RRB PO Interview
How to enjoy and crack interview- 5 minutes of reading this
blog and you are IN!
Hello Friends,
Once again we are here to share some important and essential guidelines/tips for
interview. You are just one step away from your dream being true and it is high time to prove
yourself.
It is a 100% assurance from our side that after you finish reading of this article, you will be
confident/clever and strong enough to crack this upcoming interview. So let’s start from
the scratch and try to understand the concept of an interview.
Scenario:
Interviewer: Introduce yourself!
Candidate: Hmm….. I am ….. I had….. I did…… I am interested…..I have….My father……….
Hold ON! Hold ON! Do you really think interviewer wants to hear all these things? Do you
really think that Form that you have applied before written examination doesn’t contain all
these stuffs? Or Do you think they are not having any details of yours and they have
randomly picked you for interview? - Answer is a big NO!
Ok, now we are on track to start our tips and be very attentive and careful. Let’s break the
word- Interview as Inter + View= View between two groups = Communication between two
groups. It is just a simple both-way communication which is totally different with written
examination where course and syllabus are pre-defined. Ok, One more question- have you
ever heard about the syllabus for an interview for any examination. That is the only
difference where you have to think, why there is no syllabus. Because if you are speaking to
any friends, relatives, elder members – you don’t decide your topic of discussion, have you?
So take interview as that only- It is just a simple communication.
Tips and Tricks:
Interview is all about two things only =”Content – what to speak” + “Mode of Delivery
– How to speak”. So, in all below points we will give you tips on both part.
1) Be attacking rather than defensive: Your first 3-4 minutes are very crucial
although it is not deciding factor, but you may build a perfect impression in those
minutes. Keep one thing in mind- First 2-3 questions will be only for your details,
which no one knows better than you and you can’t be wrong for that. So 1st part
Visit Online Test Series: test.ambitiousbaba.com
‘Content’ is 100% ok, now 2nd part ‘Mode of Delivery’ is only thing that candidate
has to focus. You just be yourself and make a perfect eye contact with each one who
are present there in panel and just speak your heart out.
2) Hold your nerves - As you are just one step away from your job, so it is most
natural and clear obvious that everyone is having fear of losing and eventually panic.
But believe in one thing that it happens to everyone not only you! So, does it means
they are not going to select any one. Those who may hold their nerves only for 5-10
minutes will win the race. Whatever fear and panic you are, just forget for at least 10
minutes as soon as you enter in panel room. Consider a situation you are trapped in
locked room and you have to escape- do you think of plan or just be panic. Similarly,
you have to keep your mind open in that room.
3) Relax before interview: Had a good sleep a night before. You just forget that you
are going for an interview and just jerk off if any thought is prickling in your mind
while sleeping.
4) Is language barrier: Don’t think about your speaking language is barrier or hurdle.
Whichever language you are comfortable – start speaking on that. Let interviewer
should ask about comfort ability. An important scenario here: If Interviewer asks
any question in English and you just started replying in Hindi. Here wait for a
minute and observe either interviewer again asking question in English or Hindi. If
that is Hindi, you are now on a comfortable seat and go on. If again he asks question
in English you have to be bit diplomatic here and reply very humbly here like: Sir, I
may reply to your question in English also, but I am more comfortable in Hindi. Do
you want me to go on with Hindi? That’s all.. You won a point here. Taking
permission is the biggest point in any game. Depending upon his answer, you please
continue. So here Content and mode of delivery – both will be 100% OK.
5) Drive the Car: Last but not least, this is most important part of your interview.
Drive the car here means drive the interview as the way you want to. You may not be
seating on driving seat of the car but you may navigate the route to driver. Exactly
the same you have to do here – If you are giving question confidently – Interviewers
are bound to go in that direction only. If you know something, you may drive them
in that direction. Interviewer will also love to go with your flows.
6) Cover all the important topic of your graduation and post graduation subjects:
In interview it is very necessary to have knowledge about your domain subjects. It
always gives you an edge over others and always have a good impression on the
interviewer.

