Understanding the SBI PO Exam Selection Process

1. Preliminary Examination:

The journey towards becoming an SBI PO begins with the Preliminary Examination. This phase serves as a screening test to shortlist candidates for the subsequent rounds. The exam usually comprises three sections: English Language, Quantitative Aptitude, and Reasoning Ability. It is conducted online and consists of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) with a specific time limit for each section.

Candidates must clear the cutoff marks set by SBI to qualify for the next stage. The scores obtained in the Preliminary Examination are only qualifying in nature and do not contribute to the final selection.

2. Main Examination:

Candidates who qualify in the Preliminary Examination move on to the Main Examination, which is more comprehensive and detailed. The SBI PO Main Examination consists of multiple sections, including:

• Reasoning & Computer Aptitude: Tests logical reasoning and computer knowledge.
• Data Analysis & Interpretation: Focuses on data interpretation and quantitative analysis.
• General/Economy/Banking Awareness: Assesses knowledge of current affairs, banking, and general awareness.
• English Language: Evaluates proficiency in English, including reading comprehension, grammar, and vocabulary.

3. Group Exercise & Interview:

Candidates who qualify the Main Examination are shortlisted for the Group Exercise (GE) and Interview rounds. The GE involves group discussions on current topics where candidates are assessed on their communication skills, leadership qualities, and ability to work in a team.

The Interview round is conducted by a panel of experts who evaluate the candidate’s suitability for the role of a Probationary Officer. It assesses various aspects such as confidence, knowledge about banking and finance, awareness about current affairs, and overall personality traits.

Final Selection Criteria:

The final selection of candidates for the SBI PO position is based on their performance in the Main Examination (both objective and descriptive tests), Group Exercise, and Interview. The weight age for each stage in the final merit list is as follows:

• Main Examination: 75%
• Group Exercise & Interview: 25%

Candidates are ranked according to their aggregate scores in the Main Examination and the Group Exercise & Interview. The final merit list is prepared based on these scores, with candidates ranked in descending order.Bottom of Form
