A: The SBI PO exam consists of three phases:
SBI PO Prelims
SBI PO Mains
Group Exercises & Interview
The SBI PO syllabus for the preliminary exam is inclusive of three sections
1. English Language (30 marks from 30 Qs),
2. Quantitative Aptitude (35 marks from 35 Qs)
3. And Reasoning Ability (35 marks from 35 Qs). English Language
The English Language section is one of the easiest to crack. You need to brush up on your basic skills in grammar by developing a reading habit. Additionally, that will also help improve your vocabulary. You can also go through the previous year's papers to get an idea of what kind of questions will come. Questions in this section are usually asked from Comprehension, Spotting Errors, Para Jumbles, Antonyms and Synonyms. Quantitative Aptitude
The Quantitative Aptitude section is the toughest, as observed in the SBI PO previous years papers. You need to be well versed in topics like Ratio and Proportion, Average, Speed and Distance, Time and Work, Number Series, Data Interpretation, Quadratic Equations, and Simplification. This section evaluates your numerical ability and problem-solving skills. Regular practice is mandatory. Reasoning Ability
The reasoning section is the most scored in the SBI PO exam. Practice regularly to be able to crack this section. The questions will be very logical in nature. You need to prepare for topics such as Syllogism, Puzzles, Seating Arrangement, Coding-Decoding, Ranking and Order, etc. Follow up each practice with a quick revision.

Q: Why is SBI PO so tough?

A: There are multiple reasons why clearing the SBI PO exam becomes tough compared to other banking exams. Some of these reasons are:
1. Limited number of attempts: This makes aspirants feel pressured to qualify within the allotted number of attempts.
2. Time constraints: Candidates have one hour to complete 100 questions in the preliminary exam and three hours to complete 155 questions in the main exam.
3. Negative marking: There is one-fourth negative marking of 0.25 marks, which increases the challenge.
4. Tricky questions, such as from the reasoning and data interpretation sections, consume a lot of time.

Q: Which is better, SBI PO or SBI SO?

A: The basic difference between SBI SO and SBI PO is that SO is a Specialist Officer and PO is a probationary officer. Both posts are equally good, but the PO post is the most sought after due to the nature of work and the higher number of vacancies. The salary of PO is better than that of PO. The starting salary of a probationary officer is INR 27,620, whereas the salary of a specialist officer is Rs. 23,700 per month. Also, the promotional aspect for PO is comparatively better and one can get promoted to the post of Senior Manager within ten years. On the other hand, the SO is appointed for a specialised task, such as a law officer, and their career begins as scale I officers. One can expect to be promoted to the Scale II officer level after a few years. However, if someone wants to have experience in a particular field, such as HR, and does not want a workload, the SO post is better.

A: Yes, the post of probationary officer in the State Bank of India is considered a government job. This is because the government of India has a 57.6% shareholding in SBI bank. As a result, the SBI is treated as a public sector bank and its employees are treated as government employees.
