An eligible candidate can apply for both recruitment drives because SBI has issued them as separate advertisements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 7 August 2026 notification is for the Special Recruitment Drive for Junior Associates and covers 1,538 SC\/ST\/OBC backlog vacancies. The application window is from 7 August to 27 August 2026. The 11 August 2026 notification is for the regular Junior Associate recruitment. Its application window is from 11 August to 31 August 2026. Therefore, an SC\/ST\/OBC candidate who satisfies the eligibility criteria of the Special Recruitment Drive can submit the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>One application under the 7 August Special Recruitment Drive<\/strong>, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>One separate application under the 11 August regular recruitment.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\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 wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/sbi-clerk-apply-online\/?ref=conttm-sbi-clerk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apply for SBI Clerk 2026<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-can-candidates-apply-for-both\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_can_candidates_apply_for_Both\"><\/span>Why can candidates apply for Both?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The key point is that SBI has issued two different advertisements. The special recruitment drive carries Advertisement No. <strong>CRPD\/CR\/SPLDRIVE\/2026-27\/16<\/strong>, while the regular recruitment carries Advertisement No. <strong>CRPD\/CR\/2026-27\/17<\/strong>. They also have different application windows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Backlog Special Drive:<\/strong> 7 to 27 August 2026<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regular Recruitment:<\/strong> 11 to 31 August 2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-choose-different-states-in-the-two-sbi-clerk-applications\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_choose_different_states_in_the_two_SBI_clerk_applications\"><\/span>Can I choose different states in the two SBI clerk applications?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This point requires careful attention. For each recruitment project, SBI allows candidates to apply for vacancies in only one state\/UT. The regular notification explicitly states that candidates can apply for vacancies in one state\/UT only. The Special Recruitment Drive notification also states that candidates can apply for vacancies in only one state\/UT. Therefore, candidates applying under both recruitment drives should carefully check the State\/UT restriction separately for each application and should not assume that they can submit multiple applications within either recruitment.<\/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 wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/blog\/sbi-clerk-state-wise-vacancies\/?ref=conttm-sbi-clerk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">check sBI Clerk state wise vacancies <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-things-to-remember-while-applying-for-both-sbi-clerk-recruitments\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_to_remember_while_applying_for_both_SBI_Clerk_Recruitments\"><\/span>Things to remember while applying for both SBI Clerk Recruitments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Candidates planning to apply for both should keep the following points in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Check eligibility separately for the Special Recruitment Drive and regular recruitment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submit one application for the backlog special recruitment drive if eligible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submit one separate application for the regular recruitment if eligible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not submit multiple applications under the same recruitment project.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the state\/UT carefully in each application.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check the specified local language requirement for the selected state\/UT.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pay the applicable application fee separately for each recruitment, wherever applicable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep the registration details and payment confirmation of both applications safely.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Free Exam Preparation PDFs<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Download Link<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Last 6 Months Current Affairs in Hindi &amp; English<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/current-affairs\/?ref=conttm-english-blogs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Click Here<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Monthly Current Affairs<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/monthly-current-affairs-pdf\/?ref=conttm-english-blogs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Click Here<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weekly Current Affairs<\/td><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/weekly-current-affairs\/?ref=conttm-english-blogs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click Here<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Daily Current Affairs<\/td><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/daily-current-affairs\/?ref=conttm-english-blogs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click Here<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Speed Math Kit<\/td><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/speed-math-kit\/?ref=conttm-english-blogs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click Here<\/a><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q1.
