SBI Clerk 2026 Admit Card: Exam Day Photo and ID Checklist
The SBI Junior Associate (Clerk) Prelims call letter is available on sbi.bank.in for the exam scheduled on 26 and 27 September 2026. Your photo and signature are already fixed from the application: the call letter just needs your recent photo pasted on it, 2 extra copies, and your original photo ID plus a self-attested photocopy, or you will not be allowed to appear.

The SBI Junior Associate (Clerk) 2026 Prelims call letter is live for download, for the online exam held on 26 and 27 September 2026. Your photo and signature were locked in when you applied, so today is not about fixing files: it is about carrying the right printouts and originals to the centre, exactly as SBI's own "Acquaint Yourself Booklet" spells out.

If your uploaded photo or signature ever gets rejected or you need to prepare fresh files for the SBI Clerk Mains or a future SBI form, the SBI photo, signature and thumb resizer sets each image to the exact KB and pixel size SBI asks for.

For another SBI form: photo 200 x 230 px at 20 to 50 KB, signature 140 x 60 px at 10 to 20 KB.

Why the photo and signature matter today, not KB and pixels
SBI's booklet is direct about this: your call letter photo must be your recent passport photo, the same one you uploaded in the application. At the venue, registration happens through a fresh photo capture, which is matched against the photo you uploaded when you applied. Go looking as close as you can to that photo.
Your handwritten signature at the venue also has to tally with the signature you uploaded. Signing in capital letters is explicitly rejected by the booklet, and a signature that does not tally with the uploaded one means you will not be allowed to appear. Sign in your normal running handwriting, the same way you did for the upload.
Bring glue and a stamp pad
SBI's booklet asks every candidate to bring two small items. First, glue, for pasting photos: your photo must be firmly affixed on the call letter. Second, a blue ink stamp pad, for putting your left thumb impression on the attendance sheets.
No calculator, smartwatch, cell phone, book or written notes are allowed inside the hall. Carry only a ball point pen and the documents above.
If you're also finishing the IBPS RRB form today
Today is also the extended last date for the IBPS RRB (CRP RRBs-XV) application, after a corrigendum pushed the deadline from 21 to 27 September 2026. If you still have that form open, resize your images with the IBPS photo, signature and thumb resizer and check every upload against our full IBPS RRB 2026 form and checklist guide before the window closes.
Your SBI photo and signature cannot be edited at this stage. If either was rejected earlier in the process, that is a matter for SBI's helpline, not something a resize fixes on exam day.
Checklist before you leave for the centre
- Call letter printed, photo pasted, and 2 extra photos in hand.

Frequently asked questions
Can I download the SBI Clerk 2026 admit card now?
Yes. SBI's careers page shows the Junior Associate (Customer Support and Sales) Preliminary Examination call letter as available for download, for the exam tentatively scheduled on 26 and 27 September 2026. Use the call letter link on sbi.bank.in/web/careers/current-openings with the login details from your registration.
Can I change my photo or signature before the SBI Clerk exam?
No. Both were fixed when you submitted the online application. At the venue, a fresh photo is captured and matched against your uploaded photo, and your handwritten signature is checked against the uploaded one, so bring a recent photo that still looks like you.
What happens if my signature is in capital letters?
SBI's booklet states that a signature in capital letters will not be accepted, and a mismatch between your signature and the uploaded one can mean you are not allowed to appear for the exam.
What documents must I carry to the SBI Clerk Prelims?
Your printed call letter with a recent passport photo pasted on it, 2 additional photographs, and your original photo ID proof with one self-attested photocopy. Without the ID proof, the photo on the call letter, or the extra photographs, you will not be permitted to appear.
Is the IBPS RRB 2026 application also closing today?
Yes, IBPS extended the CRP RRBs-XV registration deadline to 27 September 2026 by corrigendum. If you have not submitted yet, finish it today; a 2-day paid edit window follows on dates IBPS will notify separately.
Does SBI keep the Prelims call letter after the exam?
No. SBI does not collect the Prelims call letter at the venue; exam officials authenticate or stamp it. Keep it safely along with the stamped copy of your ID proof, because candidates called for the Main exam must bring both with the Main exam call letter.
