Union Bank of India Apprentice

Union Bank of India Apprentice recruitment in 2026 advertised 1,865 provisional training seats. Applications closed on 19 May 2026, the online test took place on 7 June 2026, and the bank has issued its provisional selection list. This intake offered one year of paid, on-the-job training under the Apprentices Act, 1961. Completing the training does not entitle you to a regular job with the bank.

If you took the exam, check the result and your registered email for reporting instructions. If you are preparing for a future intake, use the 2026 rules to understand the process and start studying. Check the next notice before relying on the same graduation dates, age limits, fees or test format.

2026 notification, exam date and result

The official 2026 apprentice notification gives the rules for the 1,865-seat intake. The bank initially gave a tentative test window of May or June; it later confirmed 7 June.

Look for your roll number in the provisional selection list. The bank sends the reporting date and venue to the registered email address of selected candidates. Read the document checklist in the result notice before reporting.

For a new intake, start at the Union Bank of India recruitment page. The page also carries notices for older apprentice intakes, so match the seat count and year before opening an application or result link.

Apprentice seats and training locations

The bank allocated training seats by state and category. The nationwide figures below are provisional; the state table and district annexure in the notice are the relevant references for where seats were offered.

The notice identified 98 horizontal seats for persons with disabilities within the total. Applicants could give up to five district preferences, with their home district first. The bank could allot another district within the selected state according to availability and its needs.

Eligibility and age limit

For the 2026 intake, the standard age range was 20 to 28 years as of 1 April 2026. A recognised graduate degree in any discipline was acceptable. The result had to be declared by 1 April 2026, and the graduation marksheet could not be dated before 1 April 2022.

The notice excluded candidates who had previously undertaken or were pursuing an apprenticeship, as well as those with at least one year of work experience after obtaining the qualifying degree. Candidates also needed to be able to read, write, speak and understand one of the specified languages for the selected state.

Use the Union Bank of India Apprentice eligibility guide to check age relaxations and the certificates that support them. Check your marksheet and category documents against the applicable dates before paying an application fee.

Application process and fees

In 2026, candidates registered on the NATS and NAPS apprenticeship portals and completed the bank application through the BFSI Sector Skill Council portal. Keep the enrolment and apprentice codes, degree documents, identity proof and any applicable category certificate together. Use the same personal details across the portals and save the payment receipt.

These were non-refundable charges for the closed intake. For a future application, follow the new notice for the portal, document specifications and payment deadline.

Exam pattern and marking

The 2026 objective test had 100 questions for 100 marks in 60 minutes, with no negative marking. Each of the five tests carried the same weight.

Check the Union Bank of India Apprentice exam pattern before choosing a practice paper. Older four-section papers from the 2,691-seat intake can help with individual topics, but they leave out the bank products and services test in the 2026 scheme.

Syllabus and what to study

Start with the Union Bank of India Apprentice syllabus and topic checklist to plan revision across all five tests. The bank named the tests and provided specific scope for its products and services section. Treat chapter lists for the other tests as study guidance.

For the bank-specific test, compare savings, current and salary accounts, term deposits, and the Union Ease app. Note who can use each product and what features distinguish it. Use the bank’s product pages listed in the notification to verify details before adding them to your notes.

Selection process and cut-off

1. Online test: The bank used the written test to provisionally select candidates.

2. Document verification: Candidates must prove that their age, qualifications and any category claims meet the notice.

3. Local language: Candidates who cannot show that they studied the chosen language in Class 10 or 12 must take the proficiency test.

4. Medical fitness: Candidates must submit the required fitness certificate before engagement.

The bank sets the qualifying marks. The notice and provisional result reviewed for this overview do not provide a numeric cut-off table. The Union Bank of India Apprentice cut-off guide explains what to check before using a reported score as a benchmark, including its intake and category.

Monthly stipend and training terms

The apprenticeship runs for one year from the contract start date. The monthly stipend depends on how the bank classifies the branch or office where you train.

The notice did not provide additional allowances. Compare the stipend with your likely commute and accommodation costs before accepting an offer. Apprentices take an assessment after training and receive a certificate if they pass.

How to prepare for the next intake

Start with a timed baseline

Use the Union Bank of India Apprentice mock test guide to judge whether a practice paper covers all five tests. After a timed attempt, record where you lost time, where you guessed and which errors you can fix before the next attempt.

Build notes you can recall

Use the Union Bank of India Apprentice study notes guide to organise brief revision sheets for weak topics. For bank products, close your notes and recall the intended customer, main features and eligibility conditions before checking the source again.
