Behind The Scenes: What Your Score Really Means
That mark on your paper? It’s a battlefield. The exam’s brutal negative marking deducts 0.25 marks for every wrong answer. With 100 questions across:
- English (30 questions)
- Numerical Ability (35 questions)
- Reasoning (25 questions)
Top scorers typically hit 68-72 marks. But here’s the shocker: Last year’s cutoff varied wildly between states – from 53.50 (UR) in some regions to 68.75 (OBC) in others!
What Comes Next? The Mains Countdown Begins
Survived the Prelims? The real war starts now. Successful candidates face the Mains exam in late November/early December 2025. Unlike the Prelims’ 1-hour sprint, Mains is a 2-hour 40-minute marathon covering:
- General/Financial Awareness
- General English
- Quantitative Aptitude
- Reasoning Ability
Our urgent warning: Start preparing TODAY if you make the cut. With results expected any moment, delay could cost you the job.
Result Disaster? Do THIS Immediately
Name not on the list? Don’t panic. First, triple-check using your roll number (PDFs sometimes have errors). If genuinely absent:

Remember: SBI conducts Clerk exams annually. This setback could be your advantage – more prep time for next year’s battle.
