# Indian Bank opens 1,500 apprentice posts, applications from November 5 2026-11-06T05:18:26+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Indian Bank has invited applications for 1,500 apprentice posts for the financial year 2026-27. Applications opened on November 5 and will close on November 25, 2026, on the bank's official website indianbank.bank.in. Applicants must hold a graduate degree in any discipline from a recognised university, with graduation completed between April 1, 2022, and November 1, 2026. The age limit is 20 to 28 years as of November 1, 2026. Selection will be through an online examination and a Local Language Proficiency Test (LLPT). Candidates who graduated on or after April 1, 2022, must first register on the National Apprenticeship Training Scheme (NATS) 2.0 portal at nats.education.gov.in with a 100% complete profile to be eligible. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The 1,500 apprentice posts aim to fill a gap in Indian Bank's workforce while giving graduates on-the-job training under the Apprentices Act, 1961. The four-year graduation window (April 2022 to November 2026) is unusually wide, potentially drawing applicants who completed their degree years ago, not just recent pass-outs. The mandatory NATS 2.0 portal registration before applying adds a hurdle that could reduce the applicant pool. The state-wise and category-wise vacancy breakdown, not detailed in the source, will determine where the positions are most available. Applications run until November 25, 2026. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Straight procedural reporting with no political slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
