(Since the application correction window concludes in late May, the NTA will begin rolling out city intimation slips and admit cards by mid-June. Remember that the exam consists of two continuous papers with no negative marking, so practicing full-length 3-hour mocks is essential to build your pacing).

Use the remaining weeks to master your Quantitative Aptitude and General Intelligence sections, as the computer-based Tier-1 exams are scheduled for August–September 2026).

• SBI PO 2026 Notification: The highly anticipated State Bank of India Probationary Officer notification is tentatively scheduled to drop by mid-to-late June on sbi.co.in/careers, kicking off a massive month of banking registrations.
