Important Points to Remember SBI Clerk Vacancy State Wise

9,766 is the combined total: this includes 7,680 regular vacancies and 2,086 backlog vacancies.
Only one State/UT can be selected while applying; vacancy count shouldn’t be the sole deciding factor. Local language proficiency in that state is mandatory, and posting is tied to the state applied for.
12 states/UTs have zero vacancies this cycle: Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Haryana, Jharkhand, Kerala, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Chandigarh, Delhi (NCT), Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu, Lakshadweep, and Puducherry. Candidates native to these states must apply elsewhere and meet that state’s local language requirement.
Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Odisha carry the highest regular vacancies (1,718, 1,410, and 1,100 respectively); but higher vacancy count usually also means higher competition and a correspondingly tougher cut-off.
Backlog vacancies are exclusively for SC/ST/OBC and horizontal-reservation categories (PwBD, XS, DXS); General and EWS candidates are not eligible to apply against these seats.
Vacancies are provisional and may change based on the bank’s actual requirement at the time of final allotment.
