SBI Specialist Cadre Officer Selection Process 2026

Shortlisting: Merely meeting the minimum qualification and experience does not entitle a candidate to an interview call. The shortlisting committee decides the parameters, and the Bank's decision on which candidates to call is final. Interview: Carries 100 marks; qualifying marks are decided by the Bank. Merit List: Prepared in descending order of interview scores; candidates tied at the cut-off are ranked by age (older candidates ranked higher). CTC Negotiation (contractual posts only - DVP, DCTO, VP): Conducted with candidates in merit order, one by one. If a selected candidate does not agree to the negotiated CTC, they are treated as a Voluntary Exit, and the next candidate in the merit list is called. Final Selection: Top-most candidates in the merit list (with successful CTC negotiation, for contractual posts) are finally selected.
