Many of you might have a misconception that interview doesn't make much impact on final score of IBPS and other recruitment as its weightage hovers around 20%. In reality, interview score makes a big dent on the chances of final selection.

Tips to prepare for interview
Read your course books
As in most of the interviews, interviewer is going to ask about what you were doing till now. Most of the times there are 5 interviewers panel from different streams. You can't fool them assuming that you are an engineer or IT professional and those interviewers are bankers and finance professionals.Read your course books as interviewers will ask you about your course concepts.
Read about banking industry
As you are going to become Assistant Manager in a PSU bank, which is a big thing in itself, interviewer expects you to have knowledge to basic banking and finance industry concepts.A tricky question I was asked last year in IBPS PO interview was
Suppose bank gave business loan to a firm. Now the branch manager asks you whether the money used for said purpose or not ? You have all document but you can't go anywhere. Further financial statements and audit reports can be manipulated.
I recommend Barons of Banker for preparation.
Do some home work
Almost everybody have some issues in their resumes and academics. Some of you might have scored very low in graduation, some of you might be unemployed from past many months or you may have a service bond with your current employer. Many people were rejected in interviews.Best books to prepare for IBPS interviews
