Three things to work out before you apply
Whether you are eligible. Age is counted on 1 April 2026, not on the day you apply, so a birthday after that date does not count. The limit is 20–28 years, and the notice sets out 15 categories that can raise the upper limit. The age limit calculator checks your date of birth against that range and applies one relaxation at a time.
What your answer sheet is worth. SBI Clerk Preliminary Examination has 100 questions for 100 marks, with 1/4 off for a wrong answer. SBI Clerk Main Examination has 190 questions for 200 marks, with a different penalty in each section. The marks calculator works the score out section by section from the official answer key.
