SBI PO Cut Off 2026: What Is Published

SBI PO cut-off marks are not published by the State Bank of India (SBI). The notification states only that cut-offs will be decided depending on the number of vacancies and candidates.

Why you will not find a bank cut off table anywhere

Neither IBPS nor SBI publishes cut-off marks. The notification says only that cut-offs "will be decided" depending on the number of vacancies and the number of candidates. Scores are released to each candidate individually through a roll-number login, never as a category-wise table, and IBPS explicitly withholds Main Examination scores until the whole interview process is over.

Any site showing you a precise bank cut off is publishing an estimate reconstructed from candidate reports. That can be useful as a rough target, but it is not an official figure, and we will not present it as one.

What to aim at instead

• Clear every section — IBPS requires a minimum in each test, so a strong overall score with one weak section still fails.
• Work to the vacancy ratio: shortlists run at roughly ten times the vacancies in each category, so your position relative to other candidates matters more than an absolute mark.
• Track your state and category. Merit is drawn state-wise and category-wise, so the bar differs sharply between states in the same cycle.

Sectional minimums still apply

Only Phase-II and Phase-III count. The Preliminary Examination is a screening test and its marks are discarded once you are shortlisted. Alongside that, candidates must clear a minimum in each individual test, which the conducting body sets per cycle and does not announce in advance.
