SBI PO Cut Off 2018
State Bank of India had conducted the SBI PO exam on 1st July 2018. The exam will continue on 7th and 8th July 2018. According to the exam held on Sunday, we have analysed and prepared this expected SBI PO cut off for 2018. Based on the feedback we received from students, the paper was moderate in difficulty level. However, since sectional timing was applicable, the students had to choose the questions to attempt very carefully. If careful selection of easy and less time-consuming questions were not done, it led to poor overall exam performance. Also, the English section has new types of question this time. Scroll down to see the expected cut off for SBI PO 2018 exam.
