SBI PO 2022 Selection Process

Among the public-sector bank recruitment exams in India, the SBI PO is the most prestigious. Compared to the IBPS bank entrance exams, it is considered a little difficult. The process for hiring a probationary officer at SBI consists of three steps:

1. Preliminary Examination
2. Main Examination
3. GD/Interview

SBI PO 2022 Exam Pattern

SBI PO selection is divided into three stages. After the written examinations (pre+mains), an interview round is conducted. Here is how the exams are structured:

Phase-1: SBI PO Prelims Exam

There will be an online examination in which candidates must complete a 100-mark question paper within one hour. There are three sections in the test. As of this year, the sectional cut-off for the Preliminary Exam has been removed, and the overall score will be considered for selection. Depending on the difficulty of the test, the Bank determines the cut-off or minimum passing marks for each section each year. Below is a breakdown of the marks by section:

Name of Tests(Objective)	No. of Questions	Maximum Marks	Duration
English Language	30	30	20 Minutes
Numerical Ability	35	35	20 Minutes
Reasoning Ability	35	35	20 Minutes
Total	100	100	1 Hour

Phase-2: SBI PO Main Exam

There will be two tests in the SBI PO Main Examination: an Objective Test with 200 marks and a Descriptive Test with 50 marks. Candidates will be required to type their Descriptive Test answers on a computer immediately after the Objective Test concludes.

Name of Tests (Objective)	No. of Questions	Maximum Marks	Duration
Reasoning & Computer Aptitude	45	60	60 minutes
Data Analysis & Interpretation	35	60	45 minutes
General/ Economy/ Banking Awareness	40	40	35 minutes
English Language	35	40	40 minutes
Total	155	200	3 hours
Descriptive Test (Letter Writing & Essay)	02	50	30 minutes

Phase-3: SBI PO Psychometric Test

Psychometric tests may be administered to the candidates who are shortlisted in Phase-III for personality profiling. It is possible to present the results of the test before the interview panel in order to have a thorough understanding of the candidates.

Test Structure	Group Excercise	Interview	Total
Max. Marks	20	30	50

Final Selection

To qualify for the final round of selection, candidates will need to qualify both phases II and III separately. A final merit list will be prepared by adding the marks obtained in Phase-II, both in the Objective Test and the Descriptive Test, to the marks obtained in Phase-III. During the preparation of the final merit list for selection, the marks obtained in the Preliminary Examination (Phase-I) will not be considered.
