1. Tell us something about yourself?
Answer: Good afternoon Sir. Having being born and brought up in a
banking family due to my father retiring from SBI, I had an early
introduction to the world of banking & finance. With my keen interest in
academics, technology and having a strong urge to make a difference to
the lives of others I have forged a career in Banking.
With a keen interest in problem solving I started my career with Cognizant
Technology Solutions as a Senior Systems Executive primarily indulging in
Production Support Projects where I solved real time problems of clients. I
want to eventually move up the ladder in the service industry and
materialize the opportunity to serve every section of the society through
my skill set. In my free time I love to play and watch various sports
especially cricket since I have been a professional cricketer for many
years and apart from that listening to good music and watching movies
adds flavor to my life.
2. Where do you see yourself 5/10 years from now?
Ans: Sir 5 years down the line I see myself contesting for the Executive post
in my organization or move to another PSB to enhance my skillsets.
3. Why do you want to do MBA?
Ans: In my current role as a Manager I’ve got the opportunity to work in an
administrative role as well at an exceptionally large branch and found the
work of executives quite intriguing. I want to learn more about problem
solving, strategy and leadership qualities in the MBA program and make a
fulfilling career in banking in the near future.
4. Why should we select you?
Ans: Apart from studies I have a keen interest towards extra curricular
activities. Just like I represented my College at University level I would like
to represent my institution at various sports and bring accolades. Since I
consider myself to be a good speaker I would also like to represent my
institution at Debates and Extempore where I could excel and bring
accolades to my institution. My experience of 9 years in two completely
different work environment provides me with an edge to understand and
analyze several situations without any hesitation.

6. Have you done your SWOT analysis? What are your strengths and
weaknesses?
Ans: I have good communication skills and convincing power which
makes it easier for me to serve the products of my banks to customers. I
consider myself as a good team player as I am currently in a managerial
role which challenges me everyday to work alongside different kinds of
people and to motivate them to bring out the best results for my
organization.
My weakness is I trust people a little too easily because of which I have
been taken advantage of but now I have started analyzing each and
every situation very keenly before any kind of judgement.
