- The written test of SBI PO was held on 28.04.2013. Now, SBI has released the list of successful candidates. (Unlike UPSC which takes months to declare any result.)
- The roll numbers of successful candidates, available on in this PDF (click me to Download)
- Congratulations to those who passed.
- Those who could not make it in the list: there is more to life than just one exam so, don’t be a Devdas, prepare for the next competition exam and or whatever other career backup plans that you have.
- 18th June 2013: from this day, successful candidates can download their Call Letter and Bio-data Format.
- 3rd July 2013: from this day, The Phase II (Group discussion and personal interview) will start.
Importance of GDPI?
As per notification,
- your written marks (out of 250) are converted to out of 75
- and marks secured in Group Discussion & Interview (out of 50 marks maximum) are converted to out of 25.
- The final merit list is arrived at after aggregating converted marks of Written Test and Group Discussion & Interview out of 100 for each category.
- =As we can see, Written weightage =3/4th and GDPI weightage is just 1/4th.
But ^that should not lead to any laziness on GDPI preparation because notification further says:
- The qualifying marks in Group Discussion & Interview will be as decided by the Bank.
- The candidates will have to qualify both in Phase-I and Phase-II separately.

Petty SBI job!! Whoa!!
Why do you say so?
m expressing my shock and surprise at a comment from an IIT guy who referred to SBI PO as “petty”!
Hav seen so many IIT guys from top ones like kanpur etc… doing jobs that are offered to any private engineering college guys with the same salary.Thats not petty but SBI PO is?!!
Oh well :) You know, I kind of feel the same way abt bank jobs…and SBI is a very stressful place to work…These jobs are 9-10 hour grinds that suck the life out of you (Saturday half-grinds as bonus). And I know that IT jobs and the like are stressful too so I get what you’re saying coz PSU banks do pay you well+ pension benefits etc. I actually feel like super annoyed that I had to do well in this one.
@Tanveer..could u plz tell the number of questions u attempted?
Thanks..
sir main apna roll no note krna bhul gya.but reg and passwrd hai koi trick btaao kase reslt chk kiya jaaye.
In case selected, is there anyway I can join after December….so that I can properly prepare for CS Mains….
SIR my percencetage is low. So i will not be able to appear in the RBI ASSISTANT. SO sir plz give guidance for insurance sector assistant exam.
sir i dont have my roll no.
have only reg id.pls help!!
@shalini I attempted all the question(read 45+) of GK and English sections but while attempting 35th question of DA I realized that I was only left with 30 more minutes, so i moved to logical and attempted around 23 questions… I did not solve all the questions in logical sections attempted only those which required less time i.e. Picture, Series , coding etc….
Thanx!
And how was ur accuracy in the GK section.Approx how many u think u got correct?
@shalini – I am an MCA so computer questions were never a problem, moreover I have been preparing for UPSC and SSC and that has helped me great deal with GK, specially the Economics part(read all Mrunal writeups on economics to build a base). I am expecting to get at least 35 marks in both GK and English and 30 in DA..though not sure about score in Reasoning but since I have cleared it cannot be lower than 13(Earlier cutoff).
Im in too……..!!
THANKS TO MRUNAL SIR (Being an engineer I was a total zero in economics….its ur blog which helped me do well in upsc prelims as well).

Bank PO doesn’t have specific timings now a days I am working in state bank of mysore as a probationary officer and working hours are also more and it is difficult to prepare for UPSC exams simultaneously But there is no other option still I am doing In my batch lot of members are preparing for civils cleared mains also and some are preparing for next attempts
Is it advisable to say that you are preparing for civil services in the interview?
Please let me no
Can’t really say about the cut-off, but one after giving my exam..I had a gutt feeling that the cutoff should be above expectations.
I cleared the phase-1, and was confident about making through, as I was expecting around 150+
Guys, just one tip I would like to give u all, Though I have no authority, nor am I that much wise or intelligent..Never ever prepare for ur exam..keeping the previous year cutoff in mind..That may distract u at times…Instead, focus on ur hard and smart work..and widen ur resource base..It’s not that since SBI form is released, so I will study for SBI now…Keep enriching urself and keep practising..That would One day make u believe in urself..rather than believe in luck
i could not crack sbi po . i want to know if sbi will again publish po ad this year or next? i will sit for rbi assistant exam please help sir.
