This entry-level banking exam is held once a year, typically in phases including preliminary and mains stages, at a national level targeting candidates aged 20-28 years with a graduation degree, and it attracts massive participation due to job security and growth opportunities. Last year, in 2024, approximately 20-25 lakhs candidates registered for the SBI Clerk recruitment (based on historical trends and reports of lakhs of applications received), while around 15-20 lakhs appeared as test takers for the preliminary exam, reflecting the high competition for the 13,735 vacancies announced that year.
