Key points about the SBI PO exam:

Exam format: The exam consists of three sections: English Language, Quantitative Aptitude, and Reasoning Ability. 

Negative marking: There is negative marking for incorrect answers. 

Stages: The SBI PO exam has two stages: Prelims (qualifying round) and Mains (final selection).

Application: Candidates need to apply online through the SBI website. 

Candidates should provide their NDA 1 2025 exam form data properly yet documentation verification may get jeopardized when your birth date noted on the 10th-grade marksheet or in your Aadhar Card differs. The DOB recorded in your 10th marksheet or birth certificate stands as official proof according to the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). Disqualification stands as a risk because the 01-01-2006 DOB in your Aadhar Card contrasts with your 28-10-2007 DOB from 10th marksheet.

You can change the Date of Birth information on either document to establish uniformity because this
can create difficulties. Priority should be given to updating your details in the Aadhar Card in agreement with your 10th marksheet because educational certificates gain more importance during such tests. The UIDAI portal along with Aadhar enrollment centers allow users to make corrections.
