Candidates can check their result by following these steps:
Did You Know?
SBI PO 2026 received 12,14,076 applications for just 1,500 vacancies.
That means roughly 809 candidates are competing for every single vacancy. Even if every vacancy were filled, more than 12.12 lakh applicants would not secure one of these posts.
That’s the reality of banking exams: months of preparation can still end with no selection because the vacancies are extremely limited. Don’t let one exam decide your entire year. Keep a strong Plan B with CollegeVidya and build an additional qualification through flexible online programmes such as Online MBA.
Prepare for SBI PO, but protect your career from one result
Candidates shortlisted through the preliminary examination will appear for the SBI PO Mains exam. The recruitment process will then include a psychometric test, group exercise and personal interview.
For final selection, the Mains examination carries 75% weightage, while the group exercise and interview together account for the remaining 25%.
