Both exams are for very good government positions and require dedicated preparation. However, both exams have different patterns and selection processes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. FCI vs SBI: Conducting Body and Job Profile<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SBI Clerk<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The State Bank of India conducts the SBI Clerk exam once a year. SBI recruits qualified candidates for the position of Clerical Officer in various branches of their bank across the country. This post is mostly a client-facing post, which means the clerical officers will be dealing mostly with the clients and related operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Candidates recruited for SBI Clerk serve a probationary period of six months during which they have to complete several prescribed courses. On completion of the probationary period, the officers will be assisting in several ways in the branch of SBI where they are posted. These roles include assisting clients, assisting the Branch Manager, and office-related tasks such as faxing, copying, printing, etc.<\/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\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/sbi-clerk-mock-test\/?ref=contak-sbi-cl&amp;utm_medium=Organic&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=contak-sbi-cl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Attempt a free SBI Clerk Mock test now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FCI AG 3<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Food Cooperation of India conducts the FCI AG III recruitment <strong>every four years<\/strong>. The FCI is a premier institution of the government that oversees the agricultural output of the country. This includes the overseeing and management of agricultural produce, storage facilities, and distribution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FCI conducts the AG 3 or Assistant Grade III exam for the recruitment of AG III officers. These officers are posted to the various regional and zonal offices across the country. These officers work to coordinate with the different regional offices under one zone to ensure smooth working and production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.
