SBI SO 2026 vacancy at a glance
There is no combined SBI SO vacancy: each post has its own advertisement, eligibility and merit list. The two 2026-27 regular advertisements with a written test list 84 vacancies between them — 49 for the Law posts (including 2 backlog) and 35 for Bank Medical Officer. SBI says the numbers are provisional.
