Hi Shankar, We all are aware of the bitter fact that many VI get in to banking services due to scribe. Scribe clears exam for the aspiring candidate. I don't know when this mal-practice is going to stop. VI people lack moral values. I feel Maths, reasoning and other essential skills should be checked during interview before candidate gets selected for the specific designation especially for VI.
