Duration of Training
The apprenticeship program lasts for one year. Apprentices will receive on-the-job training that covers various aspects of banking practices, including learning about different banking products and processes.
Stipend
Apprentices will receive a stipend of ₹15,000 per month for the entire one-year duration of their training. However, it’s important to note that this stipend is the only financial benefit provided. Apprentices will not be eligible for any other allowances or benefits beyond this monthly stipend.
Selection Process
The selection process for the Union Bank of India Apprentice program involves several steps to ensure that the best candidates are chosen. Here’s a simple breakdown of how the selection works:
1. Online Test (Objective Type)
The first step is an online examination, which is a multiple-choice test. It consists of four different sections:
| SN | Name of Tests | No. of Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | General/Financial Awareness | 25 | 25 |
| 2 | General English | 25 | 25 |
| 3 | Quantitative & Reasoning Aptitude | 25 | 25 |
| 4 | Computer Knowledge | 25 | 25 |
| Total | 100 | 100 |
2. Knowledge and Test of Local Language:
After the online test, if you’ve applied for a seat in a specific state, you must be proficient in the local language of that state. This means you should be able to read, write, speak, and understand that language.
You may be required to show your 10th or 12th-grade marksheet as proof that you studied the local language. If you can’t provide this, you’ll have to take a test to demonstrate your knowledge of the local language during your personal interaction and document verification.
3. Wait List
After the tests, the bank will prepare a list of successful candidates. If you make it to this list, it means you’ve been selected, but you’ll need to wait to see if there’s a spot available for you. If someone from the first merit list doesn’t accept the offer or doesn’t report for duty, candidates from the waitlist will be given a chance.
4. Medical Examination
If you’re selected, you’ll need to pass a medical examination. This means you must provide a medical certificate from a practising doctor who has at least an MBBS.
