SBI PO Mains Result 2026: Quick Answer
The SBI PO Mains result 2026 was declared in mid-October 2026 — 15 October 2026 as reported by CareerPower, with some coverage giving 14 October — and 4,367 candidates were shortlisted for Phase 3, as reported by EducationTimes and Shiksha on 16 October 2026. The Mains examination itself was held on 12 September 2026. The official Mains cut-off had not been released as of 7 November 2026, and no Mains cut-off figure is published on this page: the expected ranges in the SBI PO cut off 2026 note are estimates out of the new 230-mark total, not SBI figures. If you cleared Mains, your next stage is Phase 3: the psychometric test was held on 31 October 2026, and the group exercise and interviews are reported to start from 18 November 2026 (tentative). Check your result only on the SBI careers portal.
Read this first (as of 7 November 2026): The Mains result and the Mains cut-off are two different things, and several pages mix them up. The result — the shortlist of 4,367 candidates — is out. The cut-off marks are not out. Any page giving you a 2026 Mains cut-off figure today is guessing. The Prelims cut-off is official and different: 66.25 for General, 66.00 for OBC, 64.75 for EWS, 58.75 for SC and 52.75 for ST, out of 100, released with the Prelims scorecard on 1 September 2026.

The advertisement for this cycle is CRPD/PO/2026-27/09, dated 18 June 2026, for 1,500 Probationary Officer vacancies. The Mains is out of 230 marks in the 2026 cycle: 200 for the objective test (170 questions) and 30 for the descriptive test (3 questions), changed from 50 descriptive marks in earlier cycles. That is why every 2026 cut-off discussion must use 230 as the denominator, not 250 — pages still showing 250-mark tables are using the old pattern.
How to Check the SBI PO Mains Result 2026
SBI publishes results as a roll-number list and, separately, scorecards. The result list tells you only whether you are shortlisted; the scorecard tells you your marks.
- Open the SBI careers portal at sbi.bank.in/web/careers and open the recruitment results section. Do not use links forwarded on messaging apps.
- Find the link for the Probationary Officer 2026 Main examination result.
- Open the PDF and search (Ctrl+F) for your roll number. If it appears, you are shortlisted for Phase 3.
- Separately, open the scorecard link when SBI activates it, log in with your registration number and password or date of birth, and download your scorecard. The cut-off appears with the scorecard, not as a separate press release.
- If you are shortlisted, watch the same portal for the Phase 3 call letter. The SBI PO Phase 3 admit card 2026 note explains the download steps, the documents to carry, and the 75:25 final weight.
If your roll number is not in the list, your Mains journey ends here for this cycle — but your scorecard, when released, still tells you how far you were from the cut-off, which is the most useful input for your next attempt. Do not trust social-media posts claiming a revised list or a second list unless the SBI portal carries it.

Phase 3 has three parts. The psychometric test, a mandatory remote-proctored personality profiling test, was held on 31 October 2026 at 1 PM under SBI's notice dated 27 October 2026. It carries no marks, but SBI described it as mandatory, and its results go to the interview panel. Candidates who missed it should check the SBI portal and their registered email immediately.
The scored parts of Phase 3 are the group exercise (20 marks) and the interview (30 marks), 50 marks in total, reported to start from 18 November 2026 (tentative). The final merit is worked out on a 75:25 weight between the Mains (230 marks) and Phase 3 (50 marks). There is no sectional cut-off published separately for Phase 3, but Mains itself has sectional qualifying marks in each objective section and in the descriptive test — no section can be abandoned.
While you wait for the call letter, prepare the group exercise and interview together: read one business newspaper daily, prepare a two-minute self-introduction, and practise speaking on banking and economy topics in a group setting. The group exercise rewards listening and building on others' points more than dominating the discussion. For the written-test side of the cycle, the SBI PO syllabus and exam pattern note records the full official pattern, and the free SBI PO Mains full mock test 01 follows the same 170-question pattern for your next attempt.
