SBI SCO Eligibility Criteria 2026

Eligibility is post-specific, and both your qualification and your years of relevant experience matter here. All criteria are counted as on 31 August 2026.

✅ Teaching and training experience will not count towards eligibility, and any stint shorter than six months at an organisation is not considered valid experience.

SBI SCO Age Limit 2026 (as on 31 August 2026)

The maximum age shown is for Unreserved (UR) candidates. Reserved category candidates get the standard age relaxation as per Government of India rules. 💡 Pro Tip: Use our online Age Calculator to check your exact age before applying.

SBI SCO Application Fee

The fee is non-refundable and must be paid online through Debit Card, Credit Card, or Internet Banking. Once paid, it cannot be adjusted against any other SBI exam or recruitment drive.

SBI SCO Salary and CTC 2026

This is one of the biggest draws of SBI SCO Recruitment 2026 — these are contract roles, but the pay is genuinely competitive with the private banking sector.

The final CTC is negotiable and depends on your experience, your current salary, and your place of posting. On top of the base package, every post is eligible for Performance Linked Pay (0% to 45% of Fixed Pay) and an Annual Increment Band tied to your performance rating. The contract runs for 5 years, renewable for another 4 years at the Bank’s discretion, and either side can exit with two months’ notice.

SBI SCO Selection Process 2026

Selection for SBI SCO Recruitment 2026 happens in three stages:

1. Shortlisting — Meeting the minimum qualification and experience doesn’t guarantee an interview call. The shortlisting committee decides both the parameters and the number of candidates to be called.
2. Interview — One or more rounds of personal, telephonic, or video interview, carrying 100 marks. The Bank decides the qualifying marks.
3. CTC Negotiation — Conducted individually with shortlisted candidates, either during or right after the interview.

The final merit list is prepared purely on interview scores, in descending order. If two candidates tie at the cut-off, the older candidate gets preference.
