Your Roll Number Is in the List. That Doesn’t Mean You’ve Got the Job Yet.
Seen the headline doing the rounds — “SBI SO Law Officer Result Out” — and felt your stomach drop or soar? Hold on a second. Before you start telling everyone you’ve got selected, let’s get one thing straight, because this is exactly where most candidates trip up.
This result is not a final selection list. It’s an interview shortlist. Your roll number appearing in the PDF means you cleared the online written test and you’ve earned a seat in the interview round. Nothing more, nothing less. The job itself gets decided after the interview, when SBI weighs your written test score and your interview performance together.
So if your number is there — brilliant. You’ve beaten a huge field. But the race isn’t over. Let’s go through what SBI actually declared, how to check it properly, and what comes next.
Short Information
The State Bank of India (SBI) has declared the SBI SO Law Officer Result 2026 on 13 October 2026 for the Specialist Cadre Officer (Law) recruitment under Advertisement No. CRPD/SCO/2026-27/02. The result is based on the online written test held on 23 August 2026 and shortlists candidates for the interview round — 80 for Deputy Manager (Law) and 1,100 for Assistant Manager (Law) — against 49 total vacancies. Candidates can check their roll number in the separate result PDFs for each post in the Careers section of sbi.bank.in. The interview carries 100 marks; its schedule and call letters have not been announced yet.
SBI SO Law Officer Result 2026: Important Dates
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Notification Released (Advt. No. CRPD/SCO/2026-27/02) | 24 June 2026 |
| Online Application Window | 24 June – 14 July 2026 |
| Admit Card Released | 12 August 2026 |
| Online Written Test | 23 August 2026 |
| Result Declared (Interview Shortlist) | 13 October 2026 |
| Interview Date | Not announced yet |
| Interview Call Letter | Not announced yet |
One small honesty note: one outlet reported the result date as 12 October, but the majority of result trackers — and the date carried on the result coverage itself — point to 13 October 2026. That’s the date we’ve gone with.
Vacancies and Shortlist: Post-Wise Breakup
| Post | Grade | Vacancies | Shortlisted for Interview |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assistant Manager (Law) | JMGS-I | 20 | 1,100 |
| Deputy Manager (Law) | MMGS-II | 29 (27 regular + 2 ST backlog) | 80 |
| Total | – | 49 | 1,180 |
Category-wise, the Assistant Manager seats split as SC 3, ST 1, OBC 5, EWS 2 and UR 9. The Deputy Manager regular seats split as SC 4, ST 2, OBC 7, EWS 2 and UR 12, with the 2 extra backlog seats reserved for ST candidates. SBI has said all along that these vacancy numbers are provisional and can change, so treat them as the current picture, not a carved-in-stone promise.
And yes — 1,100 names for 20 Assistant Manager seats looks wild next to 80 names for 29 Deputy Manager seats. SBI shortlists category-wise and decides the numbers itself, and the Deputy Manager pool was always going to be tighter — it demands four years of post-enrolment experience against two for the Assistant Manager post.
For context on what you’re playing for, the starting basic pay is Rs. 48,480 for Assistant Manager (Law) and Rs. 64,820 for Deputy Manager (Law), with DA, HRA, CCA, Provident Fund, NPS, medical facility, leave fare concession and other perks on top as per SBI rules. Results like this one land in our Result section as soon as they are declared, so it’s worth keeping an eye on that page through the interview season.
How to Check the SBI SO Law Officer Result 2026
There’s no login, no scorecard portal, no marks to look up at this stage. The result is a plain PDF list of roll numbers. Here’s how to check it without falling for a fake link:
- Go to the official SBI website at sbi.bank.in. Type it yourself — don’t trust a random “result link” forwarded in a WhatsApp group.
- Open the Careers section from the homepage.
- Look for the Recruitment Results / Current Openings notices for Specialist Cadre Officer (Law), Advertisement No. CRPD/SCO/2026-27/02.
- You’ll find separate result PDFs for the two posts. Open the one for the post you applied to — Assistant Manager (Law) JMGS-I or Deputy Manager (Law) MMGS-II.
