Bank Recruitment 2010 - 22000 PSB vacancies

February 25, 2010

Bank recruitment in India has always been good – if you had followed this blog closely for last one year, you must have found that even in the worst time of recession, banking sector continued to churn out huge number of recruitments, in different positions such as Clerks, Probationary Officers (PO) as well as Specialist officers in the field of IT, Finance, Legal, Security, Research & Planning.

And if this story of today’s Economic Times (dtd. 25/02/2010) is to be believed, recruitment in Public Sector Banks (PSB) in 2010/2011 would be huge – 22,000! Quoting from this story:

…Banks are firming up their recruitment drive and have already initiated the process. According to the director of Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS), M Balachandran, the staff shortage may far exceed 22,000. “The banks have more stringent in their recruitment process, but given the expansion that banks are looking for they’ll far exceed these numbers,” he said….

Why Banks are going in for such huge recruitment?
The two reasons bank recruitments are being planned in so huge numbers:
1.0 The rapid expansions drive being planned by the banks.
2.0 Vacancies created by large scale superannuation of the bank employees.

Want a bank job, that too a secured PSB bank job?
If you want to use this huge opportunity for a bank job, than it is the right time to prepare for it. Let me tell you bank recruitment exams are easy and moreover, once if you prepare for one bank exam, you can keep on appearing in almost all exams without any further preparation.

How and Why? Because the patterns of recruitment exams of all banks are identical with following four exam sections/papers:
1.0 Test of Reasoning
2.0 English Language
3.0 Quantitative Aptitude
4.0 General Awareness.
Also, in most of the bank exams, in the written test where descriptive paper is also asked (in addition to the objective questions papers), the subject is “Descriptive Test in English”.

Read more about the similarity of bank exam pattern in my previous blog post titled: Bank Exam pattern analysis: Similarity in Bank Exams – it establishes the similarity by giving you the exam pattern of six major banks – SBI, IOB, UBI, PNB, RBI & Andhra bank.

The similarity in bank exam pattern can also be attributed by the fact that the bank recruitment is done through a common body called IBPS (Institute of Banking Personnel Selection), which helps the bank in selecting, placing and promoting employees. IBPS alone has processed over 70 lakh applications this year.

So prepare only for once for the bank exams and than keep appearing for the bank exams one after another till you succeed, depending on your eligibility and preference. I am sure you are going to be one of those 22,000 successful candidates!

Where to find those Bank Recruitment Notifications?
The banks put up the recruitment notification in leading news paper dailies, Employment News as well as in the bank websites in recruitment/career section. Which are these bank websites?

You would find these websites in my previous blog article titled: Bank Recruitment Notifications and Result websites – which list the recruitment website links of following 21 public sector banks along with RBI:
State Bank of India, Allahabad Bank, Andhra Bank, Bank of Baroda, Bank of India, Bank of Maharashtra, Canara Bank, Central Bank of India, Corporation Bank, Dena Bank, IDBI Bank, Indian Bank, Indian Overseas Bank, Oriental Bank of Commerce, Punjab National Bank, State Bank of Mysore, Syndicate Bank, UCO Bank, Union Bank of India, United Bank of India, Vijaya Bank.

The same blog post also gives you the bank recruitment webpage’s of following 13 private sector banks:
Bank of Rajasthan, Axis Bank (Previously known as UTI Bank), Catholic Syrian Bank, Dhanalakshmi Bank, Federal Bank, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, ING Vysya Bank, Jammu & Kashmir Bank, Karnataka Bank, Karur Vysya Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, YES Bank.

Keep visiting those bank recruitment websites from time to time. Also, keep visiting this blog, as it provides you not only information about bank recruitment notifications but also provides you the study materials for the bank recruitment exams, for example: this blog article on SBI Bank PO Exam Sample Papers, Books & Exam Pattern!

WIPRO Campus Interview Questions, Exam Pattern & Prep Books

February 21, 2010

WIPRO Campus Interview Questions Exam Pattern
IT major WIPRO is going for massive campus recruitment in 2010/11 and plans to hire 7500 freshers. Not only WIPRO, but also other IT companies are going for huge campus recruitment in the coming days. If this story of Economic Times dtd. 15th Feb 2010 is to be believed, the headcount in IT industry is expected to go up by more than 98,000. Quoting Economic Times:

Of the 12 companies which have announced their hiring plans, BPO giant Genpact said it would hire 10,000 people. Besides, IBM is looking at recruiting 5,000 followed by Infosys BPO (2,000), Accenture (8,000) and Mphasis (2,000).

