Hello Saurav,
It is unlikely to create a problem during the document verification (DV) process, as long as the university name on your certificates matches the details provided in your application form. However, since your college (ABC) is affiliated with XYZ University, it's important that the certificates or documents you present clearly show the relationship between the two.
To be on the safe side, you can:
-
Check your documents: Ensure that the university name (XYZ) is correctly mentioned, and that it doesn't cause confusion with your college (ABC).
-
Include the affiliation information : If possible, mention in your application or provide a separate document stating that your college is affiliated with XYZ University.
-
Clarify during DV (Document Verification): If any questions arise, you can clarify this during the document verification by showing the affiliation of your college with the university.
If the documents are genuine and correctly reflect your academic background, this minor discrepancy should not pose a major issue.
I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

A Master's degree is not mandatory to become an SBI PO or get promoted to a bank manager role. However, it can enhance your profile and potentially give you an edge in the competitive selection process.
An MBA can be a good choice as it equips you with valuable skills in finance, management, marketing, and communication - all of which are crucial for a banking career
Consider specializing in Finance, Banking, or Risk Management within your MBA program. These specializations will directly align with the SBI PO role and career progression in banking.
A Master's in Commerce with a specialization in Banking and Finance can provide a strong foundation in banking principles and practices. While not as directly focused on banking, a Master's in Economics can equip you with analytical skills and an understanding of economic trends, which are valuable assets in the financial sector.
Several banking-related certifications like Certified Financial Analyst (CFA) or Certified Risk Management (PRM) can enhance your profile without the time commitment of a Master's program. Focused coaching programs or online resources can equip you with the specific knowledge and skills required to crack the SBI PO exam.
Ultimately, the decision of pursuing a Master's degree depends on your individual circumstances, goals, and resources. While an MBA or other relevant Master's can be beneficial, it's not essential for success in the SBI PO exam or career advancement in banking.
