The SBI PO exam is conducted by the State Bank of India (SBI) itself. Unlike other banking exams that are managed by the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS), the recruitment for Probationary Officers in SBI is organized independently by the bank through its own Human Resources and Recruitment division. SBI is a government-owned public sector bank and India’s largest commercial bank, and it carries out its recruitment process through its official website, https://sbi.co.in, under the Careers section. The bank releases a detailed notification every year that includes eligibility criteria, exam pattern, syllabus, important dates, number of vacancies, and selection process. All application, admit card download, exam schedules, and results are managed on the official portal. SBI also coordinates with external agencies and secure testing providers to conduct the online exams (Prelims and Mains) across various cities in India. The interviews and psychometric assessments are also conducted in a highly regulated environment to ensure fairness. Therefore, the entire SBI PO recruitment—from notification to final selection—is conducted and managed directly by SBI, making it unique and slightly different from IBPS and other common recruitment boards.
