The TCS guys were having some issues with Bio-metric Match so it started late, but the Document verification went smooth.

I was called inside at 2:35 and there was a gap of 6-7 minutes after the previous interviewee left, I was alone out there and it was killing me. The lunch for the interviewers was ready on a desk beside me.

How pathetic.

Anyway, the wait was over with the bell. Interview lasted for 13-14 minutes only.

As mam was very co- operative I tried to answer it with explanation, but it didn’t work 

that much.

She said as bank is giving you interest you should say its their expense.

I said thank you mam.

Now M2 said you can leave now.

I wished them A good day with smile and they wished me luck.

I thanked them and left.
