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 QuestionsMaximum MarksDuration
English Language303020 Minutes

Reasoning Ability353520 Minutes
Total1001001 Hour

Phase-2: SBI PO Main Exam

Test StructureGroup ExcerciseInterviewTotal
Max. Marks203050

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.

SBI PO 2022 Syllabus

According to the questions that have appeared in the exam over the past few years, SBI issues only the broad subjects, which can then be further subdivided into individual topics. All stages of the selection process are very important. Making an effective study plan is impossible without knowing the SBI PO syllabus and exam pattern.
