Hi. Myself Raj. Will you please tell me difference between IBPS PO and state bank of Bank examination ?

[Kiran Chandar]

Hello Raj here we tell you difference between IBPS PO and state bank of
Bank examination as follows

The Main Differences are :

similarities, yet these differ in the maximum score per section. Also, there
are some sections that differ in the IBPS PO and SBI PO online exam.

IBPS online test has five sections with variable maximum marks.

On the other hand, SBI online test has four sections with equal distribution
of marks.

The Reasoning section in the SBI PO online test has questions of a higher
difficulty level compared to the former.

General awareness and computer knowledge, in the IBPS exam are two
separate sections. Additionally, the general knowledge section is based more
on that relating to the banking sector.

The SBI test, on the other hand, has a single section comprising of questions
related to General Knowledge, Computer know how and Marketing
knowledge.

A section testing the Quantitative Aptitude of candidates in IBPS online test is
mainly arithmetic. While, the corresponding Data Analysis and Interpretation
section in SBI online test is a section based on assessment and understanding
of data provided in the forms of tables.

Besides the online test, the State Bank of India also conducts an offline test
of 1 hour duration.

The scores obtained by the candidates in this test also contribute to the final
score. No such test is conducted by the Institute of Banking Personnel
Selection.

SBI also holds a group discussion session while assessing the candidates for
recruitment as Probationary Officers.

IBPS does not conduct any group discussions as part of the selection
procedure.

The personal interview, which is the last stage of the selection process, adds
a maximum score of 100 to a candidate’s score in IBPS PO Exam.

This score is reduced to slightly more than a third, i.e. merely 30 marks in
SBI PO Exam.

Another difference between the two is that SBI recruitment exam selection
cut – off is much higher than the IBPS Common Written Exam cut – off.
