SBI PO Cutoff 2026 — Category-Wise Prelims & Mains Cut Off Marks
Last updated: 7 March 2026
SBI PO 2026 Overview
The SBI PO Cutoff is among the most competitive in banking recruitment. As India's largest public sector bank, SBI attracts lakhs of applicants for limited PO vacancies, pushing cutoffs higher than IBPS PO. The selection process includes Prelims, Mains, and Interview, each with separate cutoffs.
How SBI PO Cutoff Works
- Prelims: Screening with sectional + overall cutoffs. 100 marks across 3 sections (English 30, Reasoning 35, Quant 35).
- Mains: Merit stage — 250 marks (objective 200 + descriptive 50). Shortlists 3× vacancies for interview.
- Final: Mains 75% + Interview 25% = Final merit.
SBI PO Cutoff Trend (2022–2024)
SBI PO Prelims cutoffs are typically 5-8 marks higher than IBPS PO due to fewer vacancies and higher competition. General cutoffs rose from 56.50 (2022) to 63.25 (2024) out of 100. The descriptive paper in Mains (letter/essay) adds another challenge unique to SBI PO.
Expected SBI PO 2026 Cutoff
Prelims cutoff is expected at 60–66 out of 100 for General. Target 72+ for comfortable qualification.
