What this interview looks like
For the PO programme and branch roles, ICICI Bank typically runs an online aptitude test and a psychometric assessment, followed by a personal interview, which in many drives is a panel of two or three members from business and HR and in others a one-on-one with a branch or regional head. Some drives add a group discussion.
The interview probes why banking, basic product and economy awareness, customer-handling scenarios, comfort with sales targets and willingness to be posted anywhere in India. PO programme candidates are typically interviewed before the classroom phase and join as deputy managers on completion, so the panel also checks that they understand the programme and its terms.
Technology and data hiring typically runs an online coding or aptitude test, one or two technical interviews on programming, SQL, a project and the bank's digital stack, and a managerial plus HR round. Round counts, durations and panel sizes vary by drive and change from year to year, so verify them against the current cycle.
Englio compresses the loop into a 17-minute panel: HR screen, a hiring-manager round with ICICI Bank specific questions, a role round in your chosen profile, a short STAR behavioural round and a closing on expectations, scored on role knowledge, problem solving, communication and attitude.
