SBI conducts the recruitment exam for this post every year and thousands of candidates appear for the exam.

Candidates who clear the main examination will be called for group exercises and interview. The group exercises and interview are likely to be held July 10, 2017, onwards. The final results are scheduled for August 5, 2017.

Final selection

The marks obtained in the preliminary examination (phase-I) will not be added for the selection and only the marks obtained in the main examination (phase-II) -both in objective test and descriptive test - will be added to the marks obtained in group exercise (GE) and interview (phase-III) for preparation of the final merit list. The candidates will have to qualify both in phase-II and phase-III separately. Marks secured by the candidates in the written test (out of 250 marks) are converted out of 75, and marks secured in GE and interview (out of 50 marks) are converted to out of 25. The final merit list is arrived at after aggregating converted marks of written test and group exercises and interview out of 100 for each category. The selection will be made from the top merit ranked candidates in each category.

Results of the candidates who have qualified for GE and interview, and the list of candidates finally selected will be made available on the bank's website. The final select list will be published in Employment News/Rozgar Samachar and also in bank’s website.
