🎓 Discipline & Educational Qualification
Post: Bank Medical Officer (BMO-II)
- Mandatory: MBBS degree from a university/college recognized by the National Medical Commission (NMC) or State Medical Council
- Preferred (Higher Pay Benefit): Post Graduate Diploma OR PG Degree (MD/MS) or equivalent
Experience Required:
- MBBS holders → Minimum 5 years as a General Practitioner (post-NMC/State registration)
- PG Degree holders → Minimum 3 years as a General Practitioner (post-NMC/State registration)
Note: Internship and teaching/training experience will NOT be counted.
Eligibility criteria make this position perfect for the experienced medical professionals seeking transition from private practice to a stable banking sector career. The candidates with PG qualification have an obvious advantage as far as lower experience criteria and increased salary are concerned. Pay special attention to the correspondence between NMC/State Medical Council registration date and experience criteria.
📉 Minimum Qualifying Marks
- Exact category-wise cutoff marks are not pre-disclosed in the notification — they will be decided by the Bank after the exam.
- All sections except Professional Knowledge are qualifying in nature; candidates must clear minimum qualifying marks in each, plus the PK cutoff to be shortlisted for interview.
As the SBI does not disclose the cut off mark in advance, candidates must try to achieve high Professional Knowledge marks, as that is the criterion for shortlisting. Visit the official website time to time for getting the latest cutoff marks.
🎂 Age Limit
- Maximum Age (as on 31.05.2026): 35 years
- Minimum Age: Not separately specified (implied 21+ as per standard medical eligibility)
Age Relaxation:
| Category | Relaxation |
|---|---|
| OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) | 3 years |
| SC/ST | 5 years |
| PwBD (UR/EWS) | 10 years |
| PwBD (OBC) | 13 years |
| PwBD (SC/ST) | 15 years |
| Ex-Servicemen | 5 years |
Note: Cumulative relaxation is NOT allowed — only one category benefit applies.
The candidates for reserved categories have sufficient leeway due to age relaxation, particularly those candidates in the PwBD category, who can avail themselves of an additional 15 years. Remember to bring along your relaxation certificates during interviews since no claims will be entertained thereafter.
💰 Application Fee
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| General / EWS / OBC | ₹750/- |
| SC / ST / PwBD | NIL (No fee) |
Payment Mode: Online only — Debit Card / Credit Card / Internet Banking via payment gateway
The fee is quite reasonable for a Banking Job Grade-II Middle Management position, while the fee for SC/ST/PwBD applicants is waived completely. Note that once you have paid the fees, they will not be refunded under any circumstances.
⚙️ Selection Process
The selection involves 3 stages:
- Online Written Test (Tentatively August 2026)
- Interview (100 marks)
- Local Language Proficiency Test (LLPT) — for provisionally selected candidates before joining
Weightage: Written Test 70% + Interview 30%
Such a multi-step process ensures that having only good knowledge about the subject is not sufficient, but also good communication skills along with basic proficiency in the local language of the Circle. Those doctors who have undergone training in the local language at 10th/12th level are exempt from LLPT.
