Overview

The State Bank of India (SBI) has released the SBI PO Mains Admit Card 2026 on 2 September 2026, for candidates who cleared the Preliminary Examination held on 1 and 2 August 2026, under Advertisement No. CRPD/PO/2026-27/09. Out of the total applicants, 15,802 candidates have been shortlisted for the Mains stage of this 1,500-post Probationary Officer recruitment (1,446 Regular plus 54 Backlog vacancies). Candidates can download their Mains Call Letter using their Registration Number/Roll Number and Password/Date of Birth on the official SBI Careers portal. The SBI PO Mains Exam 2026 is scheduled for 12 September 2026, and the selection process for this recruitment overall consists of the Preliminary Examination, Mains Examination, Group Exercise, and Interview. The Mains stage is significantly more decisive than the Prelims in SBI PO recruitment, since Prelims marks are used only for shortlisting and the final merit is built from Mains, Group Exercise, and Interview scores combined — so candidates should treat this call letter as the gateway to the exam that actually determines their selection. Candidates should immediately verify their name, roll number, date of birth, photograph, signature, exam date, exam centre, and shift timing on the downloaded admit card, and report any discrepancy to SBI's official support channel well before the exam date, since such issues are difficult to resolve on the exam day itself. Sources currently differ on whether the Mains exam will run in a single shift or multiple shifts, so candidates should rely only on the shift timing printed on their own admit card. To download the SBI PO Mains Admit Card 2026, candidates should visit sbi.bank.in, go to the Careers section, and locate "Recruitment of Probationary Officers (Advertisement No. CRPD/PO/2026-27/09)," then click the Mains Call Letter/Phase 2 Admit Card link and log in with their Registration Number/Roll Number and Password/Date of Birth. Candidates should download the admit card and take a clear printout well ahead of the exam date, rather than waiting until the last moment, given the scale of this recruitment and the volume of candidates likely to access the portal close to the exam. With only about 10 days between admit card release and the exam date, candidates should also use this window to revisit their Mains-specific preparation, since the Mains paper tests data analysis, general/economy/banking awareness, reasoning, and English in a descriptive format that differs meaningfully from the objective-only Prelims stage.
