is there gd in sbi po

Correct option is A

Yes, the SBI PO selection process includes a Group Discussion (GD) round as part of its final stage—Phase III. After clearing the Mains examination, shortlisted candidates are invited for a Psychometric Test, followed by a Group Exercise (GD) and Interview. The Group Discussion is designed to evaluate a candidate's communication skills, leadership qualities, clarity of thought, and team coordination abilities. In this round, candidates are grouped and given a topic, usually based on current affairs, social issues, or banking-related themes. They are expected to discuss and present their views constructively while listening and responding to others' arguments. Marks are awarded based on the content of their argument, how well they communicate, and how they contribute to the overall discussion. While the GD is not academically difficult, it requires presence of mind, confidence, and the ability to think logically under pressure. It is important to stay updated with current events and develop the habit of expressing thoughts clearly. The GD carries a certain weight in the final selection along with the interview, and both are considered in the final merit list. Therefore, preparation for the GD should be taken seriously, as it can significantly impact the overall score and final selection outcome.
