Karthik, U must have completed degree as on May 1, 2011.Since u would get marks only by July, u are not eligible for this SBI recruitments
Sir im Karthik.. n i have a doubt regarding the eligibility fr SB PO's..
I scored 80% in 10th and 94% in Intermediate n 59% in Graduation.
I was to complete my B.Tech in the year 2010 but due to my backlogs I completed it in 2011.
And ive cleared the exams but will get the main marks memo by june end..
So am i eligible to apply for SB PO's now or later?
And due to my backlogs and 1 year delay am I eligible to apply for any of the Bank PO's exams??
As far as Ashfaque's comment is concerned ticking answers in the question paper never lead to disqualification ..i can assure you on that matter ..I have consulted with HR people of reputed bank ...and For Mudit disqualification in written test will be counted as an attempt..good luck
sir i needed your guidance regarding a doubt related to number of chances available for the SBI PO recruitment. sir, if i apllied for the exam but ha failed to appear in the wriiten test , would that also be counted in the number of attempts?

Sir, I have a little doubt.. I have some Banking Exams. I used to first tick mark the correct answers on the question booklet and then oval it on the OMR sheet at the end of the exams.. But someone told me that ticking correct answers on the Booklet will cancel the answer or will reveal zero even if the answer is correct, He even told me it maked you diqualify. But according to me it is clearly mentioned that we can mark any thing in the question booklet.. Please tell me , does this will make disqualifiaction ???
