SBI PO Cut Off Detailed Analysis

Now the question comes that how much overall marks are required to qualify SBI PO. Overall for a General category student, total 58.93 marks (out of 100) will be required to qualify.

Now let’s analyze how:

Final marks are counted by counting Phase II (Objective + Descriptive) + Phase III (GD + Interview) and the breakup for the final 100 marks will be like this:

Mains (Objective + Descriptive) = 75

GD & Interview = 25

Total = 100

Now for example average marks secured by the selected candidates in GD + Interview = 30 (out of 50)

Which mean that out of 25 the score will be 15.

So remaining 43.93 (58.93 – 15) marks are to be secured in Mains (Objective + Descriptive) exam or in other words:

43.93 marks (out of 75 marks)

Now, 43.93 x 250/75 = 146.43 marks

Therefore a selected candidate would have secured around 146.43 marks out of 250 marks or about 58%.
