SBI PO Prelims Result 2025: Cut-offs, Mains Exam Date?

SBI PO Result 2025

The SBI PO Result 2025 for the Preliminary Examination is expected to be released online in the last week of August 2025, following the exams held on August 4 and 5, 2025. Candidates will be able to check their qualifying status for the Mains stage by logging into the official SBI careers portal (sbi.co.in) using their registration ID and password or date of birth. The Preliminary exam serves as a qualifying round, and marks obtained here are not counted towards the final merit list, which is determined based on performance in the Mains exam and the subsequent interview or psychometric assessments.

After the release of the result, SBI also publishes the scorecards and the official cut-off marks for all categories. The cut-off marks represent the minimum score required to advance to the Mains exam, and these vary depending on the overall difficulty of the paper, the number of candidates, and vacancies available, which in 2025 stand at 541 for Probationary Officers. Based on expert analysis and previous trends, the expected cut-off for the General category may range between 60 and 65 out of 100 marks, while for reserved categories like SC it’s likely to be between 55 and 60, and for ST between 50 and 55. These projections are made by comparing previous year cut-off data since the official cut-off marks are released only after results are announced.

It is essential for aspirants to regularly check the official website for updates and to download their scorecards and result status once available, as only those who qualify in prelims can appear for the Mains scheduled in September 2025.
