Result PDF
First, SBI will put out a PDF file on its website. This PDF will contain the roll numbers of all candidates who have passed the Mains exam. These candidates have 'provisionally qualified', meaning they are shortlisted for further steps in the selection process.
Scorecard
A few days after the result PDF is out, SBI will release the scorecard for all candidates. To download your scorecard, you will need to log in with your details. The scorecard will show:
- Your marks for each section of the exam.
- Your total marks in the Mains exam.
- The cutoff marks for your state and category.
Remember, there is a penalty for wrong answers. For every wrong answer, 1/4th of the mark assigned to that question is deducted.
Cutoff Marks
The cutoff marks are the minimum scores candidates need to achieve to qualify. These marks will be different for each state and for different categories (like General, OBC, SC, ST, etc.). SBI will release these cutoff marks along with the scorecard.
Key Details of SBI Clerk Selection Process
The SBI Clerk selection process has two main exams:
| Exam Name | Total Marks | Counts for Final Selection |
