The IBPS PO test is highly anticipated in the banking sector of India. The test will determine the selection of applicants for the job of probationary clerk/management trainee at 17 public sector banks. After a thorough selection process, candidates are chosen for the available jobs and are initially allocated to one of the banks depending on the specific requirements of the participating firms. IBPS also maintains a reserve list that is populated based on the banks' business requirements.

It is important for candidates to be aware that the test format for the SBI PO Mains has been altered. The last step is the psychometric exam, which includes a group interview and an individual interview. Only those applicants who successfully pass all three stages of the examination will be chosen for the position of SBI Probationary Officer.
