Kurnool sources have stated that a seminar on how to crack the English paper in bank examinations has evoked an overwhelming response from graduates preparing for them. It was conducted in the Sri Kodanda Ramalayam premises at NGO Colony in Nandyal on Sunday by the Hubballi based Karnataka School of Banking as the media partner.
It was stated that several men and women aspirants heard keenly G. Venkata Sathish, Director and Faculty of Karnataka School of Banking, who explained the subject with the help of a PowerPoint presentation and videos. The graduates posed a barrage of questions on the usage of English vocabulary, grammar, sentence formation and other relevant aspects and got their doubts clarified.
Satish had said that selection (IBPS) and banks would not
compromise on English or reduce standards during recruitment, but would expect
the job aspirants to meet required standards. Bankers lay emphasis on English
as its improper usage in letters or bank statements could result in financial
losses.
He had also advised the candidates not to fear using English, but take care to use the right words. He explained grammar concepts with examples and solved some puzzles. He told them to refer the Oxford dictionary and Wren and Martin English grammar book and had also advised the candidates to read a couple of chapters daily and jot down in a diary what they had learnt that day for reference. He gave away a book as prize to some candidates who posed good questions in an interactive session.