About the IIT brahminism – An HR from Infosys told me that in coming years, the castes would be IITians,NITians,Graduates,Dropouts ….. and I do not need to tell you which would substitute which one. You all are bright enough….
Just now when a person claiming to be an IITian told everyone that the Job of an SBI PO is too low a Job for an IITian… It took me back to that statement made by that HR. Irony being he did that on page dedicated to SBI PO result(What was he doing here??)…2008 recession made us all realize again of the fact that Security is the foremost thing a man has always desired since the early ages. IIMites and IITians were lining up to get a job in PSUs then and I don’t think the world economy is yet recovered completely.
The blame for this reverence should go to the Lower castes(read Colleges) also as they see these people as some one with god send intelligence.
To get into the IITs you have to have a right background, a good guidance and how can you forget KOTA all at early age….Not all have that, Others while may be a little late but surely they can blossom.
To summarize I would say the best thing about Government jobs are that they let you take a fresh start, No matter if you have scored 60 or 90 percent, you ultimately have to clear the same exam… The ultimate Right to equality.
@Tanveer- Man, I agree to ur words..But Was it necessary to specify that an HR from INFOSYS?
This is because i work for Infosys..and I don’t think it was necessary to drag the name of the organization in ur comment.
Nice explanation.My college is a govt college.And many IITians dump it.But when coming to psu jobs, it has the highest take.IITians are so just because they got some good opportunity.Come to a level playing field, compete and prove.We will find that, not many can dare to do that 10th standard sum, being too obsessed by complacency of their leisurely glamorous fake life. This is not the case with all though.My comments are only for those who somehow (with some great aid) managed to enter the IITs.For , they can only think getting into a college as achievement- a limit to their abilites. Genuine studious students wont say such things.From my college students are now IIM directors and some jobless, some started business, some married and taking pride on their hubby’s salary and some still taking UPSC exams as status symbol. So at the end of the day, it is the student and her consistent effort that make her succeed ,not the name of her college. :-)
“My college is a govt college.And many IITians dump it.But when coming to psu jobs, it has the highest take.But when coming to psu jobs, it has the highest take”
which college are you from and from where you got this statistical data??
I cannot agree more,Good Colleges are their to provide you just your first opportunity(Placement)and after that you are your own.
and On SBI PO being not a good career opportunity- Well It is good enough to put you economically in top 2% of Indian population.

there*
what is your roll number tanveer
i am 2010 PASSOUT FROM NIT JALANDHar
i have cleared the written in sbi this time.
sbi offers a very good package which even top IT companies are unable to pay.
to summarize a 3.4 lac package job in an IT company is equivalent to a LDC job OF SSC …
FUCK CORPORATE SECTOR WHICH HAS NO RULES..
Dude, IITs bans any firm from offering a package below 5 Lac. Check your figures. Its there in the policy, at least was in mine.
7+ Indian received NOBLE PRIZE in different fields but NONE OF THEM ARE IITians or IIMans if they really want to show their talent let them bring a LAUREL TO THE NATION by receiving a NOBEL PRIZE.
Dare it…or stop blaming any sort of jobs…..even many IITians cleared BANK PO….2
BTW m not against any IITians or IIMians…… I respect every human being
Check the last time any Indian won a Nobel prize barring Amartya Sen, There were not IITs in existence in the contemporary times thus no one from IITs.
Also honestly speaking IITs ruin most of the talented! It doesn’t matter if you are from IIT or some most backward college in Andaman, All that matters is the zeal to learn something and excel at it. Feed the fire and you might end up somewhere with the smoke, or be the fodder and end up in ashes.
hey dude……..the swedish nobel prize is given to people in the field of sciences not to the people who excel in mathematics and engineering. know this fact.
