Conducting body: State Bank of India (SBI). Post: Probationary Officer (PO). Eligibility: graduation in any discipline (final-year students may apply provisionally). Selection runs in three phases.
PHASE I — PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION (online, 100 marks, 1 hour): English Language (30 questions, 30 marks, 20 minutes); Quantitative Aptitude (35 questions, 35 marks, 20 minutes); Reasoning Ability (35 questions, 35 marks, 20 minutes). The Prelims is only a screening test — these marks are NOT added to the final merit. An adequate number of candidates in each category are shortlisted for the Mains.
PHASE II — MAIN EXAMINATION (online): an Objective Test of 200 marks (about 3 hours) followed by a Descriptive Test of 50 marks (30 minutes). The objective test is usually split into four timed sections — Reasoning & Computer Aptitude, Data Analysis & Interpretation, General / Economy / Banking Awareness, and English Language (the exact question count and marks per section can change from year to year, so treat the split as indicative). The Descriptive Test is English (Letter Writing & Essay). There is negative marking of one-fourth (1/4) mark for each wrong answer in the objective tests.
PHASE III — PSYCHOMETRIC TEST, GROUP EXERCISES & INTERVIEW (50 marks): a group exercise and a personal interview (a psychometric test may also be conducted to aid the interview). The final merit is prepared from the Phase II (Mains) and Phase III marks — not from the Prelims.
SBI revises the exact structure fairly often; always confirm the current section split, marks and eligibility against the SBI PO advertisement of the year on sbi.co.in.
