. So be cool and calm. All the best folks :)

@chennaiwala, Hey i wont chnage my name like u & don’t be in wrong conception that i am low scrorer. I believe i scored more than u, my score is 173. Y i wrote above commnet that, pepole should’t ignore others and u 1st try to cultivat good attitude then talk abt high/low scorers. And i am not giving hope, its fact, even a candidate with 190 marks and won’t perfoem in interview or show attitude like u means definitely he will be thrown out.
U mind ur attitude 1st bro… 4 ur kind info i am already a PO and i have been a part of d document verification team … i no much much more than any of u here… no candidate will be failed in d interview, it wont be an elimination process, so low scorers have very less chance
@ khushi:
if someone ask u 2 speak in hindi 4 five min. only u wil use urdu english n rajbhasha words more than hindi words , so respect every language, if majority of indian speak hindi it does not mean other languages r inferior 2 us. our former PM. narsimha rao could speak 16 languages.
u talk like raj thakrey from mumbai, against all north n south indians ,
in case u guess wrong i m from u p, a north indian.
ur attitude wil not help u rather it wil trouble who believe u……..

Hi banking aspirants. …
Just don’t waste ur time in minding comments….any 1 cant predict an accurate criteria of ibps….just wait for what ibps do. …wait for a couple f weeks. ….n now kindly start preparing for sbi po….best of luck to u all….
@khushi:
1. u said all 25 cand. were in ascending order.
2. u said int. has 100 marks.
3. u said out of every 25, 8 wil b selected
4. u said ibps officials r saying 2 press there wil b 80:20 but it wil not happen bcoz u know everything n negative marking is not as mentioned.
Did u write all these things while playing with ur barbie doll.
u speak childish but as u r adult now it sounds idiotic. n anony is a boy. don’t tell u r smarter than anyone here. u know ur result before u guess others results…. ok
u behave like ABSENT Libraries n photocopied mind.
my intw was on 22 jan and the pannel asked me to introduce myself, then they asked me whether i have read thats day newspaper or not, then they asked me 7-8 questions all related to the company where i m presently working……..then they immediately said thank u mam…………they all were in very jolly mood as i had the interview just after the lunch break……..in my views they were satisfied with my ans…..bt rest depends upon the luck
best of luck for all interviewees for their result
@khushi:
for ur unkind information ibps exam has given Q. marks as per the difficulty level of that ques. some Q. were of 4 marks some were just 0.5 marks and they used Stan. Dev. n other methods used in GATE n other exams to set criteria n every paper separately , as obvious people like u just don’t inspect anything n misguide others also,
1. there was not any order of 25 group cand. every group was arranged randomly specially for people like u 2 make all assumption.
2. u said 8 persons wil b selected from every 25 batch,
in some batches of 25 there were 19 persons absented so u shud go on facebook n do ur chit chat over there,
3. here people discuss real problems n u said 2 some persons even if u hav not ans. Q. in interview u need not 2 worry, what the hell is this, they hav every reason 2 worry, u said u know my result already, Do u know urs, definitely not, thats why u r doing this all wishful thinking, people like u always give excuses for failures n think ur wishes hav all the powers to say that 80:20 is said but wil not b applied bcoz u want it so badly, go see ur face in mirror if God has given eyes 2 u, rather than misguiding people here……

aap galat soch rahe hai ki mai high scorer ko demolise kr rahi hu. maine aisa kbhi comment nahi kiya. always i had said if any high scorer does well in interview then they will also have their result nd really they deserve also. lekin agar aap ye kahiyega ki low scorer walo ka interview dene ka koi fayda nahi hai kyuki unka selection nahi ho skta or na hi hoga to is baat se mai sehmat nahi hu. agar aisi hi baat thi to direct aap jaise or mujh jaise high scorer ko directly appointment letter kyu nahi de diya gaya. dekhiye mujhe apse ab koi bahash nahi krni hai. aap jaise mean log mujhe bilkul pasand nahi hai jo sirf khud ke liye sochte hai. and for ur kind information my score is 180 nd i m a computer honours student with 75% marks in graduation. isliye better dusro ko khud se kam mt smjhiye. and u cant say like this ki jinka marks kam hai wo mehnat nahi krte or jinka marks 170+ hota hai bahut mehnat krte hai. this is totally wrong aisi baat krke apne kitno ka dil dukhaya hoga nd spne sbhi dekhte hai or sb unko pura krne mei lage hue hai. but ye jo luck hota haina bahut bara role play krta hai. aap kehna chahte hai first ibps po mei jis student ko 180 aaya tha wo is baar paas bhi nahi kr paya. to aap kya kahenge is baar uske mehnat mei kmi aa gayi ya phir first time luckly 180 aa gaya yaa phir 180 lane ke liye usne bahut mehnat kiya tha or is baar wo unluckly paas nahi kr paya.bahut logo ke sath bahut si paresaniya or majburiya hoti hai. aapko jo accha lagta hai kijiye, sochiye ya phir kahiye. but ye mera last comment hai apko kyuki aap jaise bhi hai, jo bhi hai khud ke liye hai. apka nature jaisa bhi ho usse ek din aap khud apne liye hi problem create karenge. jo acche hai, jo khud ke saath saath dusro ke liye bhi sochte hai unke sath khud hi ek din accha hoga. or ek baat agar maine santosh jee ko galat kaha to maine commit bhi kiya or sorry bhi bola. aur unhone except bhi kiya. and easy way may matter over. pr aap jaise log hi aag mei ghee dalne ka kaam karte hai. apne iss site ko apne arrogant behaviour se bakwas bana diya. i jst hate the people like u. fir bhi lastly mai apko bhi sorry bolti hu apki khusi ke liye. but mai apne najar mei sahi hu. anyways now goodbye two all my frnds nd best of luck 2 all the candidates and have faith on god sb accha hoga nd hamesh yaad rakhiyega life mei jo hota hai hamesha acche ke liye hota hai……….
mai aaplogo se ab result wale din hi baat karungi. aur anony jee ko smjhana mere bas ki baat to nahi hai kyuki wo sirf khud ki sunte hai, khud ki sochte hai, or khud ki hi karte honge. but lastly mai sare candidate chahe wo low scorer ho ya phir high scorer try to give ur best in the interview. aapka chance bhi ban skta hai. anony jee jaise logo ke baato pe dhyan mt dijiye. hope for the best. agr aap deserve krte hai to jrur payenge or nahi bhi ho paye to kya gm hai hamara to kaam hi hai mehnat krna or krte rahenge or ek din hame hamari manjil bhi jrur milegi…………………………….. all d best!!!
