By RojgarDekho Team | Updated: June 2026

SBI PO is one of the most competitive banking exams in India — 1,500 posts against several lakh applicants. The exam rewards speed, accuracy, and smart section management more than raw knowledge. If you have been preparing for IBPS or other bank PO exams, the SBI PO pattern will feel familiar, but SBI consistently raises the difficulty bar, especially in Reasoning and Data Interpretation. This article breaks down the topic-wise pattern from past SBI PO papers and gives you practice questions so you focus where it matters.

Prelims — Topic-Wise Question Frequency

SectionHigh-Frequency TopicsApprox Questions
English LanguageReading Comprehension, Cloze Test, Error Spotting, Para Jumbles, Sentence Improvement30
Quantitative AptitudeData Interpretation (tables, bar, pie, caselet), Arithmetic (SI/CI, time-work, percentage), Number Series, Quadratic Equations35
Reasoning AbilityPuzzles & Seating Arrangement (the biggest chunk), Syllogism, Inequality, Coding-Decoding, Blood Relations35
⚠️ Where the Exam Is Won
In SBI PO Prelims, Puzzles and Seating Arrangement dominate Reasoning (15–20 of 35 questions), and Data Interpretation dominates Quant (15–20 of 35). If you master these two areas, you clear Prelims comfortably. Candidates who avoid puzzles because they feel slow end up losing the most marks.

Mains — What Changes

The Mains is a different beast. The Data Analysis & Interpretation section becomes far more complex — caselet DI, data sufficiency, missing-data DI. The Reasoning section adds high-level puzzles, machine input-output, and logical reasoning (statement-assumption, syllogism with possibility). The General Awareness section focuses heavily on Banking & Financial Awareness and the last 6 months of current affairs. Descriptive writing (letter + essay) tests clarity and structure under time pressure.

14 Practice Questions — Topic-Representative

These are practice questions modelled on the SBI PO pattern. They are NOT official SBI papers.

Quantitative Aptitude

1. A sum of ₹12,000 is invested at 10% per annum compound interest. What is the compound interest after 2 years?
Answer: A = 12000(1.1)² = 12000 × 1.21 = ₹14,520. CI = 14,520 − 12,000 = ₹2,520.

2. A train 150 m long crosses a platform 350 m long in 25 seconds. What is its speed in km/h?
Answer: Total distance = 500 m in 25 s = 20 m/s = 20 × 18/5 = 72 km/h.

3. The ratio of two numbers is 3:5 and their sum is 64. What is the larger number?
Answer: 5 parts of 8 = (5/8) × 64 = 40.

4. If 40% of a number is 240, what is 75% of the same number?
Answer: Number = 240/0.4 = 600. 75% of 600 = 450.

5. A and B together complete a work in 12 days; A alone in 20 days. In how many days will B alone complete it?
Answer: B's rate = 1/12 − 1/20 = (5−3)/60 = 2/60 = 1/30. So B alone = 30 days.

Reasoning Ability

6. In a certain code, BANK is written as CBOL. How is LOAN written?
Answer: Each letter +1 → L→M, O→P, A→B, N→O = MPBO.

7. If A > B, B ≤ C, C < D, which conclusion is definitely true: (i) A > C (ii) D > B?
Answer: (ii) D > B is true. From B ≤ C < D, we get D > B. (i) A > C is not certain.

8. Pointing to a photo, a man says "She is the daughter of my grandfather's only son." How is she related to him?
Answer: Grandfather's only son = the man's father. The father's daughter = the man's sister.

9. Six people sit in a row facing north. If P is to the immediate right of Q, and Q is third from the left, what position from the left is P?
Answer: Q is 3rd from left; immediate right of Q is the 4th position. So P is 4th from the left.

English Language

10. Choose the correctly spelt word: (a) Accomodate (b) Accommodate (c) Acommodate (d) Accommadate
Answer: (b) Accommodate — double 'c' and double 'm'.

11. Identify the error: "Neither the manager nor the employees was present at the meeting."
Answer: "was" should be "were" — with "neither...nor", the verb agrees with the nearer subject (employees, plural).

Data Interpretation

12. A company sold 1,200 units in January and 1,500 in February. What is the percentage increase?
Answer: Increase = 300/1200 × 100 = 25%.