So try to revise all the important topics or have at least some knowledge about main
topics of your graduation and post graduation.
Be True, confident, active and most important well dressed up. I have never seen any
interviewer comes up with a mind set to test your technical skills. They are just to check
your way of representation. So go with full preparedness and it is just an advice have a
small mock interview of yourself 2-3 days earlier in front of mirror and prepare few
question like this:
• Introduce yourself.
• Your interest areas.
• Examination related topic like banking awareness.
For any doubts, concern Visit us! We are here to help you for crossing the hurdle and
earning Success. Always remember- Success must be earned not only received!
Because this is the first question so the candidate must give a short and effective answer.
You might be nervous at the beginning but remember to keep a smile on your face.
Where have you come from and what is famous in your city?
The candidate must tell about his place of living- city and state. If the board further asks
about any specifications, then name of the district etc. should be told. He/she must tell
about the famous things of his place. For ex:- a candidate from Lucknow may tell about
Imambara, chicken clothes, “tehzeeb” of Lucknow etc. The key things to deal this question
effectively are:-
- The candidate must know about the local MLA and MP from his area. If any renowned
personality belongs to that area, you should be aware of the details.
- He must have full knowledge about that place, its history, famous monuments,
personalities, rivers, at times even number of railway stations in the city etc., also about the
politics of that state-CM and ruling party and all other nitty gritties of his place.
- A good answer to such questions leaves a very positive impact on the board as it
demonstrates your awareness about the surroundings and the fact that you are well
prepared puts you ahead of others.
look like you don’t have an option so you are choosing it. You can also expect some
questions from academics. A science stream student may be asked about about Newton’s
Law etc. So, you must also prepare the subjects studied by you in the degree.
What are your career goals? Where do you see yourself five years from
now? Ten years?
Most importantly be realistic Blue sky stuff brands you as immature. One or two
management jumps in three to five years is a reasonable goal. If your track indicates you
are on line for senior management in ten years its okay to mention. However if you have
had a rocky road its better to be introspective.
I have completed B-Tech. If interviewer ask why are you wanted to join
banking sector instead of doing engineering field? what should be the
my answer?
Just tell them that banking industry is developing in such way that it gives a lot of career
opportunity and also you are very much attracted with the respect people have towards a
bank employee...especially say the banks name in which you are called for.. say something
about the technological advancement in the banking industry that attracted you most.

History
Regional Rural Banks were established under the provisions of an Ordinance passed on
26th September,1975 and the RRB Act 1976 to provide sufficient banking and credit
facility for agriculture and other rural sectors.As a result Five Regional Rural Banks were
set up on 2nd October,1975,Gandhi Jayanti. These were set up on the recommendations
of The narshimham committee Working Group during the tenure of Indira Gandhi's
Government with a view to include rural areas into economic mainstream since that time
about 70% of the Indian Population was of Rural Orientation. The development process of
RRBs started on 2nd October,1975,Gandhi Jayanti with the forming of the first RRB, the
Prathama Bank,Head Office at Moradabad (U.P.) with authorised capital of Rs 5 crore at
its starting.As on 2nd October,1975 Out of the remaining four RRBs in the country one
was Set up at Malda in West Bengal under the name of Gour Gramin Bank,which was
the first RRB in the Eastern Region of India.
The Regional Rural Banks were owned by the Central Government, the State Government
and the Sponsor Bank (Any commercial bank can sponsor the regional rural banks) who
held shares in the ratios as follows Central Government – 50%, State Government –
15% and Sponsor Banks – 35%.
Note: RRB are recognized by the law and they have legal significance. The Regional
Rural Banks Act, 1976 Act No. 21 Of 1976
Recapitalization
Subsequent to review of the financial status of RRBs by the Union Finance Minister in
August, 2009, it was felt that a large number of RRBs had a low Capital to Risk weighted
Assets Ratio (CRAR). A committee was therefore constituted in September, 2009 under
the Chairmanship of K C Chakrabarty, Deputy Governor, RBI to analyse the financials of
the RRBs and to suggest measures including re-capitalisation to bring the CRAR of RRBs to
at least 9% in a sustainable manner by 2012. The Committee submitted its report in May,
2010. The following points were recommended by the committee:
• Share of Central Government i.e. Rs.1, 100 crore will be released as per provisions
made by the Department of Expenditure in 2010-11 and 2011-12. However, release
of Government of India share will be contingent on proportionate release of State
Government and Sponsor Bank share.

Organizational structure
The organizational structure for RRB's varies from branch to branch and depends upon the
nature and size of business done by the branch. The Head Office of an RRB normally had
three to nine departments.
The following is the decision making hierarchy of officials in a Regional Rural Bank.
• Board of Director
• Chairman & Managing Director
• General Manager
• Assistant General Manager
• Regional Manager/Chief Manager
• Senior Manager
• Manager
• Officer
• Office Assistant
• Office Attendant
Note: Currently, RRB's are going through a process of amalgamation and consolidation. 25
RRBs have been amalgamated in January 2013 into 10 RRBs. This counts 67 RRBs till
the first week of June 2013. This counts 56 as of March 2015. On 31 March 2016,
there were 56 RRBs (post-merger) covering 525 districts with a network of 14,494
branches. All RRBs were originally conceived as low cost institutions having a rural ethos,
local feel and pro poor focus. However, within a very short time, most banks were making
losses. The original assumptions as to the low cost nature of these institutions were belied.
This may be again amalgamated in near future. With the third phase of amalgamation of
RRB bringing down the number of such entities to 38 from 56. At present there are
45 RRBs in India as on 01-04-2019.
