[Resolved]  CRPD SBI — interview in SBI for PO

Date 12.11.2008
Sub: - Tier III Group Discussion and Interview for Probationary Officer of State Bank of India (Roll No- [protected] SBI PO Tier-I & II exam was held on 27/4/2008).

Respected Sir,
With reference to the above subject I beg to state that I have applied for the post of Probationary Officer in State Bank of India. The written exam (both Tier-I & II) was held on 27/4/2008. I have received the call letter for the Tier-III Group Discussion and Interview on 30/8/2008 afternoon. The interview was scheduled on 27/8/2008. After receiving the call letter on 30/08/2008 afternoon, I have attended the interview venue at Local Head Office, State Bank of India, Kolkata on 31/08/2008. I have requested for taking the interview on that date or rescheduling the interview to CRPD through telephone. As I was on official tour for the implementation of handloom mark scheme to few remote villages in west Bengal, I was unable to see the result on the internet or in paper.
The same request for rescheduling the interview was repeated over several times through telephone calls, emails, faxes and letters from 31/08/2008 onwards (copy attached—Attachment-I).
Finally I got a reply from CRPD, Mumbai on 16/10/2008 (copy attached---- Attachment -II). In that reply letter my corresponding PIN code no was written wrongly.
The synopsis of the case is given below.
1. Advertisement for the post of PO in SBI was published in The Employment News during Feb, 2008 (Adv. No. CRPD/PO/2007/10)
2. Tier-I & II exam was conducted on 27/04/2008. (Roll No. [protected]).
3. Result of Tier-I & II was published in leading newspapers from 11/08/2008 onwards (as mentioned in their letter no. 1039 dated on 16/10/2008).
4. Result was published in The Employment News/ Rozgar Samachar issued dated 23/08/2008.
5. The interview was scheduled from 25/08/2008 to 31/08/2008 (Kolkata Office).
6. In the website it has been mentioned that Tier-III was conducted during August-September, 2008. I have attended LHO, Kolkata on 31/08/2008. Then why I was not given a chance to sit for Tier-III
7. The schedule of interview for my Roll No. [protected] was on 27/08/2008.
8. On 27/08/2008, there was a Bandh, called by JDP which affected the normalcy of common transportation system in few districts of West Bengal, including my native district Hooghly (nearer to SINGUR). (Newspaper cuttings were already being submitted to CRPD).
9. As I was on official tour to few remote villages in west Bengal, I was unable to see the result on internet or in paper.
10. After receiving the call letter on 30/08/2008 afternoon, I have attended the interview venue at local head office of State Bank of India, stand road Kolkata on 31/08/2008.
11. I have requested to have the interview on 31/08/2008 or rescheduling the interview to any other date to somewhere else.
12. Call letter is dated on 2/08/2008. But Mumbai post office seal was stamped on 12/08/2008 (a delay of Ten days might have resulted in not getting the call letter in time). Hawakhana (my native Post Office) post office seal was stamped on 30/08/2008 and I have received the letter on 30/08/2008.
13. I have received reply from dy. G.M, CRPD, Mumbai on 16/10/2008 (vide email).
14. In the reply letter from dy. G.M, CRPD, Mumbai on 16/10/2008, my corresponding address is given wrong.
15. May be for this kind of careless mistake I was deprived of getting the call letter in time.
Thus I shall be highly obliged if you kindly look into the matter and take necessary steps so that I can attend the Tier-III Group Discussion and Interview.
Thanking you,
Yours’ faithfully,
