The Personal Interview gauges communication skills, general awareness, and overall suitability for a Probationary Officer role through a direct interaction.
The Group Exercise and Interview collectively carry a weight of 50 marks . The distribution of marks for these components is as follows:
- Group Exercise: 20 marks

The State Bank of India will establish the minimum qualifying marks required in each of these sections. Candidates must achieve these minimum scores to advance in the selection process.
Merit List and Final Score Calculation
For final selection, candidates must individually qualify in both Phase 2 (Main Examination) and Phase 3 (Psychometric Test, Group Exercise, and Interview). Marks obtained in the preliminary examination (Phase 1) do not contribute to the final merit list. Only Phase 2 and Phase 3 scores are considered.
The scores from the Main Examination, which includes both Objective and Descriptive tests, and Phase 3 are normalized. These normalized scores are then converted to a total of 100 marks . The Main Examination contributes 75 marks to this final score, while Phase 3 contributes the remaining 25 marks.
The final merit list for Probationary Officer recruitment is prepared based on these normalized scores. Selection is made from the top-ranked candidates within each specified category. Candidates must understand this calculation method impacts their overall standing.
