🔔 🔔 CIBIL Clause हटाया गया — SBI PO 2026 का बड़ा Update
SBI ने Corrigendum जारी करके CRPD/PO/2026-27/09 notification से CIBIL/credit history clause को completely remove कर दिया है। अब candidates की loan default history या adverse CIBIL record recruitment को affect नहीं करेगी। जो candidates पहले apply कर चुके हैं उन्हें दोबारा apply नहीं करना — उनका application valid रहेगा। यह अभी तक की सबसे बड़ी SBI PO policy change है।

SBI PO (Probationary Officer) भारत का सबसे prestigious banking exam है। State Bank of India — जो देश का सबसे बड़ा public sector bank है — हर साल POs को recruit करता है। 2026 में vacancies 541 (2025) से बढ़कर 1500 हो गई हैं — यह recent years का सबसे बड़ा SBI PO intake है।
क्यों apply करें:
