SBI Clerk Mains Exam 2025 Anticipated in November
The State Bank of India is planning to hold the second part of the SBI Clerk test, called the Mains exam, in November.
If you passed the first test (the prelims), you can take this one.
This test is to hire people for 5,180 jobs as tellers and sales staff at SBI banks.
The exam will have 190 questions and is worth 200 points.
It lasts for about 2 hours and 40 minutes.
The questions will cover money topics, English, math, and computer skills.
You need to answer quickly as each section has its own time limit.
Be careful, because if you get an answer wrong, a small part of your score will be taken away.
There are no separate scores needed for each part of the test, but you need to get a good total score to be considered for the job.
Special groups like those from reserved categories might get a little help with the passing score.
SBI Clerk Mains Exam 2025 is tentatively scheduled for November 2025.
Candidates who cleared the preliminary exam are eligible to appear for the mains.
The recruitment drive aims to fill 5,180 Junior Associate (Customer Support and Sales) positions.
The mains exam will consist of 190 objective-type questions worth 200 marks, to be completed in 2 hours and 40 minutes.
Negative marking is applicable, with a deduction of 1/4th mark for each incorrect answer.
