UCO Bank is hiring 530 apprentices across India under the Apprentices Act, 1961, with seats split state-wise and category-wise.

Online applications close on 29 October 2026. Register on the NATS portal first, because the UCO Bank apprenticeship is applied for there before the fee step.
Who Should Apply for UCO Bank Apprentice 2026
Recent graduates of any recognised degree who hold a certificate issued on or after 01.04.2022 and who can show proficiency in a local language of the state they choose; candidates with one year or more of training or job experience after graduation, or with a past apprenticeship, are not eligible.
The exact qualification, age and other conditions are under Eligibility Criteria.
Watch Out Before You Apply
- Apply for one state or UT only; two or more applications from the same candidate will be rejected.

- Your degree must be completed with a certificate issued on or after 01.04.2022, so check this date before you apply.
- If you claim OBC, you need a non-creamy-layer certificate issued on or after 01.04.2026; otherwise apply under General.
