UCO Bank has announced 530 apprentice vacancies for the 2026–27 financial year across 31 States and Union Territories. The official notification lists openings by location and reservation category. West Bengal has the highest allocation with 86 seats, followed by Uttar Pradesh with 45 and Odisha with 41. Candidates may apply for only one State or UT, so they should check both the vacancy table and local-language requirement before choosing.
Applications are scheduled from October 14 to October 29, 2026. The one-year apprenticeship includes a monthly stipend of ₹16,650. This is an apprenticeship engagement, not a regular bank officer or clerical appointment.
