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 .

In my other post you can see my next level of selection procedure click on this to view the GD/PI procedure .

ICICI GD/PI EXPERIENCE

ICICI GD / Personal Interview Experience :

If you have cleared the Written Aptitude Test then , th e next stage of the Selection Process would include:

1. Profiling.

2. Group Discussion,

3. Interview

You are requested to report for the Group Discussion on mentioned Date-Time-Venue:

Note:

1. Before appearing for the GD/PI, you are requested to complete the online personality questionnaire.
2. Instructions, along with user name and password, to complete the personality profiling are mentioned.

Only those clearing the Group Discussion will qualify for the next Stage Interview.

You are required to complete an online Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ) before you appear for the GD-PI , the details are sent to via EMAIL :

• Clear instructions are given at the outset of the exercise - Please read them completely. The questionnaire consists of a number of WebPages having 104 questions each having 4 statements - out of which you must choose one statement which is most like you and one that is least like you.
• Unless you select one most likely and one least likely answer, system will not allow you to go to next page. Also system will not allow going back and changing the answers. Please put yourself in a work situation while answering the questions and not social settings.
• Please answer as truthfully and consistently with your feelings. There are inbuilt checks in the questionnaire to detect faked results. Do not ponder too long on questions and try to guess what ICICI Bank will be looking for.
• There are no right or wrong answers. I advise you to go with your first instincts and respond spontaneously.
  

You have to complete this OPQ before attending the exam , and coming to GD :

• I had my GD on 13 feb 2010 but due to TELANGANA agitation the GD is postponed to 17 feb 2010 in HYDERABAD .
• Before going to our GD we are asked to submit our certificates along with resume : then after sometime we entered into the GD room :
• By 10:00 AM our batch had GD , I had 15 in my group . An HR person gave us some 4pages and asked us to go through it and speak about it after 15mins .
• The topic issued to us is " Money , Money sweeter tha HONEY :"
• After reading that article given to us , the overall concept given to us can be outlined as "How will u share the funds as a student president among different commitee's like sports , canteen , admission viz. "
• While we are reading , the 3HR persons keenly observed at us eating snacks , after 15mins the GD started and GD head asked the 1st person in the row to start the discussion , where I am the 2nd one :
• After few members expressed their view , I too expressed my view in a short and clear way which is accepted by others too :
• We had 15mins to share our ideas , at last HR asked us to stop and gave chances to persons who didn't have a chance to speak .Out of 15 , 3were eliminated and I am lucky that I am not in the group of losers .
• The people who are given chance to speak at last are also in the winning team , don't bother that i couldn/t speak in the given time :
• Then we moved on to Personal interview :

The personal interview is only for few minutes and the basic questions like tell me about your profile , ARE U MOBILE ? The qns like this are asked and this is as easy as you express :

That's all regarding ICICI selection procedure , its not as tough as you feel or not as easy as u think , so be confident and valiant , BYE BYE .
