**Mumbai, India** – The State Bank of India (SBI) has announced a major recruitment drive, opening 13,735 vacancies for Junior Associates (Customer Support & Sales). Applications open December 17, 2024, and close January 7, 2025.
This significant recruitment initiative provides a substantial opportunity for Indian citizens seeking employment in the banking sector. The positions are state-specific, requiring proficiency in the local language of the chosen state or union territory. While a local language proficiency test will be conducted post-Main Examination, candidates with proof of studying the local language in 10th or 12th grade will be exempt.
The selection process involves a two-stage examination: a Preliminary Exam (tentatively scheduled for February 2025) and a Main Exam (likely in March/April 2025). Applicants must hold a graduate degree from a recognized university and fall within the age limit of 20 to 28 years (relaxations apply as per government norms). Crucially, these positions do not offer inter-circle or interstate transfers.
Interested candidates can apply through the official SBI websites: https://bank.sbi/web/careers/current-openings or https://www.sbi.co.in/web/careers/current-openings. A direct link to the notification PDF is also available. Further updates on exam patterns, admit cards, and other details will be released in due course.
