Critical Exam Architecture: Qualifying vs Merit Sections
Most guides stop at "here's how to download your call letter." What actually decides whether you clear this exam is understanding which sections count and which don't.
Reasoning (25 marks) and English (35 marks) are qualifying only. Clear the minimum cutoff SBI sets, and these marks stop mattering entirely — they are not added to your final score.
Your final merit is built entirely from Professional Knowledge (50 marks) and the Descriptive Test (50 marks). That's the 100 marks that actually rank you against other candidates.
There is no negative marking anywhere in the online written exam, and final selection weighs the written exam at 70% and the interview at 30%.

Since Reasoning and English only need to clear a qualifying bar, don't burn excess time perfecting them on exam day — bank your minutes for Professional Knowledge and the Descriptive section, since that's the 100 marks that actually decide your rank. For the descriptive paper, pick your 5 of 8 questions in the first two minutes rather than starting to write immediately; a rushed but well-structured answer scores better than a longer one written under panic.
