UCO Bank’s 2025-26 Apprentice registration is closed. The application window ran from 21 October to 30 October 2025, so there is no active form to submit for this recruitment cycle. UCO Bank’s current job-opportunities page lists the apprenticeship notice and a provisionally selected candidates list; check that page for updates or any future recruitment notice.
Where to check UCO Bank apprentice updates
Use UCO Bank’s Careers page for the Bank’s current opportunities and official notices. For the historical 2025 application, UCO Bank directed candidates to its Careers section and the National Apprenticeship Training Scheme (NATS) portal. The Bank’s current listing links to the apprenticeship notice and a provisional selection list; it does not make the expired registration form an open application.
For examination-related communication, the notice named BFSI SSC. UCO Bank said eligible NATS applicants would receive email details about examination charges and the examination process. The exam was scheduled for 9 November 2025 at 11 a.m.; that date has passed.
What the 2025-26 notice offered
UCO Bank’s advertisement, dated 21 October 2025 and numbered HO/HRM/RECR/2025-26/COM-03, invited applications for engagement as apprentices under the Apprentices Act, 1961. It announced 532 provisional seats. The notice said vacancies could vary according to the Bank’s actual requirement.
| Category | Provisional seats |
|---|---|
| Unreserved | 229 |
| OBC | 132 |
| SC | 98 |
| ST | 45 |
| EWS | 28 |
The notice specified that candidates could apply for engagement in one state or union territory only. Applicants therefore needed to consider state-level seat availability and the local-language requirement, not just the overall total.
Eligibility specified for the closed application
Eligibility was assessed as of 1 October 2025. The general age range was 20 to 28 years for unreserved and EWS candidates, with relaxations listed in the official notice for SC/ST, OBC non-creamy layer, persons with benchmark disabilities, and certain widowed, divorced or legally separated women who had not remarried.
Candidates needed a graduate degree from a recognized university or institution approved by the Government of India or its regulators. Graduation had to be completed, and the marksheets plus provisional or final degree certificate issued, on or after 1 April 2021. The official advertisement sets out detailed nationality and category-document requirements; candidates with a specific eligibility or documentation question should rely on that notice rather than assume a general rule covers their case.
Training period and stipend
The apprenticeship was for one year from the date of contract. The stated monthly stipend was ₹15,000: ₹10,500 payable by UCO Bank and ₹4,500 as the government share, credited through DBT under applicable guidelines. The notice said no other allowances or benefits would be provided.
Selection test and language requirement
The selection process included an online objective examination. UCO Bank specified 100 questions for 100 marks, to be completed in 60 minutes, with four equally weighted sections:
| Section | Questions |
|---|---|
| General and financial awareness | 25 |
| General English | 25 |
| Reasoning ability and computer aptitude | 25 |
| Quantitative aptitude | 25 |
The Bank said it would set the minimum aggregate qualifying mark, with a five-percentage-point relaxation for SC/ST/OBC/PwBD candidates. State- and category-wise merit lists were to be prepared. The notice listed application examination charges of ₹800 plus GST for GEN/OBC/EWS candidates, ₹400 plus GST for PwBD candidates, and no charge for SC/ST candidates. Charges were non-refundable and payable online only.
Rank #4
Candidates also needed to read, write, speak and understand one local language of the state selected. The language check was to take place at document verification. A candidate who produced 10th- or 12th-standard evidence of having studied the relevant local language would not need to sit that test.

The notice described apprentices as trainees, not regular employees, and stated that the Bank had no obligation to offer regular employment during or after the apprenticeship. It also said an apprentice had no right to claim employment after completing training. UCO Bank further stated that it would not provide transport, hostel or other residential accommodation as part of the engagement.
