Congratulations to all selected….
Few points for people which might be of your help.
1) You all will be allotted a circle (state) according to merit i.e total marks scored out of 100. You will be working in this circle for atleast next 8 years . (Unless you apply for inter circle transfer and your request gets accepted). Circle is allotted within 24 hours of result.
2) Joining is normally within 2-3 months of the final result.
3) Medical normally happens 15-20 days before joining. You will receive mail/SMS from the allotted circle. There are set of designated hospitals in the circle where you can get your medical done. The report will be submitted in LHO.
4) After medical there is document verification and pre joining formalities like pf form filling, experience certificate submission and all.
5) You will receive your joining date on mail.
Imp: In my batch we were given option to join at later stage as well if given valid reason.
There were 2 joining dates 29th December 2017 and 30 March 2018.
6) IMP for UPSC aspirants ::::: last year SBI provided an option to take one year extension and join with next batch if you want to prepare for upsc/higher Study. Points to note here :: it will be granted if allowed by agm hr of that circle. If you are adamant they will give one year extension. Obviously your seniority batch will be next batch ie 2019😟 .
Personal advice: if you are serious about upsc do take this extension because you will not get time here in sbi. Take extension and go full throttle.
for point 5) and 6) if you want an extension of 3 months or 1 year respectively then you have to mail l&d department of your circle after receiving joining date by mail/post whichever is earlier.
if you take 3 months extension then your batch will not change ie you will be PO 2018 batch only . If you take 1 year extension , your batch will change ie you will be PO 2019 batch.
