SBI Clerk Admit Card 2026: Junior Associate Prelims Call Letter
SBI Clerk Admit Card 2026: The State Bank of India is expected to activate the Junior Associate (Customer Support & Sales) regular-vacancy prelims call-letter link on 20 September 2026. The current update says the backend link has been generated, but candidates should treat the call letter as available only after the download page becomes active on the official SBI careers website.
SBI Clerk Admit Card and Exam Dates
| Event | Date or status |
|---|---|
| Regular vacancy prelims call letter | Expected 20 September 2026 |
| SBI Clerk Prelims exam | 26 and 27 September 2026 |
| Main examination | Tentatively November 2026 |
| Call letter delivery | Online only; no hard copy by post |
The call letter will show the candidate’s allotted exam date, shift, reporting time, venue, roll number and instructions. The reporting time is individual, so do not rely on a generic shift schedule instead of the details printed on your own admit card.
How to Download SBI Clerk Admit Card 2026
- Open the official SBI Careers Current Openings page.
- Find “Recruitment of Junior Associates (Customer Support & Sales) - Regular vacancies”.
- Open the Preliminary Examination call-letter link after SBI activates it.
- Select the call-letter language and enter your registration number or roll number.
- Enter your date of birth or password, fill in the captcha and select “Login”.
- Check the exam centre and reporting details, then download and print the PDF.
Login details: Keep your registration number or roll number and date of birth or password ready. If the link is not visible, refresh the official page later; a third-party link should not be used to enter your credentials.
Documents to Carry to the Exam Centre
- Printed SBI Clerk Preliminary Exam call letter.
- Recent passport-size photograph pasted on the call letter, preferably the same photograph used in the application.
- Two additional photographs matching the photograph pasted on the call letter.
- One original valid photo ID, such as Aadhaar, PAN card, passport, driving licence, voter ID or bank passbook with an attested photograph.
- One self-attested photocopy of the same identity proof.
The preliminary call letter is authenticated or stamped at the venue and is not collected there. Retain it safely because candidates shortlisted for the Main examination must bring the authenticated prelims call letter along with the Main call letter and other documents. The scribe form, where applicable, is collected during the prelims.
SBI Clerk Prelims Exam Pattern
| Section | Questions | Marks | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| English Language | 30 | 30 | 20 minutes |
| Numerical Ability | 35 | 35 | 20 minutes |
| Reasoning Ability | 35 | 35 | 20 minutes |
| Total | 100 | 100 | 1 hour |
Each section has separate timing. There are no prescribed minimum qualifying marks for an individual test or the aggregate in the prelims, and one-fourth of the marks assigned to a question is deducted for a wrong answer.
Important Instructions for Exam Day
- Reach the venue before the reporting time printed on the call letter and allow time for identity and biometric verification.
- Do not carry a mobile phone, pager, smartwatch, calculator or other communication device. SBI says safe-keeping arrangements cannot be assured.
- Keep hands free from mehendi, ink or chemicals so that thumb-impression or iris verification is not affected.
- Follow the photograph, signature and ID instructions printed on the call letter and the “Acquaint Yourself” booklet.
- Do not share your registration number, password or call-letter PDF with anyone claiming to offer guaranteed selection.
What If the Admit Card Download Fails?
- Use the official SBI careers page and a current browser; avoid links forwarded on social media.
- Check the registration number, roll number, password, date of birth and captcha carefully.
- Try again during a less busy period, clear the browser cache or use another supported browser.
- Save a screenshot of the error and contact SBI using the recruitment helpdesk details in the official advertisement.
