Registration & Fee problems reported
The biggest disadvantage of applying on last date is you will have to face numerous problems as the traffic to SBI website doubles.

Candidates had started complaining about two issues from last week, which we thought of highlighting:

1) Slow website/ frequent disconnections: SBI had warned applicants in advance that they are expecting heavy load on their website as the last date approaches.

Here are ways to avoid these issues:

  • Access the webpage from high speed internet centres or computers.
  • Do not use your mobile phones or tablets.
  • Complete the registration before 9 AM.

As time passes, more number of people would start visiting the website making it even harder.

If you cannot submit during day time, attempt to register after 10 PM.The links will get deactivated after 12 midnight.

2) Payment failure: Right after authorizing the transaction, a blank screen comes up or some error message is displayed.

In such a situation, here is what you should do.

  • Login to the application form & check the status of your previous payment.
  • If you see anything else apart from success" in the fee status, you need to make payment again.

SBI says, The amount debited for failed transaction will be refunded back to your account within 3 7 working days."
