The State Bank of India has released the SBI PO 2026 notification on its official careers portal (sbi.co.in), with reports putting the count at around 1,500 Probationary Officer vacancies. The notification PDF and the apply-online link go live only on the official SBI site — never on a coaching page first.
The online application window closed in July 2026, and the exam stages for this cycle have since moved ahead. Check the official Prelims and Mains dates, results and the next stage only on sbi.co.in/web/careers. Treat any date or result you see elsewhere as unconfirmed until it matches the official notice there.
The selection is three stages: Prelims (Reasoning, Quantitative Aptitude, English — qualifying), Mains (a tougher objective paper plus a descriptive English test; Mains marks are combined with Phase III marks for the final merit list), and a Group Exercise + Interview. SBI PO is among the most competitive bank exams, and the Prelims is a speed-and-accuracy race against sectional timers.
Act for your stage: if you are still in the race this cycle, follow the next stage on sbi.co.in and prepare for the Group Exercise and Interview; if not, start timed practice for the next cycle. Review the SBI PO syllabus, check what the role pays on the SBI PO salary page, and take a timed SBI PO mock test based on the previous-year exam pattern.
Always confirm dates and eligibility on the official site before you act.
