SBI PO 2026 key dates
SBI recruits Probationary Officers through its own advertisement. The advertisement gives most stages by month only and calls the whole schedule tentative; exact exam dates came later — the Prelims dates from SBI’s careers page, and the Mains date from the Prelims result and the Mains handout.