Going by Gartner estimates, the domestic IT market is expected to grow by 19-20 per cent in 2010, a sharp rise against a 2.6 per cent growth in 2009.

This blog post is therefore being made to help the freshers know what is the selection process in a WIPRO campus interview – the exam pattern and would point you to the sources where you can find the WIPRO Interview questions so that you can base your preparations for it. You can also read my previous blog article: WIPRO Freshers Recruitment 2010:engineering/non-engineering which tells you what are the eligibilities for a WIPRO fresher and how to apply for it.


WIPRO Campus Interview selection process:
The selection process in a campus interview session normally kicks off with a 20 minute PPT (Pre-Placement Talk) presentation by WIPRO HR guys in which you are told about the company, what it looks for you and what you can expect after joining it. You should pay proper attention to these presentations, as you can answer many HR interview questions from the information gathered from this PPT presentation.

How does a PPT presentation looks like? You can experience it from the NEPIF you-tube video below (WIPRO BPO PPT on 25th aug, 2007 at Guwahati univeristy, Assam):


Thereafter, the WIPRO Campus Interview selection commences in following 3 stages:
1.0 Written Aptitude Test.
2.0 Technical Interview.
3.0 HR Interview.
What is the cut-off in WIPRO selection process? This is the most asked question by freshers vying for a WIPRO job. Well let me tell you that no one can tell you what is the cut-off at various stages, as the cut-off depends upon the relative performance of fellow-freshers, with whom you are competing for the WIPRO job. Till the exam is completed and the marks are assessed, no one have any idea who would score how much.

So depending upon the relative performance of all freshers for that particular Campus Interview and also how many positions are open, the cut-off is decided on the spot by WIPRO HR guys on that day. Your task is therefore very well defined – try to score as much as possible in all the three stages.

Let us go into detail of the three stages of WIPRO campus recruitment process.

WIPRO Campus Interview Written Aptitude Test questions:
There are 50 questions in 3 sections of the WIPRO written test –Verbal, Quantitative and Technical aptitude, with distribution of questions as below:
1. Verbal Aptitude- 15 questions.
2. Quantitative Aptitude – 15 questions.
3. Technical Aptitude -20 questions.
In some cases, number of questions may also be Verbal=20, Quantitative=20 and Technical=10.

What sorts of questions are asked in these WIPRO written aptitude tests?
1. Verbal Aptitude Questions:
Fill in the blanks with correct words, analogies, deriving conclusion, logical sequence of sentences, identifying the wrong sentences, meaning of word, passages etc.

2. Quantitative Aptitude Questions:
Time and work, speed and distance, profit& loss, number series, seating arrangement, coding decoding, ages, blood relationship, probability, permutation and combination etc.

3. Technical Aptitude Questions:
C (factorial of a no., sum of 5 elements in an array, basic concepts of pointers, structure), C++, data base, Java, Unix commands.

For non-IT/CS freshers, you do not have to bother about database, java etc. and also the cut-offs in this section would be much less.

There is sectional cut-off for each of these three sections – so you have to do well in each section. There is however no negative marks.

Books for WIPRO Campus Interview written tests:
You can refer the following books for preparation of WIPRO written test:
1. For Verbal Aptitude:
Cover Price:Rs. 375

Barrons GRE by Samuel C. Brownstein, Mitchel Weiner and Sharon Weiner Green
Cover Price:Rs. 425, Offer Price:Rs. 310, Discount:Rs. 115 (27%)

2. For Quantitative Aptitude:
Cover Price:Rs. 250

3. For Technical Aptitude:
Cover Price:Rs. 240, Offer Price:Rs. 228, Discount:Rs. 12 (5%).

WIPRO Technical Interview Questions:
As you clear the first hurdle of the WIPRO screening process i.e. the written test, you would be called for the technical interview. The questions in the technical interview mostly revolves round your academic project.
You can visit following two websites on WIPRO Technical Interview Questions:

WIPRO HR Interview Questions:
This is the final hurdle between you and the dream WIPRO job. But do not worry much about the WIPRO HR Interview. The questions asked are very general and if you maintain your cool and be confident, you can clear the HR interview very easily. As told before, you can answer many HR interview questions from the information gathered from this PPT presentation.

Following are some sample HR interview questions:
1) How was your technical interview.
2) Tell us about yourself
3) What do you know about WIPRO
4) Why should we hire you
4) What difference do you bring if we hire you.
5). What is the first thing that you are going to do after joining our company.

You can visit following two websites on WIPRO HR Interview Questions:

Hope with above WIPRO Campus Interview Exam Pattern, Interview questions and prep books you would be able to crack the placement event very easily. I would be on the look out for more information on WIPRO placement event and post the same here. So keep checking this blog.

