This is a unique section specific to Union Bank of India. It covers features, benefits, and eligibility details of UBI's key products: Saving Account, Current Account, Salary Account, Term Deposits, and Union Ease. Candidates must visit the official Union Bank of India website (unionbankofindia.bank.in) to read about these products before the exam. This section carries 20 marks and is often the differentiator between selected and non-selected candidates since most candidates study all other sections equally.
- General/Financial Awareness: Banking current affairs, RBI policies, government schemes, financial literacy — focus on last 6 months of banking news
- General English: Reading comprehension, fill-in-the-blanks, error spotting, sentence rearrangement, cloze test
- Quantitative & Reasoning Aptitude: Number series, simplification, data interpretation, puzzles, coding-decoding, seating arrangement, blood relations
- Computer/Subject Knowledge: MS Office basics, internet, hardware/software fundamentals, networking basics, keyboard shortcuts
Stage 1 — Online Written Examination
All fee-paid eligible candidates will be called for an objective-type online test of 100 questions, 100 marks, in 60 minutes. The exam is conducted on the candidate's own camera-enabled device. There is no negative marking. The test covers General/Financial Awareness, English, Quantitative & Reasoning Aptitude, Computer Knowledge, and Union Bank Products & Services. Shortlisting for the next stage is based on performance in this test.
Stage 2 — Local Language Proficiency Test
Candidates who cannot produce proof of having studied the local language of the applied state (via 10th/12th marksheet) must appear for a Local Language Proficiency Test. This test assesses basic reading, writing, and communication ability in the state's official language. Candidates with 10th/12th certificates showing the local language as a study subject are automatically exempted and directly move to document verification.
Stage 3 — Document Verification
Shortlisted candidates are called for thorough verification of all original documents — Date of Birth proof, Graduation Marksheet and Degree/Provisional Certificate (must show passing date between 01.04.2022 and 01.04.2026), Category Certificate (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS/PwBD in GoI format), NAPS registration proof, NATS enrolment proof, Aadhaar, PAN, APAAR ID, and passport-size photographs. Any discrepancy leads to disqualification.
Stage 4 — Medical Fitness Certificate
Finally selected candidates must submit a Medical Fitness Certificate issued by a practising registered General Physician declaring them medically fit for the apprenticeship. This is self-arranged by the candidate — not a bank-organised medical check. After submitting this certificate and completing all formalities, the apprenticeship contract is signed and training commences.
Stage 5 — Training Contract & Joining
Selected candidates sign a formal apprenticeship contract with Union Bank of India for a 1-year (12-month) On-Job Training period at an assigned branch. Working hours mirror those of clerical staff. After completing 12 months, candidates appear for an assessment test to receive their official apprenticeship completion certificate. Posting location (state, district) is as per the candidate's preference and Bank's availability — home district preference is given.
Unlike other bank recruitments, Union Bank Apprentice 2026 requires candidates to complete registrations on TWO government apprenticeship portals before applying on the BFSI SSC portal. Keep your NAPS Apprentice Code and NATS Enrolment Number ready — these are mandatory fields in the BFSI SSC application form. Without them, the application cannot be completed.
Register on NAPS Portal — Get Your Apprentice Code
Visit www.apprenticeshipindia.gov.in and complete your registration as an apprentice candidate. Fill in all personal and educational details accurately. After successful registration, you receive your NAPS Apprentice Registration Code Number. Note this down — it is a mandatory field in the BFSI SSC application form for Union Bank Apprentice 2026.
Register on NATS Portal — Get Your Enrolment Number
Visit nats.education.gov.in and register to get your NATS Enrolment Number. Complete your student profile on the portal. This too is a compulsory field in the BFSI SSC form. Both NAPS and NATS registrations are required — neither can substitute the other.
Get Your APAAR ID from DigiLocker
Visit www.digilocker.gov.in to generate your APAAR ID (Academic Bank of Credits). This is a unique academic identifier linked to your educational records. It is required as a document upload during the BFSI SSC application. If you do not have one, create it on DigiLocker using your Aadhaar and academic details before starting the BFSI SSC application.
Apply on BFSI SSC Portal — Fill Application Form
Visit beep.bfsissc.com/candidate_register/mkt. Register with your name, date of birth, email ID, and mobile number. Log in and fill the complete application form — personal details, educational qualifications, NAPS code, NATS number, preferred state, and up to 5 preferred districts (home district as first preference). Select your local language for the applied state. Use Save & Next between sections.
Upload All Required Documents
Upload in JPEG/PDF format (each under 1 MB): Aadhaar Card (Front & Back), Passport-size Photograph, Graduation Marksheet/Degree/Provisional Certificate, Caste Certificate (if applicable), PwBD Certificate (if applicable), PAN Card, and APAAR ID Card. Keep file sizes within the specified limits — oversized files will be rejected by the portal.
Pay Application Fee & Submit
Pay the applicable fee online via Debit Card / Credit Card / Net Banking / UPI. General Male: ₹944/- | General Female: ₹708/- | SC/ST/PwBD/Transgender: ₹236/-. After payment, an e-receipt will be sent to your registered email. Take a printout of the complete application form and e-receipt and save for future reference.
