How is the final selection of candidates for SBI PO exam done?

<p>Only the Phase III interview and the Phase II major test, or the group exercises and interviews, are used to make the final selection of candidates. The final merit list for selection does not include the scores from the preliminary examination. The points that applicants received on the main exam (out of 250) are converted to 75 points, and the points they received on the interview (out of 50 points) are converted to 25 points. The converted marks out of 100 are added together to get the final merit list. The candidates that rank the highest in each category are chosen.</p>

<p>The culmination of the selection process for the SBI PO exam hinges upon two pivotal phases: the Phase II mains examination and the Phase III Interview or Group Exercises, as delineated in various sources. Contrary to the initial phase, the preliminary exam's marks hold no sway in the final merit list for candidate selection. Instead, candidates' performance in the mains examination and subsequent interview or group exercises forms the bedrock of their selection process. It is the final merit list that ultimately delineates the candidates who will assume the mantle of Probationary Officers within the State Bank of India. This meticulous process underscores the significance of candidates' performance in the later stages, emphasizing their aptitude, skills, and suitability for the role of a Probationary Officer within the esteemed institution.</p>
