SBI Specialist Cadre Officer Recruitment 2026: IT Risk Posts, CRPD/SCO/2026-27/22

SBI IT Risk recruitment 2026: posts and vacancies

There are 4 vacancies across the two posts, with a small backlog reservation for Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (Locomotor Disability) at each grade:

Post	Total vacancies	Age (as on 31.08.2026)	Annual CTC	Contract period
Deputy Vice President (IT Risk)	2 (UR) + 1 backlog PwBD	36 to 45 years	Up to Rs. 60 lakh	3 years
Assistant Vice President (IT Risk)	2 (UR) + 1 backlog PwBD	32 to 42 years	Up to Rs. 50 lakh	3 years

The suggested place of posting for both roles is Mumbai or Navi Mumbai, though the Bank reserves the right to post or transfer the officer to any SBI office or associate/subsidiary anywhere in India.

Eligibility for SBI Deputy VP and Assistant VP (IT Risk)

For Deputy Vice President (IT Risk): age 36 to 45 years as on 31 August 2026, with a BE/BTech in Computer Science, Electronics & Communications, Information Technology or Cybersecurity (minimum 50% marks), or an MCA/MSc (Computer Science/IT), or an MTech in Computer Science/Cyber Security/Information Security — all with minimum 50% marks. A minimum of 12 years of post-qualification experience in the IT domain is needed, with at least 6 years preferably in IT risk management or information security. Certifications such as CISSP, CRISC, CISM or CISA are preferred but not mandatory.

For Assistant Vice President (IT Risk): age 32 to 42 years as on 31 August 2026, with the same educational qualification options as above. Minimum 9 years of post-qualification experience in IT is needed, with at least 5 years preferably in IT risk management or information security.

Training and teaching experience is explicitly not counted toward the experience requirement for either post. Use the age calculator to confirm your age falls within the required band as on 31 August 2026 before applying — SBI applies this cut-off strictly and a candidate found ineligible at interview stage is neither allowed to appear nor reimbursed any travel cost.

Job role and KRAs

Both roles sit within SBI's IT-Risk team and involve leading and mentoring risk professionals, developing and overseeing the bank's IT risk management strategy, conducting risk analysis and security reviews of technology processes, preparing risk assessment reports for senior management, and staying current with frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, COBIT and ITIL. The Deputy Vice President additionally leads the development of a Risk Appetite Framework for technology domains and reports on IT-risk guidelines from top management, audits and regulators.

Selection process and CTC negotiation

Selection is through shortlisting followed by an interview carrying 100 marks, and then CTC negotiation with candidates in order of merit. If a selected candidate does not agree to the negotiated CTC, that candidate is treated as a voluntary exit and the next candidate in the merit list is called. Merely meeting the minimum qualification and experience does not guarantee an interview call — SBI's shortlisting committee decides how many candidates to call, and its decision is final.

Annual CTC is split 80:20 between fixed and variable pay, and the variable portion depends on the officer clearing at least 90% in a half-yearly performance appraisal (on 31 March and 30 September). The contract runs 3 years, extendable up to 2 more years on yearly review, and can be ended by either side with 3 months' notice or equivalent compensation.

Application fee

The application fee and intimation charge is Rs. 750 for UR/EWS/OBC candidates. SC, ST and PwBD candidates pay no fee. A candidate cannot apply for both posts — if more than one application is submitted, only the last completed one is retained and any fee paid for the other stands forfeited.
