State Bank of India Opens Applications for CBO Recruitment 2026; Online Registration Begins for Banking Aspirants

The State Bank of India (SBI) has opened the online application window for recruitment to the post of Circle Based Officer (CBO) for the 2026 cycle, inviting eligible candidates across India to apply within the stipulated deadline. The notification, released this week, outlines vacancies, eligibility criteria, selection procedures, and application guidelines for one of the country’s most sought-after banking positions.

According to the official recruitment notice, the application process is being conducted entirely online through SBI’s careers portal. Candidates must register, fill out the digital form, upload required documents, and pay the prescribed fee before the closing date. The bank has advised applicants to complete submissions early to avoid last-minute technical issues.

The CBO recruitment drive is aimed at strengthening SBI’s operational workforce across regional circles. Officials said the hiring is part of the bank’s periodic manpower planning strategy to ensure adequate staffing in branches and administrative units. The CBO role typically involves customer relationship management, credit processing, branch operations, and compliance responsibilities.

Eligibility requirements include a graduation degree from a recognized university and relevant banking experience, as specified in the notification. Age limits and relaxations vary by category in accordance with government recruitment norms. Applicants must also demonstrate proficiency in the local language of the circle for which they apply, a requirement designed to enhance customer service at the regional level.

The selection process will consist of an online written examination followed by screening and interview stages. The written test will assess candidates on banking knowledge, general awareness, computer aptitude, and reasoning ability. Shortlisted candidates will be called for interviews, after which a final merit list will be prepared based on combined performance.

Recruitment analysts note that SBI’s CBO examinations attract large numbers of applicants each year due to the stability, salary structure, and career progression associated with the position. Banking sector jobs continue to remain highly competitive, particularly in public sector institutions.

Applicants are advised to read the detailed notification carefully before applying to ensure they meet all eligibility conditions. Incomplete or inaccurate applications may be rejected at any stage of the selection process.

The bank has not yet announced the exact examination date but stated that it will be communicated through the official website and admit cards. Candidates are encouraged to monitor updates regularly.
