Mains cut-off, General (out of 200)
| State | 2025 |
|---|---|
| Tamil Nadu | 97.75 |
| Karnataka | 78.50 |
Across States, the 2025 General Mains cut-off ranged from about 78.50 to 97.75.
What this tells you: Prelims has no sectional cut-off, but the State cut-off is high, often above 75. In Mains, aim for 110 or more out of 200 to be safe in most States.
How the cut-off is set
| Stage | Rule |
|---|---|
| Prelims (100 marks) | No sectional or overall minimum; shortlisting on merit |
| Mains (200 marks) | Aggregate minimum set by SBI (5% lower for SC/ST/OBC/PwBD/ex-servicemen); no sectional minimum |
| Final list | Mains aggregate, State-wise and category-wise |
| Wait list | Up to 50% of vacancies, valid for one year |
What this means for you
- You can skip a weak section in Prelims without being eliminated for it, as long as your total is high. This is different from IBPS Clerk.
- Mains is the whole game. The final list uses only Mains marks.
- Wait lists help. SBI has released several wait lists in recent cycles, so a rank just below the cut-off can still get a call.
