The SIDBI Grade A pattern 2025 has three stages – Phase 1 (objective test), Phase 2 (objective + descriptive papers), and an Interview.
The SIDBI Grade A exam pattern is divided into two online phases and a final interview. Phase 1 is qualifying, while Phase 2 and Interview decide the merit.
Each question carries 1 mark, with a 1/4th negative marking for wrong answers. Only merit sections (GA, MSME, Stream-Specific) count for Phase 2 shortlisting.
The interview carries 100 marks. Final merit is prepared out of 300 marks (Phase 2 – 200 + Interview – 100).
Final selection is based on Phase 2 and Interview marks. Phase 1 is only qualifying and does not affect your final merit rank.
