Selection Process: LPT, DV & Final Merit
SBI’s selection process has three stages: Prelims → Mains → Language Proficiency Test (LPT). After clearing the Mains exam, candidates must take a Language Proficiency Test in their opted state’s official language. Only those who pass the LPT are considered for final appointment. Thereafter, SBI conducts Document Verification (DV) for the selected candidates. The final merit list is prepared based on the Mains scores (subject to passing the LPT and DV). In summary:
- Preliminary Exam: Qualifying stage (scores not counted for final merit).
- Mains Exam: Crucial stage; performance here determines merit.
- Language Proficiency Test: Test of local language skills; mandatory to clear.
- Document Verification: Verification of eligibility/documents of candidates who clear LPT.
- Final Merit List: Based on Mains exam marks of those who passed LPT and DV.
Tie-Breaking Rules
If two or more candidates secure the same aggregate marks in the SBI Clerk Mains, the bank applies the following tie-breaking criteria:
- Reserved Category Priority: Preference is given to candidates from reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC/PwD) over general, if applicable.
- Fewer Wrong Answers: The candidate who made fewer incorrect answers across all sections ranks higher.
- Age: If a tie still persists, the older candidate is placed higher in the merit list.
These rules ensure a clear ranking when scores are identical.
