Phase III selection process
Syllabus, selection and salary
Use the official test headings and current information handout. Editorial preparation priorities are timed reasoning/data analysis, banking/economic awareness, English comprehension and the specified communication-writing tasks. These suggestions are not a separately issued official chapter syllabus.
Phase III includes psychometric profiling, group exercise (20 marks) and interview (30 marks). The final merit converts mains to 75 marks and group exercise/interview to 25; preliminary marks are excluded. Qualification and verification remain necessary after a shortlist.
The stated starting basic pay is ₹48,480 plus four advance increments under the applicable Scale I scale. It is not a guaranteed net salary. Allowances, deductions, service conditions and posting affect compensation.
Official reference: Selection and emoluments.
How to download the Phase III call letter
Open SBI Careers, match the advertisement number above and select the Phase III/psychometric/interview entry when published. Use the candidate portal it links to. Verify the date, reporting time, venue and document list on your own letter; the interview window is not a personal appointment.
Documents and preparation
Keep the final application, valid identity proof, qualifications, category/PwBD documents where applicable and other originals/photocopies required by SBI ready. For interview preparation, revise your own application, banking developments and clear examples of teamwork and decision-making. Editorial interview advice cannot guarantee selection.
