The State Bank of India offers a summer internship opportunity to students through the SBI Summer Internship Program 2026. This internship program will give students hands-on exposure to the banking and financial services sector.
While SBI does not have a single nationwide "Summer Internship Program" with a common application portal every year, internships are offered through select SBI offices, learning centres, business verticals and campus partnerships, with recruitment varying by region and institution.
