Hello,
I am a B.Com(Accountancy) Honours Graduate with 43.25% in my Honours papers. Am I eligible for sitting up in the Bank PO exam of SBI?
Will the bank would still ask for the 55% marks in Graduation? If I
have completed my ICSI and then B.Com Honours Degree is from Calcutta University?

You are eligible to apply for SBI PO (Probationary Officer) Recruitment only either when you are a final year B.Com Graduate or you must have completed Graduation. There is no certain minimum percentage is required to be eligible for applying for SBI PO Recruitment. Candidates who are pursuing their Final year are eligible to appear in SBI PO Recruitment Examination. The one and only one eligibility criteria you are required to meet is, you must have passed Graduation or Bachelor Degree in any discipline from a recognized university. No, Bank does not ask candidates to secure certain percentage to be eligible for appearing in SBI PO Recruitment Examination. Remember, Bank does not ask candidates to secure minimum 55% marks in Graduation to be eligible for sitting in SBI PO Recruitment Exam. You are eligible only when you will be in Final year of B.Com (Hons) or must have passed the qualifying Examination.
