As per the notification the percentage marks shall be arrived at by dividing the total marks obtained by the candidate in all the subjects in all semester(s)/ year(s) by aggregate maximum marks in all the subjects irrespective of honours/ optional/ additional optional subject (if any). This will be applicable for those Universities also where Class/ Grade is decided on basis of Honours marks only and fraction of percentage so arrived will be ignored i.e., 59.99% will be treated as less than 60% and 54.99% will be treated as less than 55% to apply for the post of Probationary Officer in SBI.
