It was a fun filled Interview. But there are no much technical questions. So I can’t predict what the score will be. Hope for the Best.
My Suggestion: Learn all the Basic Banking Details. Prepare yourself for the questions they may ask about your hobby, Strength & Weakness. I mainly suggest go through all theBanking Drive, Soul Banking Awareness & Spark plug articles of GradeStack blog. It will help you more.
Thanks to Neeraj sir & Anjali mam for helping me & for all. Thanks a Lot.
Have Trust in yourself.
Make others to trust in you
Thanks,