Best wishes!

Infosys campus recruitment for freshers in engineering institutes takes place from May to September while in management institutes campus recruitment takes place from December to March.

If your institute already has a tie-up with Infosys for campus recruitment, than get in touch with your placement coordinator to know when Infosys is coming for the next campus recruitment.

On the other hand, if Infosys has never visited your college for campus recruitment but you think that the college/student standard can impress Infosys HR to consider for campus recruitment than get in touch with Infosys at mail-id careersquery@infosys.com.

Power Grid ET Exam Sample Papers, Books and Exam Pattern

February 10, 2010

Power Grid ET Exam Sample Papers Books and Exam Pattern
This blog post is a sequel to my earlier blog article titled "PGCIL ET Recruitment 2011 Notification, Eligibility & Forms", which gives you introductory information on Power Grid Corporation as well as how to apply for the Executive Trainee positions.

The focus of this blog post is to help you prepare for the Power Grid exam by telling you what the Power Grid test pattern is and by giving you the sources to download model/sample/past years papers for exams similar to Power Grid. Further, it would also give you the list of some books for preparation of Power Grid exam.

At first let us begin this by knowing Power Grid written test pattern.

Power Grid ET Exam Pattern:
Power Grid written test consists of two papers: Technical Knowledge Test (TKT) &Executive Aptitude Test (EAT). While the questions of Aptitude test is common, questions of the Technical test would depend on which disciplines (Electrical or Finance) you have applied for.

There are 120 questions in Technical test & 50 in Aptitude – so a total of 170 multiple-choice questions, which needs to be answered in 2 hours. Thus you have 40 seconds aprox. to answer each question – the questions as such are not difficult and therefore your main focus would be time-management to answer maximum questions correctly.
Notes of caution: There is negative marking: 1/4th mark will be deducted for each wrong answer. So if you make a guess, make it wisely!

For Aptitude test the questions asked are on vocabulary, verbal comprehension, quantitative aptitude, reasoning ability, ability to determine data sufficiency, interpretation of graphs/charts/tables, numerical ability etc.

Power Grid ET exam papers:
I had searched on the net for for Power Grid ET exam sample/model/previous years paper but could not find any website where you can find them. However, I could find some papers of NTPC ET exam which can be used by you, just to know the standard of questions. Exam patten of NTPC is identical to Power Grid.

These papers are:
Placementpapers.net
Placementpapers have a good collection of NTPC test papers of previous years. Click here to find these NTPC papers.

123eng.com
Another good site where you can find some more NTPC papers is 123eng.com. Click here to find these NTPC papers.

All the above papers should be used with a pinch of salt – I found many of them repeated in more than website. Therefore, you can use the following books as preparatory material for the Power Grid test for Executive Trainees. You can also use these sample papers for aptitude test which I had posted for SBI PO exam, as the sections of the Aptitude tests are similar.

Books for Power Grid test for Executive Trainees:
I found following books on net for preparation for Public Sector Executive Trainee Exams, which can be used for PGCIL exams too. These books are available in most of the bookstores, but you can also order them online by clicking the links below, from Flipkart.com which offers huge discounts upto 25%, apart from free shipping/postage in India if the order exceeds Rs. 100/=. You can choose to pay through Credit Card/Debit Card/Internet Banking. You can also choose to pay through “Cash-on-Delivery” i.e. you pay in cash only when the same is delivered at your doorstep:

For Aptitude Test:
List Price: Rs.220, Offer Price: Rs.169, Discount: Rs. 51(23%)

List Price: Rs. 415, Offer Price:Rs. 303 Discount: Rs. 112 (27%)

List Price: Rs.160, Offer Price: Rs.130, Discount: Rs. 30(19%)

For Technical Test:
Following books for competitive exams (electrical engineering) should help you prepare for Power Grid ET exam:
List Price: Rs.480, Offer Price: Rs.480.
List Price: Rs.460, Offer Price: Rs.414, Discount: Rs.46 (10%)

Power Grid GD topics/Interview questions:
Post PGCIL written test, you have to appear for GD & Interview.
For GD, you may go through the blog post of mine titled Group Discussion for job, which tells you nuances of GD and how to prepare for it. Also for preparation of interview, check my other blog post titled: Interview for Jobs.

I am sorry but I could not find any sample papers/books for Power Grid exam for finance discipline. If you know of any such book for preparation of Power Grid exam for Finance discipline, I would love if you post them as comments below.

Hope above preparatory materials (Sample Papers & Books) for Power Grid Executive Trainee test help you to win that coveted job in Power Grid.
Best wishes!