13. If a pie chart shows 90° for "Salaries" out of total expenses ₹4,80,000, what is the salary expense?
Answer: 90/360 × 4,80,000 = 1/4 × 4,80,000 = ₹1,20,000.

Banking Awareness (Mains)

14. What does "Repo Rate" mean?
Answer: The Repo Rate is the rate at which the RBI lends short-term funds to commercial banks against government securities. A higher repo rate makes borrowing costlier and helps control inflation.

Smart Preparation Strategy — 6–8 Weeks to Prelims

WeekFocus
Week 1–2Master DI (all types) and Puzzles/Seating — the two highest-weight areas
Week 3–4Arithmetic word problems, Syllogism, Inequality, Coding; English RC & grammar
Week 5–6Sectional tests with strict 20-min timing; identify your slow areas
Week 7–8Full-length mocks daily; work on accuracy and attempt strategy under pressure
💡 Honest Reality
SBI PO is dominated by giants — coaching institutes and lakhs of repeat aspirants. The difference between selection and rejection is rarely knowledge; it is speed and accuracy under sectional timing. Practising 50+ full mocks with detailed analysis is what separates selected candidates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Where can I find official SBI PO previous year papers?

SBI does not release official answer keys or question papers in a downloadable bank for past PO exams. However, memory-based papers are widely available through coaching platforms (Adda247, Oliveboard, Testbook) and previous-year mock compilations. Practising IBPS PO papers is also highly relevant due to the similar pattern.

Q: Is there sectional timing in SBI PO Prelims?

Yes. SBI PO Prelims has sectional timing of 20 minutes per section (English, Quant, Reasoning). You cannot move back to a section once its 20 minutes are over. This makes time management and section strategy critical — practise with sectional timing from day one.

Q: How important is the descriptive paper in SBI PO Mains?

The descriptive paper (letter + essay, 50 marks) is part of the Mains score and counts toward the final merit. Many candidates underprepare for it and lose easy marks. Practise concise, structured letters and essays — banking, economy, and social topics are common themes.

SBI PO vs IBPS PO — How They Differ

Many candidates prepare for both SBI PO and IBPS PO together, and the overlap is large — but the differences matter. SBI PO is generally considered tougher, especially in Reasoning and Data Interpretation, where SBI introduces newer, more complex question types each year. SBI also has a Group Exercise and a Psychometric Test in the final phase, which IBPS does not emphasise the same way. The descriptive paper in SBI Mains carries real weight. If you can crack SBI PO, IBPS PO becomes comparatively manageable — so many aspirants treat SBI PO preparation as the higher benchmark and let IBPS follow.

One practical difference: SBI tends to set "innovative" questions that you will not have seen in coaching material, particularly in Reasoning puzzles and caselet DI. This rewards candidates who have built genuine problem-solving ability over those who have only memorised question types. Build your fundamentals deeply rather than relying on shortcuts alone.

Cut-Off Trends — What to Target

SBI PO does not release a fixed cut-off in advance; it varies year to year based on difficulty and vacancies. Based on past trends, the Prelims cut-off for the General category has typically been in the range of 50–60 marks out of 100, with sectional cut-offs also applicable. For Mains, the overall cut-off for the interview call has historically been around 40–50% of the total. These are indicative estimates from coaching analyses, not official figures — treat them as a target band, not a guarantee.

StageIndicative General Cut-offNote
Prelims (out of 100)~50–60Plus sectional cut-offs
Mains (objective + descriptive)~40–50% of totalFor interview shortlist
Final (Mains + Interview)Varies by year/vacancyMerit = Mains + GE/Interview

Exam-Day Strategy — Prelims

With sectional timing of 20 minutes each, your order and selection within a section decide everything. A proven approach: in English, do the grammar/vocabulary questions first (faster) before tackling Reading Comprehension. In Quant, attempt the simplification, number series, and quadratic equations first to bank quick marks, then move to DI sets. In Reasoning, pick the easier puzzles first and leave the most complex arrangement for last. Do not get stuck on a single hard puzzle — it can cost you 5–6 easy questions elsewhere. Aim for high accuracy: in SBI PO, attempting 65–70 questions with 90%+ accuracy usually beats attempting 85 with 70% accuracy because of negative marking.

