The Story in Brief
State Bank of India has opened applications for 7680 Junior Associate (clerk) posts. The online registration runs from August 11 to August 31, 2026, on sbi.co.in. The preliminary exam will be held in September and the main exam in November. Candidates must be graduates aged between 20 and 28 years as of April 1, 2026.
The selection process includes an online test (prelims and mains) and a local language test. The prelims consist of 100 objective questions carrying one mark each, with a negative marking of one-fourth mark per wrong answer. The application fee is Rs 750 for General, OBC, and EWS categories. No minimum qualifying marks are set for individual sections or the aggregate.
The Indian Opinion
The usual talk around SBI clerk exams is that a government job is the only safe bet in a shaky economy. But the numbers paint a different picture: over 70 lakh candidates compete for a few thousand posts, and the prelims are a 100-mark, one-hour sieve. The real test is whether the cut-off marks will climb again, pricing out the average graduate. That is the number to watch.
