ICICI BANK PO Experience ! !

ANY BANK PO , this will be useful :

This posts are useful for any kind of BANK PO exams , so follow this rules :

Recently I applied for ICICI bank Probationary Officer's (2010) & I am shortlisted to appear for written test , I successfully cleared my written test and group discussion and also attended personal Interview .. So I would like to share my experiences regarding the above 3 selection procedures :

Before entering into the particulars of the exam I would like to unveil my personal details : I am a under graduate pursuing my final semester B-tech/BE in a esteemed college and having an aggregate of not less than 70 and applied for ICICI on 16th December 2009 and I received a message for written test around 25th january and asked to apply for a slot online in the renowned cities and I applied and attempted my written test successfully :

1. Total 5 sections , after completion of 1 section only, u will move to next one :
2. Each section has different number of questions and their corresponding time :
3. Total 44minutes online exam :
4. Different paper for everyone :
5. Each section has individual cut-off , so every section is important .
6. You have to perform every section equally else you will be . . .. . !
   

SECTION 1:

PASSAGES :

5 passages each passage contains 2 questions total 10 - Direct Questions , passages are 6-7 lines only , I am not sure about the time for this section but I hope it's 8minutes.
The bits from passages mostly are true / false . Just read the passage once and if you are talented enough you can answer questions in one-go :
I did very well and I am sure that atleast 9 out of 10 are correct : So you can also do it very easily , preparation is mostly not required .

SECTION 2 :

APTITUDE :

There are around 15 questions in this section and not so tough but the time is less so you have to be quick to solve this section , general knowledge is enough to solve this section but the only factor is time , the time is around 18mins and if you prepare RS AGGARWAL its more than enough , this section is also easy no worry .

I completed around 12qns in given time and remaining 3 just marked as a fluke.

SECTION 3 :

VERBAL SECTION :

This section contains English and little bit English sense is required to complete this section , it contains fill in the blanks type questions and you just need to identify the appropriate word and mark it as answer , all the 4 options given to each qn are very close to each other so be wary before opting the answer , it contains 10-15 questions and time is around 5-6 minutes .

Time is not a factor in this section , no need to worry :

SECTION 4 :

DIAGRAMS AND SHAPES , ODD FIGURE OUT :

As the name suggests this section contains 4 diagrams , 3 are given and based on those three you have to find out the next one , in the 4 options u will have the missing diagram , its very very easy among all the 4 sections , but time is very less , 10-12 questions for around 7minutes.

This doesn't require any preparation , time is a factor here , manage your time :

SECTION 5 :

VERBAL REASONING :

Here in this section a word will be given and you have to identify a word which is closer to it by its synonym mostly or antonym rarely and time is also less her , around 15 questions for 6minutes , but we can do it easily if u are little bit good in English .

This marks the end of written aptitude exam and after 10-15 days you will receive a mail if you cleared the written aptitude exam .
