When the influx of candidates gathers towards the exam centers, then there is a sight to behold. One of the most discussed questions about these bank PO exams is, \u201cIs SBI PO Exam Tougher Than IBPS PO?&#8221; How difficult is the SBI PO exam as compared to the IBPS PO exam? The answer to this question is difficult, and it may differ from candidate to candidate. But, because everyone has his\/her preferences and choices we can get slightly different answers. But with the help of some parameters, we can get the most logical and generic answer to it. Let\u2019s find the answer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/ibps-po-test-series\/?ref=11805\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Take the Latest IBPS PO 2024 Mock Test &amp; Get Ready to Achieve Your Aim!<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SBI PO vs IBPS PO, Difficulty Level of SBI PO and IBPS PO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is hard to define the difficulty level of the question accurately as every candidate\/student has his\/her ability to perform in the exam. Hence, comparing the difficulty level of both exams is a tough task. But we can say that the SBI PO is quite tougher than the IBPS PO exam, based on expert analysis and exam reviews given by the students who have already appeared in previous SBI PO\/IBPS PO exams. In addition, the number of seats released by the SBI PO is also less than the seats released by the IBPS PO every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to choose one exam from IBPS PO and SBI PO?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SBI PO\u2019s post, as we know, is the most sought-after and lucrative Banking job in India. The number of vacancies in SBI is less than that of IBPS, but despite this fact, the applicants come in huge numbers to apply for it every year. Although the job profiles of an IBPS PO and SBI PO are the same, with stark differences in career prospects, pay, and work environment. The competition is tough for both exams and hence, you would need a lot of hard work and smart work to clear any of these exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recruitment Process-IPBS PO vs. SBI PO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The recruitment process for both exams consists of three stages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\">\n<li>Prelims<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mains<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interview or GD round<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is SBI PO exam tougher than IBPS PO?<\/strong> &#8211;<strong>IBPS PO vs. SBI PO<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is the table that compares both exams:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Basis of Difference<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>IBPS PO<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>SBI PO<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Stages<\/strong><\/td><td>-1<sup>st<\/sup>&nbsp;Stage: Preliminary Exam)<br>-2<sup>nd<\/sup>&nbsp;Stage: Main Exam)<br>-3<sup>rd<\/sup>&nbsp;Stage: Interview (The composite scores of Mains and Interview Process in a ratio of 80:20 is used to create a merit list for the final selection.

All such differences mentioned above make the SBI PO exam tougher than the IBPS PO exam.
