Result Overview — Important Facts You Must Know
What Has Been Released?
Bank of Maharashtra has published a State-wise Provisional Merit List for 600 Apprentice posts under Notification No. AX1/ST/RP/Apprentices/Notification/2025-26. The list is downloadable as a PDF from the official careers section at bankofmaharashtra.bank.in. This is a provisional list — final engagement requires successful document verification and medical fitness clearance.
How Was the Merit List Prepared?
There was no written exam and no interview. The merit list was prepared state-wise in descending order of marks/percentage obtained in Class 12 (HSC/10+2) or Diploma. In case of identical percentages, the older candidate (born earlier) is ranked higher. This is a purely objective, marks-based selection — completely fair and transparent.
State-wise Selection — Why It Matters
The 600 vacancies are distributed across multiple States and UTs. Candidates applied for the specific state where they hold local language proficiency. Merit is calculated separately per state, so your competition was only against others who applied for the same state. Provisionally selected candidates will undergo training in the state they were selected for, based on bank requirements.
This Is a Provisional List — Not a Final Confirmation
The published list is provisional. Final engagement as an apprentice will only be confirmed after (1) Document Verification, (2) Antecedent verification, and (3) Medical fitness. The Bank reserves full right to cancel any provisional selection if documents are found invalid, incorrect, or not meeting eligibility requirements. Please do not discontinue any current activity until you receive the official engagement letter.
Waiting List — Valid for One Year
As per the official notification, a state-wise Waiting List will be maintained for one year. If provisionally selected candidates do not join, or vacancies remain unfilled, candidates from the waiting list will be called for apprenticeship training in order of merit. This means even candidates not in the main list should check the official website regularly for waiting list updates.
NATS Portal Registration Is Mandatory
Finally selected candidates are required to register themselves on the National Apprenticeship Training Scheme (NATS) Portal at nats.education.gov.in before commencing training. A Contract of Apprenticeship must also be executed before training begins. Failure to register on NATS or sign the contract will result in cancellation of engagement. Keep your Aadhaar card ready for NATS registration.

NATS stands for National Apprenticeship Training Scheme, a Government of India portal at nats.education.gov.in. Under the Apprentices Act, 1961, all apprentices must be registered on this portal before training begins. Finally selected Bank of Maharashtra apprentices must submit their applications along with required documents through this portal. You will also need your Aadhaar card for NATS registration. The bank will guide you through this process after final engagement.
What happens if I miss the Document Verification date?
If you are provisionally shortlisted but miss the DV date without prior intimation, your candidature will be automatically cancelled and the next candidate from the merit list / waiting list will be called in your place. The bank will not grant re-scheduling or second chances without extraordinary justification. Please treat the DV date as non-negotiable and make all arrangements well in advance. 💙
What certificate is issued after completing the apprenticeship?
On successful completion of the one-year apprenticeship and passing the qualifying test, the National Council for Vocational Training (NCVT) — a Government of India body — issues a Certificate of Proficiency. This nationally recognised certificate confirms your trained banking skills and is highly valued in the banking and financial services sector for future job applications and competitive exam interviews.
