SBI Clerk Admit Card 2026: Is the Preliminary Call Letter Available?
SBI labels the Clerk exam document as a Junior Associate preliminary call letter. Match Advertisement No. CRPD/CR/2026-27/17 before downloading.
The short answer
For the regular 2026 SBI Clerk recruitment, SBI uses the official name Junior Associate (Customer Support & Sales). Its Advertisement No. is CRPD/CR/2026-27/17.
The SBI Current Openings page currently shows Download Preliminary Examination Call Letter for this recruitment. SBI’s listing gives the preliminary examination as tentatively scheduled for 26 and 27 September 2026.
So, if you applied for the regular Junior Associate recruitment, the preliminary admit card is available through SBI’s official Careers listing under the term call letter.
Match the advertisement number before downloading
The Current Openings page also contains a separate Junior Associate Special Recruitment Drive for SC/ST/OBC backlog vacancies, Advertisement No. CRPD/CR/SPLDRIVE/2026-27/16. That listing also has a preliminary call-letter link, but it is not the regular SBI Clerk recruitment.
This distinction matters more than the search phrase you used. A call-letter link by itself does not confirm that it belongs to your application. For the regular 2026 recruitment, check that the page says Junior Associate (Customer Support & Sales) and CRPD/CR/2026-27/17.
How to reach the correct call letter
- Open SBI’s Careers → Current Openings page.
- Find Recruitment of Junior Associates (Customer Support & Sales).
- Confirm Advertisement No. CRPD/CR/2026-27/17.
- Select Download Preliminary Examination Call Letter and complete the download steps shown by the official portal.
The Junior Associate Careers page says that examination call letters are uploaded on SBI’s website for candidates to download; a hard copy is not sent by post. Waiting for a paper admit card is therefore not the right way to check this update.
Why the exam date still needs care
SBI’s detailed English advertisement describes the preliminary examination only as tentatively scheduled for September 2026. The live Current Openings listing gives the narrower tentative dates of 26 and 27 September 2026.
Read together, the current listing provides the more specific schedule currently displayed by SBI, while the word tentatively remains important. The call letter and the live Careers page should be treated as the final check for the instructions attached to your application.
Bottom line
For the regular SBI Clerk 2026 application, look for Junior Associate (Customer Support & Sales), Advertisement No. CRPD/CR/2026-27/17, and use the preliminary call-letter link on SBI’s Current Openings page. Do not confuse it with the separate backlog-vacancy drive numbered CRPD/CR/SPLDRIVE/2026-27/16.
