Biometric Verification:
To maintain error-free and secure selection criteria the bank may digitally record the thumb impression of the candidates. This step is performed to check the authenticity of the candidate. If the candidate fails in the biometric test, then his/ her application will be rejected. Hence, candidates are advised to avoid the use of ink, mehendi, chemical etc. and their hands.
Attempts:
The number of attempts is fixed for SBI Po. The candidate can appear for the Preliminary round for numerous times but appearing for Main Examination will be counted as an attempt.
