New Delhi, August 14, 2025 – The State Bank of India (SBI) has released the first waiting list for the post of Junior Associates (Customer Support & Sales) under the 2025 recruitment drive. This list covers candidates who have been provisionally selected to fill vacancies left vacant due to earlier selected candidates not joining or resigning after selection.
The updated list is now available on the bank’s official website, sbi.co.in, where candidates can check their selection status.
Selection Based on Provisional Status
SBI has clarified that inclusion in the waiting list does not guarantee final selection. The appointment will be confirmed only after candidates successfully clear the Local Language Proficiency Test and document verification process.
This waiting list has been prepared to ensure that all vacant positions are filled promptly. Such vacancies often arise when shortlisted candidates fail to report for joining or choose to resign soon after.
Earlier Results and Examination Details
On June 11, 2025, SBI announced the final results for the main examination of Junior Associates recruitment, which was conducted to fill 14,191 vacancies across India.
The recruitment process began with a Preliminary Examination, followed by the Main Examination, which was held on April 10 and April 12, 2025, for candidates who qualified in the prelims.
Special Recruitment Drive for Ladakh
Alongside the main recruitment, SBI has also issued a waiting list for its special recruitment drive in the Union Territory of Ladakh. This includes vacancies in Leh and the Kargil Valley, where 13 candidates have been provisionally shortlisted.
As with the main list, these candidates must also clear the local language test and document verification to secure their appointment.
