PNB LBO Result 2026: 594 Candidates Qualify for 545 Posts

The PNB LBO Result 2026 is out. Punjab National Bank published the list of candidates qualified in the online written examination on 11 November 2026, and it names 594 candidates for 545 Local Bank Officer posts. The written exam was held on 6 September 2026, so the wait lasted just over two months. If you sat for it, the list is a single PDF on the bank website, grouped by state, and it needs no login to open.

The list is provisional. Finding your roll number on it means you move to the next stages, not that you have the job. The bank has announced no dates for those stages yet.

Where the 594 names sit

The PDF groups roll numbers by state, and counted state by state it runs to 594 names. Maharashtra accounts for the biggest share by a long way, with 216 names. That is more than a third of the whole list, and more than Telangana and Gujarat put together. Telangana follows with 100, Gujarat with 73 and West Bengal with 63.

Karnataka has 51 names and Tamil Nadu 30. Assam has 25 and Tripura 11. Jammu and Kashmir has 10. The rest of the list is thin: Manipur and Nagaland have 4 each, Andhra Pradesh and Sikkim 2 each, and Arunachal Pradesh, Ladakh and Meghalaya 1 each.

The spread is worth a second look because it does not track the vacancy map in any simple way. The bank advertised 545 posts across the states, and 594 candidates qualified overall, which means 49 more names than posts. That gap is normal for a provisional list. Some candidates will drop out at the language test or the interview, and some will fail document checks, so the bank keeps a small cushion at this stage. Nobody should read the extra 49 names as 49 extra jobs.

One more limit belongs here. The list gives roll numbers and nothing else. It prints no marks and no cutoff score, and it carries no category break up. So there is no way to tell from it how close anyone was to the line, and anyone sharing a cutoff for this result is guessing. The only fact the PDF settles is whether a roll number is on it.

How to check your roll number

Open pnb.bank.in and go to the Recruitments page. The entry reads Recruitment of Local Bank Officers under HRP 2026-27, dated 20 July 2026. Under it, look for the link titled Candidates Qualified in Online Written Examination, published on 11 November 2026 at 10 AM. The file is a 0.33 MB PDF and stays live on the page till 30 November 2026.

Press Ctrl and F on a computer, or use find in the PDF on a phone, and type your roll number. The list groups roll numbers by state, so you can also scroll to the state you applied from and scan it. Download the PDF and keep a copy, since the link has an end date and the bank will replace this page with the next notice when the language test schedule comes out.

Use only the bank website for this result. Lists passed around in chat groups can be old, edited, or simply another bank result with a new date typed on top. The check takes two minutes on the official site, and the official site is the only copy that counts.

What happens after this list

Qualified candidates move to the Local Language Proficiency Test, wherever it applies, and then to a personal interview. The bank has announced no dates for either step. Shortlisted candidates should keep checking the Recruitments page of pnb.bank.in, because that is where the bank publishes every notice in this recruitment, from the admit card to this result.

The bank is clear on one point that matters more than the schedule. Its Recruitments page carries a standing notice that the bank never asks candidates to pay any fee or money for appearing in an interview or for selection or appointment. Ignore anyone who asks for payment, however official the message looks. Real notices come from pnb.bank.in, and the bank does not collect money through agents or chat messages.

Keep the email ID and phone number you registered with active, and keep your documents ready in the meantime: age proof, educational certificates, and whatever proves the local language and the eligibility conditions the 20 July advertisement asked for. When the bank does publish the next dates, the gap between the notice and the test could be short.

If you are tracking other bank results, the Punjab and Sind Bank LBO Phase 3 Result 2026 named 595 candidates in its revised shortlist, and it went through its own withdrawal and republication, so it is a useful reminder to check the revised list rather than a forwarded copy. For a live bank opening rather than a result, the Indian Bank Apprentice Recruitment 2026 has 1,500 seats with applications open till 25 November.
