SBI Specialist Cadre Officers 2026: 38 posts closed what submitted candidates should track

SBI’s official Current Openings page and the three matching recruitment portals were rechecked on 28 August 2026. Each portal now says “Registration period is over.” The 27 August 2026 online registration and fee-payment deadline for CRPD/SCO/2026-27/11, /12 and /13 has passed, so this is no longer a live new-application guide. The three notices covered 38 posts in all: 34 under /11, two under /12 and two under /13. Submitted candidates should retain their application and fee record and monitor SBI’s official page for shortlisting, interview advice or later instructions. The closure does not itself announce a shortlist or selection result. AvsarIQ organizes the official record and does not make a personal eligibility decision.

The change is a status transition, not a new vacancy announcement. On the previous check, the three SBI notices were useful as a final-day application comparison. On this 28 August check, the official Current Openings page still shows the notified 7 to 27 August schedule, while each matching portal independently reports that registration has ended. The database records for /11, /12 and /13 are therefore marked closed, with the official evidence checked again on 28 August. No later extension or corrigendum was located on the current SBI page. That evidence is enough to retire the live-application framing, but it is not evidence of a shortlist, interview call or appointment.

These are three separate notices with separate role families, not one common examination route. Notice /11 carries the largest group and combines contract and regular technology and cyber roles. Notice /12 is a small regular HR intake. Notice /13 is a senior enterprise-architecture contract intake. The common deadline made comparison useful before closure, but the eligibility evidence remains notice-specific. A submitted candidate should identify the exact notice and post named in the saved application rather than rely on the combined total of 38.

The official notice /11 PDF describes 34 posts across contract Deputy Vice President roles connected with the Cyber Innovation & Simulation Lab, Citizen Centric Initiatives and Cyber Security, along with regular Deputy Manager roles for AI, IT Security and Cyber Security Analyst work. The contract track uses a higher experience bar and a 35 to 45 age band in the notice. The regular roles use different age, education and experience requirements, so a technology background alone does not establish a match. The AI specialist description, for example, asks for relevant experience including AI, machine learning, generative AI or retrieval-augmented-generation work in the specified combination. The exact post description remains the controlling source for any submitted application.

The official notice /12 PDF is a two-post regular recruitment for Manager roles in Manpower Planning & Recruitment and Learning & Development. The notice uses an age band of 28 to 40 years as on 31 July 2026, requires an MBA, PGDM or PGDBM with HR specialization, and asks for six years of post-qualification experience. HR analytics or SHRM exposure is described as preferred in the relevant context, not as a substitute for the mandatory qualification. The suggested place of posting and the bank’s transfer or posting discretion should be read from the notice rather than treated as a fixed promise.

The official notice /13 PDF covers two senior contract posts: Deputy Chief Technology Officer in Enterprise Architecture and Vice President, Enterprise & Technology Architect. The notice requires a long senior-career record, including TOGAF for these roles, and describes age bands of 42 to 50 for the DCTO role and 40 to 48 for the VP role. It specifies minimum experience in the relevant area and architecture leadership, with BFSI experience preferred for the VP profile. The notice describes annual CTC up to ₹170 lakh for the DCTO role and up to ₹96 lakh for the VP role, a three-year contract extendable by two years, and a shortlisting, interview and CTC-negotiation process. These figures are notice terms, not a guarantee of an offer.

The safest post-deadline action is record preservation. The notices distinguish the act of submitting an online form from the bank’s later scrutiny of qualifications, experience, documents and other conditions. Keep the exact notice number, post name, application PDF or print view, registration or application number, payment receipt and the documents used for the form. If an application was submitted for more than one notice, keep the records separately. The three portals are separate routes even though the deadline was shared.

The notices describe a post-application process that may include shortlisting, interview and scrutiny of original documents. Notice /11 contains different tracks and post-specific requirements. Notice /12 describes regular HR Manager roles and its own shortlisting and interview conditions. Notice /13 describes shortlisting, interview and CTC negotiation for the two senior contract roles. None of those later stages is confirmed merely because an online form was accepted. The current official portal check found a closed registration state, not a result. Candidates should wait for an official communication and use the exact notice as the reference for any next-stage document set.

The SBI Current Openings page was checked on 28 August 2026. The specific official notices are CRPD/SCO/2026-27/11, CRPD/SCO/2026-27/12 and CRPD/SCO/2026-27/13. The matching notice /11 portal, notice /12 portal and notice /13 portal were also rechecked and each displayed “Registration period is over.” These links are provided so readers can distinguish the bank’s current page, the controlling notice and the route that now reports closure.
