State Bank of India has announced the Preliminary Examination Result for the Junior Associates Special Recruitment Drive for SC/ST/OBC backlog vacancies. Candidates who appeared for the examination can now open SBI’s official Phase-I marks page and check their individual result details.
The result belongs to advertisement CRPD/CR/SPLDRIVE/2026-27/16, dated 7 August 2026. SBI’s result page identifies the examination as the Junior Associates backlog recruitment test held in September 2026 and provides a login facility for viewing marks secured in Phase-I.
Candidates need their roll number or registration number and date of birth to access the page. Keep these details ready and use the official link provided in the Important Official Links section below.
Make Sure You Open the Backlog Recruitment Result
SBI’s Careers page displays separate entries for regular Junior Associates recruitment and the special backlog drive. The backlog entry specifically mentions SC/ST/OBC vacancies and confirms that its Preliminary Examination Result has been announced.
Before checking the result, match the advertisement number with your application or examination documents. A result or call-letter link for another Junior Associates recruitment cycle should not be used for this special drive.
How to Check Your Phase-I Marks
Open SBI’s official backlog marks page and enter the required candidate details. The page allows access using either a roll number or registration number, together with date of birth and CAPTCHA.
After submitting the details, read the information displayed for your candidature. Save or print the result page if that option is available. Do not assume that an unofficial PDF or third-party score predictor reflects your individual result.
Is the Prelims Result the Final Selection Result?
No. Under the official selection procedure, the Preliminary Examination is used to shortlist candidates for the Main Examination. Preliminary marks are not added to the final merit calculation. The final merit list is prepared using Main Examination marks, subject to the conditions in the advertisement.
Final selection also depends on eligibility verification and qualifying in the specified local-language test where applicable. Candidates who produce a Class 10 or Class 12 marksheet/certificate showing that they studied the specified local language are exempt from that language test under the notification’s provisions.
SBI Clerk Backlog Mains Date: What Is Confirmed?
An 18 October report states that the Main Examination is scheduled for 29 October 2026. However, the official pages opened for this research did not display a dated Mains schedule, while the original advertisement gives only a tentative October/November 2026 window. The 29 October date is therefore treated here as reported, not independently verified from an official schedule.
Shortlisted candidates should confirm their examination date, reporting time and venue through SBI’s latest official notice and individual Main Examination call letter before making travel arrangements.
Keep Your Authenticated Prelims Call Letter
The official advertisement contains an important instruction for candidates progressing to Mains: retain the authenticated/stamped Preliminary Examination call letter and authenticated copy of the identity proof. SBI requires these alongside the Main Examination call letter and other prescribed documents at the Mains stage.
Follow the instructions in the latest call letter and examination information booklet, including photograph and identity-document requirements.
Main Examination Pattern
The official advertisement specifies the following Main Examination structure:
Test | Questions | Maximum marks | Time |
General/Financial Awareness | 50 | 50 | 35 minutes |
General English | 40 | 40 | 35 minutes |
Quantitative Aptitude | 50 | 50 | 45 minutes |
Reasoning Ability & Computer Aptitude | 50 | 60 | 45 minutes |
Total | 190 | 200 | 2 hours 40 minutes |
Each test has separate timing. For incorrect answers in objective tests, one-fourth of the marks assigned to the question is deducted.
