Certainly! Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQs) regarding the SBI Clerk examination:

Q1: What is the selection process for the SBI Clerk exam?

The SBI Clerk selection process comprises three main stages:

Preliminary Examination: This is an online objective test serving as a qualifying round. It includes sections on English Language, Numerical Ability, and Reasoning Ability.

Main Examination: Candidates who qualify in the prelims advance to the mains, which is also an online objective test. It covers General/Financial Awareness, General English, Quantitative Aptitude, and Reasoning Ability & Computer Aptitude. The marks obtained in the mains are considered for the final selection.

Language Proficiency Test (LPT): Candidates must demonstrate proficiency in the local language of the state they are applying for. Those who have studied the specified local language in their 10th or 12th standard are usually exempt from this test.

Q2: Are the marks obtained in the Preliminary Examination considered for final selection?

No, the marks obtained in the Preliminary Examination are not counted towards the final selection. The prelims serve solely as a screening test to qualify candidates for the Main Examination. Final selection is based on the performance in the Main Examination.

Q3: Is there a sectional cutoff in the SBI Clerk exams?

In the Preliminary Examination, there is no sectional cutoff; candidates need to meet the overall cutoff to qualify for the mains. Similarly, the Main Examination does not have sectional cutoffs, but candidates must achieve the overall cutoff score to be considered for final selection.

Q4: What is the Language Proficiency Test (LPT) in the SBI Clerk selection process?

The LPT assesses a candidate’s proficiency in the local language of the state for which they have applied. Candidates who can provide a 10th or 12th standard mark sheet or certificate indicating that they have studied the specified local language are generally exempt from this test. Others must demonstrate their language proficiency to qualify for final selection. 

Q5: Are there any interviews in the SBI Clerk selection process?

No, there is no interview stage in the SBI Clerk selection process. Final selection is based on the candidate’s performance in the Main Examination and the Language Proficiency Test.
