Correct option is A
Yes, there is a sectional cut-off in the SBI PO Main Examination, but not in the Preliminary Examination.
According to the SBI PO 2025 notification: In the Prelims stage, there is no sectional cut-off. Candidates are shortlisted for Mains purely based on overall marks in the Prelims. In the Mains stage, sectional cut-offs are applicable. Each candidate must score a minimum qualifying mark in every section—including: Reasoning & Computer Aptitude, Data Analysis & Interpretation, General/Economy/Banking Awareness, English Language, and Descriptive Paper
The notification clearly states that minimum qualifying marks will be determined for each section, and failing in any one section—even with a good overall score—will lead to disqualification from the Mains.
