The examination of the SBI Clerk will take place in two phases. The first phase is the preliminary examination while the second phase is the mains examination. The exam of SBI Clerk Prelims was supposed to be held in June 2021 in the online mode. The aspirants who will clear the Prelims examinations will be called further for the mains examination. This time, there will be no sectional cut-off and therefore, the candidates are required to only obtain the overall minimum cut-off scores in order to appear for the main exams.
