Faculty, SBIL Kolkata
Postgraduate in any discipline with minimum 55% marks. Candidates need at least 6 years of teaching experience as Faculty, Professor, Assistant Professor, Associate Professor or Corporate Trainer at a similar institution. A completed Ph.D. or M.Phil. counts as an additional qualification.

Marketing Executive, SBIL Kolkata
MBA or equivalent in marketing with minimum 55% marks. Candidates need at least 5 years of marketing experience, including at least 3 years in marketing for executive education, management institutes, universities, training organisations or EdTech companies. Preference goes to candidates with experience in branding, international partnerships, or revenue generation, and certification in digital marketing, CRM or marketing analytics.
Selection process
For Dean and Faculty, selection is through shortlisting and an interview cum demo training session. For Marketing Executive, it is through shortlisting and an interview.
- Shortlisting — the Bank sets the shortlisting parameters. Meeting the minimum qualification and experience does not guarantee an interview call.
- Interview (cum demo session for Dean and Faculty) — carries 100 marks. The Bank decides the qualifying marks.
- CTC negotiation — held with candidates in merit order, one by one. A candidate who does not accept the negotiated CTC is treated as a voluntary exit, and the Bank moves to the next candidate.
- Merit list — prepared from interview marks alone. Candidates tied at the cut-off mark are ranked by age, older candidates first.
- Final selection — the top candidates in the merit list, once CTC negotiation succeeds, are selected.
Outstation candidates called for interview are reimbursed economy-class air fare for the shortest route: actual fare for Dean, and up to ₹15,000 total (or the actual fare, whichever is lower) for Faculty and Marketing Executive.
The initial contract runs for 3 years and can be renewed for up to 2 more years, so total engagement cannot exceed 5 years. Either side can end the contract with 3 months’ notice, or payment of 3 months’ compensation in place of notice. Engaged officers get 30 days’ leave in a financial year.

Should you apply?
These posts suit senior professionals: candidates already working as institute heads, senior faculty or marketing leaders in banking, finance or executive education, who meet the steep experience bars (15 years for Dean, 6 for Faculty, 5 for Marketing Executive). They do not suit freshers or candidates early in their careers.
Competition is realistically limited to a small pool, since only 3 posts are open nationwide and the eligibility criteria rule out most applicants. The CTC is high for a contractual role, but candidates should weigh the honest trade-off: this is a 3-year contract, extendable to 5 years at most, not a permanent SBI position. Anyone looking for job security over pay should factor that in before applying.
This is added context, not part of the official notification. Confirm with the hiring office.
What is the last date to apply for SBI Specialist Cadre Officer 2026?
The last date to register online and pay the application fee is 6 October 2026. Candidates should apply well before this date, since the portal usually slows down on the last day.
What is the application fee for SBI Specialist Cadre Officer recruitment?
The application fee is ₹750 for General, EWS and OBC candidates. There is no fee for SC, ST and PwBD candidates. The fee is non-refundable and cannot be adjusted against any other SBI selection.
Is the SBI Specialist Cadre Officer post permanent?
No. These are contractual posts. The initial contract runs for 3 years and can be renewed for up to 2 more years, so the total engagement cannot exceed 5 years.
What does CTC negotiation mean in SBI’s selection process?
CTC negotiation is where the Bank and a shortlisted candidate agree on the final pay within the notified range, based on experience and current salary. This is added context, not part of the official notification. Confirm with the hiring office.
