Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is there a sectional cut off in SBI PO Prelims?
No, there is no sectional cutoff in the SBI PO Prelims exam. This means you don’t need to score a minimum number of marks in each section (like English, Reasoning, or Quantitative Aptitude). You only need to achieve the overall cutoff score for the exam.
Is there a sectional cut off in SBI PO Mains?

How does SBI calculate cut off marks?
SBI calculates the cut off marks based on the following factors:
-
-
- Number of Vacancies: The fewer the vacancies, the higher the cut off, and vice versa. Usually, SBI invites around 10 times the number of vacancies for the mains exam and 3 times the number of vacancies for the interview stage.
- Difficulty Level of Exam: A more challenging exam might result in a lower cutoff, and vice versa.
- Number of Candidates Appearing in the Exam: It will affect the cut off as SBI needs to narrow down a large number of candidates to 10 times the number of vacancies for the mains exam. Hence a large number of candidates means a higher cutoff.
