SBI has also listed 2,086 backlog vacancies along with the regular vacancies in the SBI Clerk Notification 2026. These include backlog posts under SC/ST/OBC, PwBD, and Ex-Servicemen/Disabled Ex-Servicemen categories. The notification specifically states that the SC/ST/OBC backlog vacancies shown in this recruitment are net of the vacancies already advertised under the Special Recruitment Drive, Advertisement No. CRPD/CR/SPLDRIVE/2026-27/16.
Candidates should therefore check both the category and State/UT before applying because backlog availability differs significantly across locations.
