Massive Response to Recruitment Drive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The hiring process attracted 9,00,771 applicants<\/strong>, reflecting the high demand for banking jobs in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Preliminary examination:<\/strong> Conducted in September 2025<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Main examination:<\/strong> Held in November 2025<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    Over 18,000 Employees Hired in FY26<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    With the addition of these new recruits, SBI has now hired more than 18,000 employees across various roles and grades in the financial year 2025-26<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This marks one of the bank\u2019s largest recruitment drives in recent years<\/strong>, highlighting its commitment to strengthening its workforce as banking activity continues to expand across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The large-scale hiring initiative is expected to help improve service quality, especially at the branch level where customer interactions remain critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Strengthening Branch Banking Services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    • Processing transactions and documentation<\/li>\n\n\n\n

      SBI\u2019s Long-Term Hiring Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      SBI Chairman Challa Sreenivasulu Setty<\/strong> said the recruitment reflects the bank\u2019s commitment to strengthening its workforce and building a digitally skilled talent pool<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The bank plans to hire around 16,000 employees annually in the coming years<\/strong> as part of its strategy to expand operations and double its total business to \u20b9200 lakh crore over the next five to six years<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Boost for Employment in Banking Sector<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      The recruitment drive also highlights SBI\u2019s role as one of India\u2019s largest employers. The bank currently employs over 2.48 lakh people<\/strong>, making it a major source of stable employment in the banking industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
