About SBI Clerk

SBI recruits Junior Associates (Customer Support & Sales) in the clerical cadre, State-wise. For the 2026-27 cycle, advertisement CRPD/CR/2026-27/17, a candidate applies for one State or Union Territory, must be able to read, write, speak and understand the local language opted for that State, and can appear only once in this recruitment. Age is counted on 01.04.2026: not below 20 and not above 28, that is, born not earlier than 02.04.1998 and not later than 01.04.2006, with the relaxations in the advertisement. Graduation in any discipline, or an equivalent qualification recognised by the Central Government, is required as on 31.12.2026. The advertisement lists 7,680 regular vacancies and says the numbers are provisional.

Phase-I, the Preliminary Examination, is an online objective test of 100 marks in one hour: English Language (30 questions, 30 marks, 20 minutes, in English), Numerical Ability (35 questions, 35 marks, 20 minutes) and Reasoning Ability (35 questions, 35 marks, 20 minutes). Each test has its own timer. A wrong answer costs one fourth of the mark assigned to that question. The Bank prescribes no minimum qualifying mark for a test or for the aggregate, and it does not maintain section-wise marks. About ten times the vacancies, subject to availability, are shortlisted for the Main Examination by aggregate marks. The 2026-27 acquaint-yourself booklet says each question is followed by five options.

Phase-II, the Main Examination, is online and objective, 190 questions and 200 marks in 2 hours 40 minutes, again with a separate timer for each test and the same quarter-mark penalty: General/Financial Awareness (50 questions, 50 marks, 35 minutes), General English (40 questions, 40 marks, 35 minutes, in English), Quantitative Aptitude (50 questions, 50 marks, 45 minutes) and Reasoning Ability & Computer Aptitude (50 questions, 60 marks, 45 minutes). Candidates must reach a minimum aggregate percentage, with a 5% relaxation for SC, ST, OBC, PwBD, ex-servicemen and disabled ex-servicemen; the Bank decides that percentage and sets no subject minimum. Only Main Examination marks are used for the merit list. Preliminary marks are not added.

Candidates who qualify and cannot show, from a Class 10 or Class 12 mark sheet or certificate, that they studied the opted local language take a Local Language Proficiency Test after provisional selection and before joining. Failing it means no appointment. There is no inter-circle or inter-state transfer for five years. The starting basic pay for a graduate is Rs 26,730 (Rs 24,050 plus two advance increments) on the scale given in the advertisement, and the advertisement puts starting emoluments at a metro such as Mumbai at around Rs 46,000 a month at the then rates. Probation is a minimum of six months.
