SBI Clerk previous year papers
SBI's own sample booklets first, then memory-based papers by year. Each link was opened and checked; PDF links open the file directly.
Good to know: SBI does not release the actual question papers. It publishes official information handouts with sample questions for each section. The "previous year papers" online are memory-based: coaching sites rebuild them from candidates' recall, so they may differ slightly from the real paper.

How to use them
- Start with SBI's own Acquaint Yourself booklet for your exam stage. It is the only official source for the pattern, timings, negative marking and the style of each section.
- Take each memory-based paper as a timed mock: 1 hour for Prelims with 20 minutes per section, 2 hours 40 minutes for Mains, and no looking at answers until the timer ends.
- Use papers from the last two or three cycles for a feel of the current difficulty. Use older papers for topic practice, because patterns and question styles change.
- After each paper, log every wrong or skipped question by topic (puzzles, data interpretation, error spotting and so on) and revise those topics before the next paper.
- Track accuracy as well as attempts. Prelims and Mains have negative marking, so a guess that loses marks is worse than a skip.
- Remember that memory-based papers are rebuilt from candidates' recall. Numbers, options or whole questions may differ from what was asked, so if an answer key looks wrong, check it yourself.
- Don't use old General/Financial Awareness questions for current affairs. Use them only to see the type of question asked, and study the latest 6 to 8 months of news separately.
Full mocks with solutions
Past papers show the pattern. Our mocks copy the timing and −0.25 marking, and explain every answer.
Start free →- SBI does not release the actual question papers of the Junior Associate (Clerk) exam. The official documents here are SBI's exam booklets (with sample questions only), advertisements and result notices.
- Every 'memory_based' paper was rebuilt by a coaching site from what candidates remembered after the exam. It is not an official SBI paper, and it may differ from the real paper in questions, numbers, options and answers.
- These links go to third-party websites that are not affiliated with this site or with SBI. Copyright in each paper belongs to its publisher (Adda247/Bankersadda, Career Power, Testbook, PW, PracticeMock, Guidely, Oliveboard). We only link to the copy they host and do not re-host any paper.
- Year labels differ between sites: many call the Prelims held in Feb-Mar 2025 'SBI Clerk 2024' because they belong to the 2024-25 recruitment. Here 'year' is the year the exam sitting was held, and the note names the cycle.
- Every link was checked on 23 October 2026. Publishers move or remove files without notice, so if a link stops working, look for the paper on that publisher's previous-year-papers page.
- Entries marked 'Free sign-in' need a free account on that site. No link here needs payment, but these sites also sell courses and test series. You don't need to buy anything to use the papers listed here.