- When the PDF opens, press Ctrl + F (or use Find on your phone) and type your roll number.
- If your roll number shows up, you’re shortlisted for the interview. Download the PDF and keep a copy saved — you’ll want it later.
- If it doesn’t show up, your run in this recruitment ends here. Check the spelling of your roll number once, then accept the outcome and move on.
What’s actually in the PDF? Just three things: the recruitment and post name, the roll numbers of shortlisted candidates, and their status as provisionally shortlisted for interview. No marks, no ranks, no cut-offs — and anyone claiming to know “the cut-off” right now is guessing.
What Happens Next: The Interview Stage
Shortlisted candidates now face the interview, which carries 100 marks. The final merit list is prepared with 70% weightage to the online written test and 30% weightage to the interview. That split matters — a strong written test score gives you a real cushion, but a poor interview can still undo it. The qualifying marks in the interview are decided by the Bank.
SBI has not announced the interview schedule, venue or call letter yet. When it does, expect the details on the SBI Careers page — the call letter will likely be uploaded on the website or sent by email, and no hard copy will come by post. Keep your registration number and login details safe, because you’ll need them to download the call letter. Check the official Careers page once a day and get on with your preparation.
Compare this with a genuine final result to see the difference: in the Bihar Police CSBC Constable GD Final Result 2026, the list itself meant selection. Here, it only means you’ve reached the interview. Same word — “result” — very different meaning. The RPSC 2nd Grade Teacher Result 2026 is another one worth reading alongside this post if you’re tracking how different recruitments handle their stages. And if your own result went the other way, remember that re-evaluation is sometimes an option in board exams — see how the JKBOSE Class 12 Re-evaluation Result 2026 worked for students who asked for a re-check.
Documents to Keep Ready for the Interview
SBI hasn’t put out an official checklist for this stage yet, so treat this as a sensible head-start. The call letter will carry the real requirements.
- Interview call letter (once released) — print it and keep a digital copy too
- Valid photo identity proof
- Law degree certificate and mark sheets
- Bar Council enrolment certificate
- Experience certificates — as a practising advocate or Law Officer — matching the post (2 years for Assistant Manager, 4 years for Deputy Manager)
- Category or PwBD certificate, if you’re claiming reservation or relaxation
- Recent passport-size photographs

One last warning: result season is also scam season. Nobody from SBI will call asking for money to “confirm” your interview seat. If someone tries, it’s a fraud.
FAQs: SBI SO Law Officer Result 2026
Q1. Is the SBI SO Law Officer Result 2026 the final selection list?
No. It’s the list of candidates provisionally shortlisted for the interview after the online written test. Final selection happens only after the interview, with 70% weightage to the written test and 30% to the interview.
Q2. How many candidates have been shortlisted for the interview?
As per the result lists, 80 candidates for Deputy Manager (Law) and 1,100 candidates for Assistant Manager (Law) — 1,180 in total. If you want to be extra careful, count the roll numbers in your post’s official PDF; the PDF is the final authority, not any news report.
Q3. When will the SBI SO Law Officer interview be held?
SBI has not announced the interview dates yet. The schedule, venue and call letter details will come through the Careers section of sbi.bank.in. Keep checking the official site rather than relying on forwarded messages.
Q4. Has SBI released the cut-off marks or scorecards?
Not yet. The result PDFs carry roll numbers only — no marks, ranks or cut-offs. If SBI releases scorecards or cut-offs later, they will appear on the official website first.
Q5. What documents should I keep ready for the interview?
Your call letter (once out), a photo ID, law degree and mark sheets, Bar Council enrolment certificate, experience certificates matching your post, category or PwBD certificate if applicable, and passport-size photos. SBI hasn’t issued the official checklist for this stage yet, so follow the call letter when it arrives.
Q6. My roll number isn’t in the PDF. Does that mean I’m out?
Yes, for this recruitment. The shortlist is the only route to the interview, and there is no second list expected. Double-check you opened the PDF for the correct post and typed your roll number right — then, if it’s genuinely absent, it’s time to move on to the next opportunity rather than wait on a rumour.
