Hello,

SBI PO exam consists of 3 phases – Prelims, Mains and GD/ Interview round.

SBI conducts this exam for recruiting Probationary Officers once every year. Every year, lakhs of aspirants apply for the job and hence, the SBI Bank Exams have become highly competitive.

• To be eligible for the exam, you must have a valid Bachelor's Degree from any University recognized under the Government of India.
• If you are in your final year of graduation you can also apply if you produce a proof of your graduation certificate on the date of personal interview.
• You must be at least 21 years of age.
• Max 30 years.
• If you have a record of default in repayment of loans/ credit card dues are not eligible.
• If you have an adverse report regarding character then you are also not eligible.

Hope you understood the criteria.

Hope this helps!!!

Hello,

The eligibility criteria to be eligible to appear for SBI PO is that a candidate must have passed bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognised board. There is no minimum percentage of marks to be scored. Candidates who are in the final year of the qualifying exam are also eligible but the results must be declared on or before the cut off date specified. The selection of candidates is done in 3 stages.

• Stage 1: Preliminary Exam
• Stage 2: Main Exam
• Stage 3: Group Discussion and Interview

The final selection is based on combined marks scored in Stage 2 and Stage 3 of the selection. Stage 1 is just a qualifying exam. The marks scored in the qualifying examination that is graduation will not be given any weightage in any stage of the selection. So the merit is purely based in stage 2 and Stage 3 marks

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, you can. As far as bank exams(Probationary and Clerk posts) are concerned , any candidate in age group of 20-30 can sit for the exam if he/she has a valid undergraduate degree in any discipline from a recognized university. Based on your category reservation ,you will get age relaxation too which you can check in detail in the exam's eligibility section. Coming to RRB ,the following are the exams:

RRB Non-Technical Popular Categories (NTPC) Exam

Under Non-Technical Popular Categories, there are many posts like:

Commercial Apprentice

Station Master

Goods Guard    an dmany more.

Junior Accounts Assistant Cum Typist    .

Senior Clerk Cum Typist    Deg

RRB Junior Engineer (JE) Exam

RRB Assistant Loco Pilot (ALP) Exam

RRB Group D Exam/RRC Level 1 exam

So in railways , you can apply for non technical posts which require either graduation or 12th qualification. Technical posts will require technical degrees such as engineering as qualification ,so you may not be eligible for that. The average age limit for the various exams is at 18 minimum and about 32-33 years at maximum. Similar to bank exams , the age relaxation is provided to some reserved categories. Therefore , kindly go through the complete eligibility criteria for all posts to find out which is apt for your level of qualification.

All the best

Hello Aspirant,

Both IBPS PO and SBI PO exams will have a descriptive section along with the objective section. The descriptive test will begin immediately after the objective section so yes it will happen on the same day ie., on the mains exam day. The descriptive section will have both essay writing and letter writing questions for which you will be given 30 minutes to complete . The total marks for this section in IBPS PO is 25 and in SBI PO it will be 50. Both the questions will be usually based on current affairs, government schemes and policies, latest news, ethical subjects and more.

Hello, IBPS has previously released the admit card again in case of majority discrepancies. But if your name matches with the credentials of the identity card which you provided at the time of application then there will no issue in your admittance to the examination.

All the Best.

Hello, EWS is a financial category meaning that the category is centrally determined for all states. Though the format of EWS certificate varies for each state you belong to EWS centrally too. You may apply for the certificate in the central format if the exam specifically requests a format or else your state furnished certificate itself will be valid.

Hope this helps.
