Based on the online exam score, a merit list will be created for each state and category. There will be no qualifying sectional marks. Candidates will be shortlisted for up to three times (approximately) the number of jobs available in each state and category. Candidates who score the minimum aggregate qualifying score, as determined by the Bank, will be screened from the top of the merit list drawn on a state-by-state and category-by-category basis.

• The Screening Committee will review the online applications and documents of applicants who have been shortlisted based on their performance in the online examination.
• The Bank's Screening Committee will determine if the candidates meet the required experience eligibility criteria.
• The Committee shall compare the job profiles supplied by the candidates (as confirmed by their current/previous employers) to the job profile of the State Bank of India's Scale-I Generalist Officer.
• The candidate's application will be promptly rejected if their job profile does not match or differs significantly from that of a Scale-I Generalist Officer at the State Bank of India. The Bank's decision would be final and binding on all candidates in this case.

Based on their performance on the online objective and descriptive exams, candidates will be intimated for an interview. The interview will be worth 50 marks. In the personal interview process, the candidate must achieve a minimum score set by the Bank.

• Candidates must pass both the online objective test and the interview by scoring at least the Bank's minimum needed mark.
• In order to prepare the final merit list, the marks received in the Online Written Test, both in the Objective and Descriptive Tests, will be added to the scores received in the Interview.
