SBI PO Admit Card 2026 – Prelims Exam Date & Download

SBI PO Admit Card 2026 now has two separate parts, and mixing them up is the most common mistake candidates make. SBI released the Pre-Exam Training (PET) call letter on 17.07.2026, but that is only for SC/ST/OBC/PwBD candidates who specifically opted for training while applying. The main Preliminary Examination admit card, which every candidate needs for the actual selection process, has not been released yet and is expected any day now, ahead of the Phase I exam tentatively scheduled for August 2026. This page explains both, clearly separated, so you download the correct one for your situation.

SBI PO PET Call Letter 2026 – Released 17.07.2026

Pre-Exam Training is a free, optional preparation facility SBI offers to first-time and reserved-category candidates before the actual Prelims exam. It has its own separate call letter and its own separate schedule, communicated mainly through the registered email and mobile number. If you did not tick the PET option while applying, this call letter does not apply to you and you should skip straight to the section below.

SBI PO Prelims Admit Card 2026 – Main Exam, Still Pending

Since the PET call letter has already gone out and Phase I is tentatively set for August, the general Prelims admit card is realistically due within the next one to two weeks. SBI has not announced an exact date, so treat any specific day quoted elsewhere as an estimate rather than an official confirmation. This page will be updated with the direct download link the moment it goes live.

How to Download Either Call Letter

1. Visit the official SBI careers portal at sbi.bank.in/web/careers/current-openings.
2. Open the SBI PO Recruitment 2026-27 (CRPD/PO/2026-27/09) notification, then choose PET call letter or Prelims call letter depending on which applies to you.
3. Enter your Registration Number or Roll Number.
4. Enter your Password or Date of Birth as set during registration.
5. Fill the captcha code, click Login, and download the PDF.
6. Keep at least two printed copies ready for the exam or training centre.

Do not rely on links shared through WhatsApp or Telegram groups. SBI issues both call letters only through its own recruitment portal, and third-party mirror links are a common source of outdated or incorrect information during this window.

Documents to Carry

Along with the printed call letter, carry one valid original photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN, Voter ID, Passport or Driving Licence matching the name on your application), a recent passport-size photograph, and any category or PwBD certificate mentioned on the letter itself. The call letter will confirm the exact centre, date, and reporting time, so those details cannot be predicted in advance.
