The State Bank of India (SBI) is preparing to announce the results for the Probationary Officer (PO) Mains examination 2026. Following the conclusion of the Phase-II examination, which was held on September 12, 2026, candidates are now awaiting the official declaration of results. According to the recruitment timeline, the bank is expected to publish the outcome of the mains stage between September and October 2026.
As of September 24, the official SBI recruitment portal continues to display information regarding the preliminary examination results and the mains call letters. The specific link for the Phase-II mains results has not yet been activated. Once the results are officially uploaded, candidates will be able to access their scorecards and the merit list directly through the bank's careers website at sbi.bank.in/web/careers/current-openings.
The current recruitment drive aims to fill a total of 1,500 Probationary Officer vacancies. This figure comprises 1,446 regular positions and 54 backlog vacancies. The distribution of these posts is categorized as follows: 588 for Unreserved (UR), 390 for Other Backward Classes (OBC), 234 for Scheduled Castes (SC), 144 for Scheduled Tribes (ST), and 144 for Economically Weaker Sections (EWS).
Candidates who successfully clear the mains examination will progress to Phase III of the recruitment process. This final stage includes a psychometric test, a group exercise, and a personal interview. The final merit list will be determined by combining the performance from the mains examination and the Phase III assessments. Specifically, the bank will normalize the mains examination marks to a weightage of 75, while the group exercise and interview will account for the remaining 25 marks, resulting in a final score out of 100. It is important to note that marks obtained in the preliminary examination are not included in the final merit calculation.
When the results are officially released, candidates should navigate to the official SBI website and access the 'Careers' section. From there, they must locate the link associated with the 'Recruitment of Probationary Officers' under Advertisement No. CRPD/PO/2026-27/09. Upon clicking the link for the SBI PO Mains Result 2026, a PDF document or a scorecard interface will appear. Candidates are advised to search for their specific roll number within the document and download a copy for their records.
While there has been significant discussion regarding expected cut-off marks, the State Bank of India has not yet released the official figures. The final cut-off will be determined by several factors, including the overall difficulty level of the September 12 paper, the total number of candidates who appeared, and historical trends from previous recruitment cycles.
