SBI Clerk 2026 advertisement — released 11 Aug 2026
SBI’s Central Recruitment & Promotion Department (Mumbai) published advertisement CRPD/CR/2026-27/17 for Junior Associates (Customer Support & Sales) on its careers page. Online registration and fee payment ran from 11 to 31 August 2026 and are closed. The advertisement puts the prelims tentatively in September 2026 and the Main exam tentatively in November 2026. Prelims call letters are now available on SBI’s careers page — your exact exam date and shift are printed on your own call letter. Dates for the local language test and the final result have not been announced.
Read the advertisement once, fully — it sets the age and qualification cut-off dates, the fee, the three phases of selection, the local language rules, the wait list and the pay. Read it together with the prelims “Acquaint Yourself” booklet, which explains the exam-day rules and the online test.
Key highlights
The 7,680 regular vacancies are the “Total” row of the advertisement’s state-wise table (GEN 3,253, OBC 1,716, SC 1,114, ST 837, EWS 760). The 2,086 backlog vacancies are SC/ST/OBC 287 + PwBD 355 + ex-servicemen 1,444; SBI prints no combined total. All vacancies are provisional and may vary with the bank’s actual requirement. A separate Special Recruitment Drive for 1,538 SC/ST/OBC backlog posts (advt. CRPD/CR/SPLDRIVE/2026-27/16, registration 7–27 Aug 2026) is a different advertisement; the backlog figures above are net of it.
