𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝘀𝘀 (𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐛𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩) Step 1 — Application Submission Candidates apply online with all required documents on or before 02 June 2026. Step 2 — Shortlisting A bank-constituted committee reviews all applications and shortlists candidates based on their qualification, experience, and suitability. Simply meeting the minimum eligibility criteria does not guarantee a call for interview. Step 3 — Personal Interview Shortlisted candidates are called for a personal interview. The interview carries 100 marks. The qualifying mark will be decided by SBI. Interview venue and schedule will be shared only via email or on the official website. Step 4 — Merit List Preparation The final merit list is prepared in descending order based on interview scores alone. In cases where two or more candidates score identically at the cut-off mark, older candidates (higher age) are ranked above younger ones. Step 5 — Document Verification & Medical Fitness Selected candidates must present original documents for verification and clear a medical examination as per SBI's requirements before receiving a formal offer of appointment.
