The State Bank of India is gearing up to announce the results for the highly competitive Probationary Officer (PO) Prelims exam held in early August 2025. Thousands of aspirants who appeared for this first stage of the recruitment process are eagerly waiting to find out their qualifying status. This newsletter will guide candidates through what to expect from the result declaration, how to access it, and important details about scorecards and cut-off marks.

Key Highlights About SBI PO Prelims Result 2025

The Prelims exam was conducted on August 4 and 5, across multiple sessions, testing candidates on reasoning ability, quantitative aptitude, and English language skills.

The results are expected to be declared any day now, most likely by the last week of August 2025.
The results will be available only online at SBI’s official website (sbi.co.in) under the careers section.