3 More Practice Questions

15. A boat travels 30 km downstream in 3 hours and returns in 5 hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water?
Answer: Downstream speed = 10 km/h, upstream = 6 km/h. Boat speed = (10+6)/2 = 8 km/h.

16. Three persons P, Q, R can do a job in 10, 15, and 30 days respectively. Working together, how long will they take?
Answer: Combined rate = 1/10 + 1/15 + 1/30 = 3/30 + 2/30 + 1/30 = 6/30 = 1/5. So 5 days.

17. In a seating arrangement of 8 people around a circular table facing the centre, if A is 3rd to the left of B, how many people sit between A and B (counting clockwise from A)?
Answer: 3rd to the left of B means going anticlockwise from B; counting clockwise from A to B there would be 2 people between them. (Draw the circle to confirm — circular arrangement questions reward diagramming.)

Final Word — The SBI PO Edge

SBI PO is winnable, but not by knowledge alone. The candidates who clear it have done two things consistently: they practise with sectional timing every single day, and they analyse every mock to find exactly which question types slow them down. Build a personal "error log" — note every question you got wrong or skipped, categorise it, and target those categories. Over 6–8 weeks, this disciplined feedback loop is what converts a near-miss into a selection.

Building Speed in Data Interpretation — The SBI PO Differentiator

Data Interpretation is where SBI PO is genuinely won or lost. In both Prelims and Mains, a large block of marks comes from DI sets, and SBI deliberately designs them to be calculation-heavy and time-consuming. The candidates who clear cut-offs are not those who know more formulas — they are those who can read a DI set quickly, identify what is being asked, and compute with mental-math shortcuts instead of long division. Train yourself to estimate: if a question asks for an approximate percentage, you rarely need an exact answer. Learn to use fraction-percentage equivalents (1/8 = 12.5%, 1/6 = 16.67%, 3/8 = 37.5%) instantly, square numbers up to 30 from memory, and cube numbers up to 15. These small efficiencies compound over a 20-minute section and are the single biggest reason some candidates finish DI while others run out of time.

Practise at least one caselet DI, one tabular DI, and one graphical DI every day. Caselet DI — where the data is given in paragraph form rather than a table — is the type most candidates fear and most often appears in SBI Mains. The trick is to first convert the paragraph into your own quick table on the rough sheet, then solve. Candidates who skip caselet DI surrender easy marks to those who practised it.

The Mains General Awareness Section — Banking Focus

In SBI PO Mains, the General/Economy/Banking Awareness section can be a silent game-changer because it is the one section you can answer almost instantly if you have read — no calculation, no reasoning, just recall. Focus on banking and financial awareness: RBI functions and monetary policy tools (repo, reverse repo, CRR, SLR, MSF), types of accounts and deposits, NPA and provisioning basics, important banking committees, recent RBI circulars, government financial schemes (Jan Dhan, Mudra, PM-Kisan, Atal Pension), and the last six months of banking current affairs. A strong GA score effectively buys you time in the calculation-heavy sections, because you bank those marks in minutes.

Mental Health and Mock Discipline

One under-discussed reality of SBI PO preparation: it is a marathon that tests persistence as much as aptitude. Many capable candidates fail not because they lack ability but because they burn out or lose confidence after a bad mock. Treat every mock as data, not a verdict. A low mock score in week 3 means nothing about your week 8 performance — what matters is whether you analysed it and fixed the gaps. Keep a steady routine, sleep well before the exam, and walk into the hall having already simulated the exact conditions dozens of times. Familiarity removes anxiety, and a calm candidate makes fewer silly errors under sectional timing.

5. A और B मिलकर 12 दिन में, A अकेला 20 दिन में। B अकेला कितने दिन?
उत्तर: B का rate = 1/12 − 1/20 = 1/30। B = 30 दिन।

Reasoning

6. किसी code में BANK = CBOL। LOAN कैसे लिखेंगे?
उत्तर: हर letter +1 → MPBO।

7. A > B, B ≤ C, C < D। कौन सा निश्चित सत्य है: (i) A > C (ii) D > B?
उत्तर: (ii) D > B सत्य है। B ≤ C < D से D > B।

8. Photo की ओर इशारा करते हुए: "वह मेरे दादा के इकलौते बेटे की बेटी है।" वह कैसे संबंधित है?
उत्तर: दादा का इकलौता बेटा = व्यक्ति के पिता। पिता की बेटी = व्यक्ति की बहन।

9. 6 लोग उत्तर की ओर मुँह करके row में। P, Q के immediate right; Q left से तीसरा। P left से कौन सी position?

