SBI CBO 2025: The SBI CBO 2025 online examination will take place on July 20, 2025, at various exam centres. The selection process consists of four stages: an online written test, screening, an interview, and a local language proficiency test. The General Awareness/Economy section of the objective test includes 30 questions, totaling 30 marks. Candidates often prioritise this section because it involves fact-based questions rather than complex calculations, making it easier to score well with proper preparation. Additionally, the absence of negative marking in the SBI CBO exam allows candidates to attempt all questions without the risk of penalties. In this article, we are providing PDFs of current affairs from the last six months, along with 500+ important questions for the General Awareness and Economy sections.
