- Acts as a screening exam.
- Marks are not counted for final merit but are required to succeed for Mains.
2. Main Examination (Mains)
- More detailed and tougher than Prelims.
- Includes subjects like Data Analysis, Reasoning, English, General Awareness (with banking focus), and Computer Aptitude.

- For POs and SOs, marks from Mains are very significant in the final selection.
3. Group Conversation & Interview (For PO and some SO posts)
- Shortlisted candidates are called for GD and Interview to assess communication, self-confidence, and decision-making skills.
4. Language Proficiency Test (For Clerks)
- Candidates must show proficiency in the local verbal of the state they apply for.
5. Ending Selection