💡 Honest Reality
SBI PO giants से dominated है — coaching institutes और लाखों repeat aspirants। Selection और rejection का difference knowledge नहीं, sectional timing में speed व accuracy है। 50+ full mocks detailed analysis के साथ practise करना selected candidates को अलग करता है।

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल

Q: Official SBI PO previous year papers कहाँ मिलेंगे?

SBI past PO exams के official answer keys या question papers downloadable form में release नहीं करता। Memory-based papers coaching platforms (Adda247, Oliveboard, Testbook) पर widely available हैं। Similar pattern के कारण IBPS PO papers practise करना भी highly relevant है।

Q: SBI PO Prelims में sectional timing है?

हाँ। हर section (English, Quant, Reasoning) के लिए 20 minutes। एक section के 20 minutes खत्म होने पर वापस नहीं जा सकते। Day one से sectional timing के साथ practise करें।

Q: SBI PO Mains में descriptive paper कितना important है?

Descriptive paper (letter + essay, 50 marks) Mains score का हिस्सा है और final merit में count होता है। बहुत से candidates इसे underprepare करते हैं और easy marks lose करते हैं। Concise, structured letters और essays practise करें।

SBI PO vs IBPS PO — फर्क क्या है

बहुत से candidates SBI PO और IBPS PO दोनों की तैयारी साथ करते हैं, और overlap बड़ा है — लेकिन differences मायने रखते हैं। SBI PO आमतौर पर tougher माना जाता है, especially Reasoning और Data Interpretation में, जहाँ SBI हर साल नए, ज्यादा complex question types लाता है। SBI के final phase में Group Exercise और Psychometric Test भी होते हैं। SBI Mains में descriptive paper का real weight है। SBI PO crack कर लें तो IBPS PO comparatively manageable हो जाता है।

एक practical difference: SBI "innovative" questions set करता है जो coaching material में नहीं देखे होते — particularly Reasoning puzzles और caselet DI में। यह genuine problem-solving ability वाले candidates को reward करता है। Shortcuts पर depend करने के बजाय fundamentals deeply build करें।

Cut-Off Trends — Target क्या रखें

SBI PO fixed cut-off पहले से release नहीं करता; यह difficulty और vacancies के अनुसार vary करता है। Past trends के आधार पर General category का Prelims cut-off typically 100 में से 50–60 marks रहा है, sectional cut-offs भी applicable। Mains के लिए interview call का overall cut-off historically total का ~40–50% रहा है। ये coaching analyses के indicative estimates हैं, official figures नहीं।

StageIndicative General Cut-offNote
Prelims (100 में से)~50–60Plus sectional cut-offs
Mains (objective + descriptive)~40–50% of totalInterview shortlist के लिए
Final (Mains + Interview)साल/vacancy अनुसारMerit = Mains + GE/Interview

Exam-Day Strategy — Prelims

हर section की 20-minute sectional timing में, section के अंदर order और selection सब तय करते हैं। Proven approach: English में पहले grammar/vocabulary (faster), फिर Reading Comprehension। Quant में पहले simplification, number series, quadratic equations से quick marks, फिर DI sets। Reasoning में पहले easier puzzles, सबसे complex arrangement last में। एक hard puzzle पर अटकें नहीं — वह कहीं और के 5–6 easy questions का नुकसान करा सकता है। High accuracy का लक्ष्य रखें: SBI PO में 90%+ accuracy के साथ 65–70 questions, 70% accuracy के साथ 85 questions से बेहतर है (negative marking के कारण)।

3 More Practice Questions

15. एक नाव 30 km downstream 3 घंटे में, return 5 घंटे में। Still water में नाव की speed?
उत्तर: Downstream 10 km/h, upstream 6 km/h। Boat speed = (10+6)/2 = 8 km/h।

16. P, Q, R किसी काम को 10, 15, 30 दिन में करते हैं। साथ मिलकर कितने दिन?
उत्तर: Combined rate = 1/10 + 1/15 + 1/30 = 6/30 = 1/5। यानी 5 दिन।

