Hello,
I think you cannot give the SBI clerk examination for 2024 because as you are born in 2003 you might still be in college and according to SBI clerk eligibility list Candidates should possess a bachelors degree in any stream from a recognized university or institution. Alternatively, they must have an equivalent qualification from a centrally recognized institution. Since you are not graduated you are not eligible for the exam.
Hope this helps you,
Thank you
