SBI Clerk — Selection Process
The SBI Clerk 2025 selection comprises three stages: Preliminary Examination, Main Examination, and (if applicable) the Local Language Proficiency Test (LLPT). Both written tests are computer-based multiple-choice papers. There is no interview round for the clerical post, so performance in Prelims and Mains determines final selection.
Stage 1 — Preliminary Examination
The Preliminary test is an online objective exam of 100 marks and lasts 60 minutes. It has three sections and each section is separately timed.
| Section | No. of Qs | Max Marks | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| English Language | 30 | 30 | 20 minutes |
| Numerical Ability | 35 | 35 | 20 minutes |
| Reasoning Ability | 35 | 35 | 20 minutes |
| Total | 100 | 100 | 60 minutes |
Negative marking: 0.25 marks will be deducted for each wrong answer in Prelims.
Stage 2 — Main Examination
Candidates who qualify in Prelims appear for the Mains, an online objective test of 200 marks with a total duration of 2 hours 40 minutes (160 minutes). The paper includes sections on general awareness and computer aptitude in addition to language, reasoning and quantitative ability.
| Section | No. of Qs | Max Marks | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| General / Financial Awareness | 50 | 50 | 35 minutes |
| General English | 40 | 40 | 35 minutes |
| Quantitative Aptitude | 50 | 50 | 45 minutes |
| Reasoning Ability & Computer Aptitude | 50 | 60 | 45 minutes |
| Total | 190 | 200 | 160 minutes |
Negative marking: 0.25 marks will be deducted for each incorrect answer in Mains as well.
Stage 3 — Local Language Proficiency Test (LLPT)
If a provisionally selected candidate has not studied the official/local language of the state/UT applied for (in Class 10th or 12th), they must take the LLPT. The LLPT verifies the ability to read, write and speak the local language. Candidates who fail the LLPT will have their selection cancelled.