17. Percentage बढ़ोतरी: किसी item की कीमत ₹250 से ₹300 हुई। Increase %?
उत्तर: 50/250 × 100 = 20%।

Final Word — SBI PO Edge

SBI PO winnable है, लेकिन सिर्फ knowledge से नहीं। जो candidates इसे clear करते हैं वे दो चीजें consistently करते हैं: हर दिन sectional timing के साथ practise, और हर mock analyse करके ढूंढते हैं कि कौन से question types उन्हें slow करते हैं। एक personal "error log" बनाएं — हर गलत या skipped question note करें, categorise करें, उन categories को target करें। 6–8 weeks में यह disciplined feedback loop near-miss को selection में बदलता है।

Documents और Final Tips

SBI PO के लिए apply करते समय valid photo ID, scanned photo और signature तैयार रखें। Application में category और details carefully fill करें। Admit card exam से कुछ दिन पहले sbi.co.in से download होता है। Exam center पर समय से पहुँचें, photo ID और admit card साथ लाएं। Calculator, smartwatch, या phone exam hall में allowed नहीं है।

Data Interpretation में Speed — SBI PO का Differentiator

Data Interpretation वह जगह है जहाँ SBI PO genuinely जीता या हारा जाता है। Prelims और Mains दोनों में marks का बड़ा block DI sets से आता है, और SBI जानबूझकर इन्हें calculation-heavy और time-consuming बनाता है। जो candidates cut-off clear करते हैं वे ज्यादा formulas जानने वाले नहीं — वे DI set जल्दी पढ़कर, क्या पूछा गया पहचानकर, long division की बजाय mental-math shortcuts से compute करने वाले हैं। Estimate करना सीखें: approximate percentage पूछा हो तो exact answer की ज़रूरत नहीं। Fraction-percentage equivalents (1/8 = 12.5%, 1/6 = 16.67%, 3/8 = 37.5%) instantly use करें, 30 तक squares और 15 तक cubes याद रखें। ये small efficiencies 20-minute section में compound होती हैं।

रोज़ कम से कम एक caselet DI, एक tabular DI, और एक graphical DI practise करें। Caselet DI — जहाँ data paragraph में होता है — सबसे ज्यादा डरावना और SBI Mains में सबसे ज्यादा आने वाला type है। Trick: पहले paragraph को rough sheet पर अपनी quick table में convert करें, फिर solve करें। Caselet DI skip करने वाले easy marks उन्हें दे देते हैं जिन्होंने practise किया।

Mains General Awareness Section — Banking Focus

SBI PO Mains में General/Economy/Banking Awareness section silent game-changer हो सकता है क्योंकि यह एकमात्र section है जिसे आप पढ़ा हो तो लगभग instantly answer कर सकते हैं — no calculation, no reasoning, सिर्फ recall। Focus: RBI functions और monetary policy tools (repo, reverse repo, CRR, SLR, MSF), accounts और deposits के types, NPA और provisioning basics, important banking committees, recent RBI circulars, government schemes (Jan Dhan, Mudra, PM-Kisan, Atal Pension), और पिछले छह महीने के banking current affairs। Strong GA score effectively calculation-heavy sections में time खरीदता है।

Mental Health और Mock Discipline

SBI PO preparation की एक under-discussed reality: यह marathon है जो aptitude जितना ही persistence test करता है। बहुत से capable candidates ability की कमी से नहीं, बल्कि burn out या एक खराब mock के बाद confidence खोने से fail होते हैं। हर mock को data मानें, verdict नहीं। Week 3 का low mock score week 8 के बारे में कुछ नहीं कहता — मायने यह रखता है कि आपने उसे analyse करके gaps fix किए या नहीं। Steady routine रखें, exam से पहले अच्छी नींद लें, और exam conditions को दर्जनों बार simulate करके hall में जाएं।

SBI में Career Growth

SBI PO selection सिर्फ एक नौकरी नहीं — यह देश के सबसे बड़े बैंक में एक officer career की शुरुआत है। Probationary Officer के रूप में join करने के बाद, performance और departmental exams के आधार पर promotion ladder है: Officer → Manager → Chief Manager → AGM → DGM → GM। SBI international postings, specialised roles (treasury, forex, credit), और leadership opportunities भी देता है। Starting in-hand लगभग ₹85,000–₹90,000 (metro) के साथ, यह banking sector में सबसे prestigious entry-level officer roles में से एक है।
