The State Bank of India (SBI) has announced the results of the Probationary Officer (PO) preliminary examination for 2026. Candidates who appeared for the test on August 1 and 2 can check their qualifying status on the official SBI Careers portal at sbi.bank.in. The result identifies those who have cleared the first screening stage and are eligible for the Mains examination.

The preliminary exam tested candidates on English Language, Quantitative Aptitude and Reasoning Ability. The recruitment drive aims to fill 1,500 Probationary Officer posts. Shortlisted candidates can download the result from the Careers section on the SBI website by searching for their roll number in the result document.
The SBI PO is one of the most sought-after banking jobs in India, drawing lakhs of applicants each year. The preliminary exam is a qualifying round with sectional and overall cut-offs set by SBI. Those who clear it will next take the Mains exam, which carries marks for General Awareness, Banking Awareness and Computer Knowledge. The final selection also includes a psychometric test, group discussion and interview. Candidates should watch for the Mains exam date, which SBI typically announces a few weeks after the prelims result.
