The SBI Clerk Age Band
SBI Clerk (Junior Associate, Customer Support & Sales) requires candidates to be at least 20 years old and to not have crossed 28 years as on the notification's reference date. As with every exam in this family, the upper bound is exclusive: a candidate who turns exactly 28 on the reference date has already crossed the limit, and the oldest eligible candidate is one day short of their 28th birthday.
Category-wise Relaxation
SBI publishes a finer-grained PwBD table than most other banks:
| Category | Relaxation on upper age |
|---|---|
| General / EWS | +0 |
| OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) | +3 years |
| SC / ST | +5 years |
| PwBD (General/EWS) | +10 years |
| PwBD (OBC-NCL) | +13 years |
| PwBD (SC/ST) | +15 years |
Eligible Ex-servicemen and a few other departmental categories get their own relaxation provisions that this calculator doesn't model as a flat number — check the notification's relaxation table directly if one of those applies to you.
Why This Encodes the 2025 Cycle
SBI runs a fresh recruitment cycle for Junior Associates roughly every year. As of this tool's last verification (August 2026), the SBI Clerk 2026 notification's exact figures had not been confirmed from primary sourcing, though it was widely expected around this time. This calculator encodes the 2025 cycle, the most recently completed one, with a clear date stamp; the 20–28 age band has been stable for several cycles, but you should re-confirm the exact reference date once the current-year notification is verified.
What Disqualifies You
- Being younger than 20, or having already turned 28 (or your relaxed upper limit), as on the reference date.
- Not holding a graduate degree in any discipline from a recognised university — SBI Clerk's minimum qualification requirement is separate from, and in addition to, the age criterion.
- Claiming a category relaxation without a currently-valid caste/disability certificate in the format SBI prescribes.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is SBI Clerk different from SBI PO? SBI PO uses a higher age band (21–30) than SBI Clerk (20–28), and the two are recruited through entirely separate processes with different exams and roles.
Does the relaxation apply to the minimum age too? No — only the upper age limit is relaxed; every candidate, regardless of category, must be at least 20.
When is the SBI Clerk 2026 notification expected? Around August 2026 based on prior-year patterns, but this had not been officially confirmed as of this tool's last verification — check sbi.co.in directly for the latest status.
Is this the official SBI eligibility checker? No. This is an independent, browser-only estimate built from the most recently completed notification. Always cross-check your exact date of birth and category against the live notification at sbi.co.in.
Is my data stored anywhere? No. The check runs entirely in your browser; nothing is transmitted to a server.
