Tips for Promotion Interviews

Interviews for Technical, Rajbhasha and Security Officers are in progress. The interviews for Grade A to B in our cadre will be held after the interview for one post in Grade C is completed. This may happen during August (provided the rain Gods dont intervene again). So here are some tips that may serve our younger colleagues in good stead (the voice of experience - you know!!) :
1. Read up thoroughly regarding our area of work (Security, Fire Fighting,Maintenance & Protocol)
2. Keep yourself abreast of the latest events related to security ( International, National and local level)
3. The changing threat perception after major events like 9/11, Attack on Indian Parliament, London Bomb Blasts, Ayodhya incident, Situation in J&K and the threat from across the border etc.
4. Read old issues of RBI newsletters to be aware of the latest happenings within the Bank.
5. Have a general idea of the profile of the various departments of the Bank. (old newsletters are a good source)
6. Read the Governor's DO letter addressed to the staff on the eve of the New Year ( so that you are not flustered by a question like "Do you recollect the salient points of the Governor's Letter addressed to the staff on ---"
7. You may be asked questions like " Narrate one memorable incident that you remember while on Protocol duty."
8. Remember the training programmes you have mentioned in your Bio-Data. Questions may be asked about the courses you have undergone (I had done a one day course on Medical Rescue in 1992 - I was asked about it in 2004 !!)
9. Questions may be asked on Current Affairs and Economics. (one member from DEAP used to ask questions only related to Economics)
10. Lastly you must know where you stand if you are asked a question like " What is your favourite fruit ?"
So all the best and Good Luck guys !!!
