SBI Clerk

A reservation quota exists for ex-defense personnel participating in the SBI Clerk examination through the Ex-Servicemen (EXS) category. 14.5% of the available positions at SBI follow the guidelines that reserve spots for ex-servicemen together with Emergency Commissioned Officers (ECOs) and Short Service Commissioned Officers (SSCOs) who fulfilled their military service requirement of five years. Disabled ex-servicemen compose 4.5% of the total candidates selected under this designated quota. When applying for this category no fee is required to pay by candidates. Ex-servicemen can take advantage of an extended age limit through which they receive three years more than general category candidates provided they remain younger than 50 years old. Selection for recruitment proceeds through examining prelims, Mains and local language assessments without the need for specific sectional minimums.

The SBI Clerk exam pattern consists of a preliminary exam with sections on Reasoning Ability, Numerical Ability (Quantitative Aptitude), and English Language, followed by a Mains exam with sections on General/Financial Awareness, General English, Quantitative Aptitude, and Reasoning Ability & Computer Aptitude; the expected cutoff varies based on category and state, but generally falls within the moderate range depending on the difficulty level of the exam and number of vacancies.