“claude shannon” father of information theory .His thesis written in 1937 has been considered one of the most important master’s theses of the modern century.
he is a mathematician and an engineering but was never awarded nobel.
IIT’s produce ENGINEERS AND MATHEMATICIANS. economy itself is created/sustained by engineers. a lot of IITians go abroad and play a major part in shaping their economies. where as our country pays a lot to bank employees and other jobs which do not require high analytical and reasoning skills( but will be a part of the exam) but very less to engineers/mathematicians who create the economy itself. hence the brain drain.
sbi po me nahi hua lekin civils ki ummeed lagaye baitha hun… feelin low…
Same here bro…BUT nature of both the exams is contrasting as per se….
In CIVILS speed doesn’t matter MUCH whereas in SBI speed is all that matters :)
Be hopeful buddy.. !! All the best !!
Thanks buddy for the moral booster,
U r absolutely rt there… Speed is definitely the contrasting factor… Its like black and white!!!
I am hopeful for prelims though… lets see…
Wish u gud luck as well…
how much r u getting in prelims ?
248 to 252… CL + Vajiram + Mrunal key
hai jhansi! Iam naresh . First of all congrats for clearing sbi po. i too written sbi po. But didnt get. I am failed to got qualify in all sections of bank exams,i dont knw why it has been happened to me.Can u plz suggest me some short cuts in arythmetic and in english and also in how to improve speed to crack d exam. Thank u….
Well said Tanveer.. big thumbs up to u for ur acute eye on details.. I myself got finally selected in SBi in 2010 edition but didnt join bcoz f some circumstances and this tym cudnt even qualify first hurdle.
Sir plz tell me..how would i know my sbi po result if I lost my roll no??????
Friends SBi job is very nyc career opportunity. Those who qualified for GDpI try to capitalise the opportunity. As ratio of selection will be higher. 1 of 2 or 2.3
sir i have qualified the written exam for sbi as well as nhb (rbi) assistant manger
i am a fresher engineering graduate. please advice me in detail about how to prepare for the interview and what topics to prepare. As this is my first attempt i really dont have much clue about the type of questions? please guide me through… i will be really great ful and thankful to you for this.
I have lost my sbi po rollnumber. is there any way to get my rollnumber.
even being from the reserved category(vh) and attempting 120+ with 90% accuracy. i haven’t got selected.. can any one help me out with the rti process…please do reply….its really shocking for me …
SIR I HAVE FORGETTEN MY ROLL NO OF SBI PO .PLEASE HELP ME IN KNOWING MY RESULT THROUGH MY MAIL ID.
Thanx Tanveer!
@Tanveer- May I ask you where dis u practice DI,Reasoning etc… from?
@shalini Well I don’t..the key is not to get stressed up,Trust me all the questions in Reasoning are very easy(My bro in 10th standard solves most) It is the ticking time clock and exam’s atmosphere which makes it difficult,if you could see the pattern and for that you need a relaxed state of mind it is a cakewalk. Reasoning is different from maths in a way that you do not need to mug up formulas, Just read the question twice and have faith in you. Having a belief that you are good does wonders to ones performance.
I am getting around 46/50 in SSC CGL Reasoning section acc to all answer keys.
I am getting 172/200 in CSE paper-2 according to the career launcher key..it could be few numbers less… but trust me I did not give it a single day.I focused only on paper-1 and had the belief that I will do well in paper-2.. I slept in a garden in between the time of ending of paper 1 and beginning of paper 2 as it made me relax…..
Tanveer aap dude hain
@VIP, Ha ha ha but Neither irony or sarcasm is argument… It may look like I am boasting but there was a time when I used to score not more than 32/50 in Reasoning despite working very hard…. It is all in mind Mister.
My mind is absolutely clear but u still are dude…..
tanveer aap realy dude he…. you are consummate liar…. hahaha
What if I send you the copy of my SBI call letter and later UPSC Mains call letter….. ? It could be tough for you but not for everybody else..Give it a thought..
Thanx so much…will keep these points in mind! :)
Marks wud be out after the end of the recruitment process I hope this allays every1 apprehensions
