State Bank of India, SBI Clerk 2021 exam date for preliminary examinations was postponed. Earlier scheduled to be conducted in the month of June, the bank had released the notice to defer the examinations. With the preliminary exams now postponed, it is likely that the SBI Clerk 2021 exam date for main examinations of July 31 may also get postponed.

As per the experts, SBI can still conduct the main examination on July 31 provided the preliminary examinations are conducted in the first week of July. Sources close to the recruitment board of the bank have shared that exam dates would only be declared when it is conducive to conduct large scale examinations.

As for the July 31 exam for SBI Clerk Mains, if the preliminary exams are conducted after July 15, experts are of the opinion that the main exam would be shifted to August mid. Actual gap of about 15 to 21 days between the two (preliminary and main exam) is required.
