(Applicable to both – Online Preliminary and Online Main Examination)

 

There will be a penalty for wrong answers marked in Objective Tests.

The Bank will conduct a Psychometric test for personality profiling, of those candidates who will be shortlisted for Phase III. The results of the psychometric test may be placed before the Interview panel for having a thorough perspective on the candidates. The structure of this phase will be as follows:

 

Test Structure     Group Excercise Interview             Total

Minimum Marks               20           30           50

 

During the interview round of SBI PO, the panel members will try to check your confidence, knowledge, opinions, communication skills, and fitness for the job. This is also the scoring part of the examination process and the marks obtained in this round are added to the final merit. You have to qualify for both the Online Main Exam and the interview with a sufficiently high score to get a final selection.

 

Final Selection

 

The candidates will have to qualify both in Phase II and Phase III separately to be eligible for the final selection.

The marks obtained in the Main Examination (Phase II), both in the Objective Test and the Descriptive Test, will be added to the marks obtained in Phase III for preparing the final merit list.

The marks obtained in the Preliminary Examination (Phase-I) will not be added for preparing the final merit list for selection.

The final merit list is arrived at after aggregating (out of 100) converted marks of Phase II and Phase III. Selection will be made from the top merit ranked candidates in each category.

The marks obtained by the candidates in Phase II (Main Examination both Objective & Descriptive Tests) and Phase III (Group Exercise & Interview) will be normalized to 100 marks as detailed below.

 

Test        Main Exam          Group Exercise & Interview          Total
