Yes of course, you are absolutely eligible to apply for SBI Clerks. No worries about what you have obtained in your graduation. In official notification, they didn't have mentioned anything about percentage. So, you are free to apply for the examination and you are eligible to apply for IBPS exam as well. But don't think the bank examinations are very easy. It is tough to crack without perfect plan and proper effort from your side. SBI Eligibility wise, you should have a degree. It is enough to both the Probationary Officer and Clerical cadre of SBI. Slight differ from age limits of SBI for PO and Clerical.


For Clerical, you should have minimum 20 years of age and maximum 28 year of age. For PO, you should have minimum 21 years of age and maximum 30 years of age. The same qualification was followed in IBPS Clerical Cadre. For PO, you should have a degree and your age should be between 20 to 30 years. You are qualification wise; you are definitely eligible to apply for Clerical and PO Exam as well.

Do not worry about what you have obtained previously but focus on your preparation for Clerk and PO examination because you are eligible to seat in both for SBI as well as IBPS because there is no specific requirement to seat in the examination.

But do not take it easy because it is very tough to pass in the examination as the examination procedure is in two steps.

1.Written Examination.
2.Interview.

The written paper consists of questions of English , Reasoning ,General Knowledge, Computer and Numerical Ability .

There is age criteria o 19-30 yrs and 21-31 yrs or Clerk and PO respectively for general reservation in age for other category students.
