The SBI PO Cut Off is released separately for every stage of the recruitment process:

• Prelims Cut Off
• Mains Cut Off
• Final Cut Off
• Interview Qualifying Marks

For students, the most important thing to understand is this:

Prelims cut off is only for shortlisting to Mains.
Mains cut off is for shortlisting to Phase III.
Final cut off is the actual selection benchmark.

SBI’s careers portal confirms the stage-wise recruitment flow for PO, and the official PO advertisements state that candidates are shortlisted category-wise from one phase to the next. SBI’s current PO recruitment pages also show separate result and marks utilities for the recent cycles.

The 2025 Prelims cut off for the General category moved to 66.75, which is higher than 2024 and 2023 in your data. OBC remained close at 65.50, while EWS stood at 64.50. This indicates a stronger qualifying competition level in Phase I.

The 2025 Mains cut off shows UR and EWS both at 75, while OBC stands at 69.50. SC, ST, VI, HI, and LD all remain in the low-60s range. This means the Main exam remained competitive, but the cut off band stayed more moderate than some earlier cycles like 2024 and 2021.

The final cut off for UR is 46.79, which is slightly above 2024 and 2023 in your data. OBC closes at 41.84, and EWS at 41.16. VI is relatively strong at 44.95. For final selection strategy, students should focus more on the normalized final score pattern than only the raw Mains marks.

SBI’s 2024-25 PO recruitment cycle is visible on the careers results page, where SBI lists the Main Exam Result, Final Result, and Marks Secured by Candidates for the cycle under advertisement number CRPD/PO/2024-25/22.

Compared with 2025, the 2024 Prelims cut off is lower in every major category. UR was 61.75, OBC 60.50, and EWS 60.25. This suggests either a relatively more difficult paper or different competition dynamics at the screening stage.

This is one of the strongest Mains cut off years in your data. UR and EWS both reached 87.50, which is significantly above 2025 and 2023. OBC, SC, ST, VI, and LD all stood at 75, creating a very sharp shortlist standard for Phase III.

The final UR cut off was 46.24, very close to 2025. OBC closed at 40.96, while EWS dropped to 36.85. LD remained comparatively strong at 42.04. This shows that even though 2024 had a much higher Mains cut off, the final normalized cut off stayed in a similar band to 2025.

These interview qualifying marks are stable and match the familiar SBI PO interview threshold pattern seen in other recent years.

SBI’s careers infrastructure also contains the PO marks utility for the 2023-24 cycle, confirming the official stage-wise result-and-marks framework for this recruitment year as well.

The 2023 Prelims cut off is lower than both 2024 and 2025. General, OBC, and EWS all closed at 59.25, making it the lowest mainstream prelims benchmark in your recent three-year trend.

The Mains benchmark in 2023 is clearly lower than 2024. General and EWS stood at 70, OBC at 62.25, and most reserved/PwBD categories were around 57.50 to 58.25. This makes 2023 one of the easier shortlisting years among the recent cycles in your data.

The General final cut off was 44.60, slightly below 2024 and 2025. OBC came at 39.73, SC at 37.15, and ST at 36.45. This year shows a slightly softer final selection benchmark.

The General and EWS cut offs both stood at 59.50, with OBC at 58.25. This is very close to 2023 and confirms that the 2022-23 screening level was considerably below the 2025 prelims benchmark.

The table you shared for 2022 is presented as the final cut off benchmark. It is one of the strongest final-score years in your dataset, particularly for VI at 93.08, GEN at 88.93, and EWS at 84.60. This is materially higher than the final normalized cut off presentation used for later years, so on the published page it should be clearly labeled exactly the way SBI/scorecard presentation defines it.

The General cut off was 63, which is above 2023 and 2022 but below 2025. OBC remained close at 61.25 and EWS at 62.75.

This is the highest Mains cut off year in your full set. GEN reached 94.85 and VI reached 97.72. EWS also stayed very high at 90.01, and OBC at 86.54. This year represents a very strong shortlist standard.

The General final cut off reached 53.40, which is the highest final benchmark in your data. OBC was 47.41, EWS 47.94, and VI 49.93. This makes 2021 one of the strongest overall final selection years.

The trend shows a rise from the 2023-2024 band into a sharper 2025 benchmark. Among the recent years in your data, 2025 had the highest General prelims cut off.

The Mains trend fluctuates sharply. 2021 is the highest year in your table, followed by 2022 and 2024. 2023 is the lowest among the listed years, while 2025 remained moderate.

Across the years where a normalized final cut off is clearly available in your data, 2021 is the highest, while 2023 is the lowest. 2024 and 2025 are very close to each other.

Students often panic over prelims cut off. That is a mistake. Prelims is only for moving to Mains.

The real shortlist pressure comes in Mains. SBI’s own recruitment flow confirms the stage-wise merit progression from Phase I to Phase II to Phase III.

If the goal is final selection, students should track the final cut off trend more seriously than only prelims numbers.

In your dataset, those years show much tighter shortlist/final competition.

A practical planning target can be:

• General: 68+
• OBC: 65+
• SC: 60+
• ST: 53+

A practical planning target can be:

• General: 90+
• OBC: 82+
• SC: 75+
• ST: 70+

These are planning benchmarks, not official cut offs.
