Understanding the Selection Process and What Comes Next:
The SBI Clerk recruitment process is a multi-stage affair designed to identify suitable candidates for the highly sought-after Junior Associate roles. It comprises:
- Preliminary Examination: This initial screening test is qualifying in nature, and its marks are not counted for the final merit list.
- Mains Examination: This is the most critical stage. The marks obtained in the Mains exam are the sole determinant for final selection, provided the candidate successfully clears the subsequent stage. The Mains exam consists of 190 questions for a total of 200 marks, covering General/Financial Awareness, General English, Quantitative Aptitude, and Reasoning Ability & Computer Aptitude.
- Language Proficiency Test (LPT): Candidates who qualify in the Mains examination will proceed to the LPT. This test is mandatory for candidates who haven’t studied the opted local language at the 10th or 12th standard level. It is qualifying in nature, meaning candidates must pass it, but the marks are not included in the final merit calculation. Failure to demonstrate proficiency in the chosen local language can lead to disqualification.
Expected Cut-off and Scorecard Details:
While the official cut-off marks will be released along with or shortly after the results, experts and coaching institutes have provided estimated cut-offs based on factors such as exam difficulty, the number of vacancies (approximately 14,191 this year), and previous year trends. It’s important to note that there are no sectional cut-offs in the SBI Clerk Mains exam; candidates are only required to secure the overall qualifying marks.
The scorecard, detailing section-wise and overall marks obtained by candidates, along with the official cut-off marks, is usually released a week after the main result announcement. Candidates are advised to regularly check the official SBI website (sbi.co.in/web/careers) for the latest updates.
This recruitment drive holds significant importance for countless job seekers aiming for a career in the banking sector. The release of the Mains results will be a pivotal moment, ushering in the final phase of selection for these coveted positions at the State Bank of India.
