Bank PO Interview Questions for Engineering Graduates
For last few years engineers have been cracking IBPS / RRB / SBI and other Public Sector Bank exams in large numbers. There are various reasons for this surge, the primary being – increased dependence of Banking on technology which has led to favourable conditions for engineers even for generalist officers’ job. The other reasons are:
- More and more engineering graduates are being attracted towards lucrative Banking career
- Engineers are more likely to score higher in Quantitative and Logical Reasoning sections of MCQ exams.
Although engineers do get a competitive edge in written exam, the personal interview of Bank PO is a different ball game altogether.
