Selection Process

StageDetails
1. Online applicationRegister and pay the fee online, 30.09.2026 to 21.10.2026. Upload your resume and all documents, or you will not be shortlisted.
2. ShortlistingThe bank picks a smaller group of applicants to call for interview. A bank committee sets the rules.
2. Shortlisting — noteMeeting the minimum qualification does not guarantee an interview. Shortlisting is provisional and done without checking original documents.
3. InterviewOne or more rounds, in person or by video. The interview carries 100 marks and the bank decides the qualifying marks. Call letters come by email only.
4. CTC negotiationThe bank may negotiate your CTC during the interview or later, on the same day or another date, in order of merit.
4. CTC negotiation — if you disagreeIf you do not agree to the CTC offered, you are treated as having left the process and the next candidate is considered.
5. Merit listMade in descending order of interview scores only. If candidates tie, the older candidate is ranked higher.
6. EngagementSubject to original document checks, medical fitness and a discharge certificate from your current employer.

In short: there is no written exam. Your interview score alone decides your rank, and your final pay is settled in the CTC negotiation.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Pay the fee before 21.10.2026. The notice says registration is complete only when the fee is paid (SC, ST and PwBD candidates have no fee).
  • Upload everything the form asks for, including your resume, ID proof and certificates. Without them the bank will not consider you for shortlisting.
  • Get an experience certificate that clearly names the field you worked in. The bank can cancel your candidature at any time if it does not.
  • You may apply for more than one post if you meet each post’s rules. The notice also says that if you submit more than one application, only the last completed one is kept and the fees paid for the others are forfeited.
  • If you work in the government, a PSU, a nationalised bank or an SBI Group company, arrange a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your employer.
  • Keep your email ID active. Call letters go by email only, and the bank takes no responsibility for messages that are delayed or lost.
