LIC Housing Finance Limited (LIC HFL) has announced 232 apprentice vacancies across India, with online applications open from 20 October to 1 November 2026. Candidates aged 20 to 25 years with a graduate degree completed between 1 October 2001 and 1 October 2026 are eligible. The 12-month programme offers a monthly stipend of Rs 14,150 to Rs 16,650 depending on city category, through the National Apprenticeship Training Scheme portal.

The selection process includes a remote-proctored online exam on 7 November, followed by document verification and interview on 15 November. Engagement letters are tentatively scheduled for the third week of November, with apprenticeship starting later that month. Application fees range from Rs 200 for SC/ST/PwBD candidates to Rs 800 for general/OBC male candidates, plus GST.
Bankersadda frames the LIC HFL apprentice programme primarily as a training opportunity, repeatedly emphasising it is not permanent employment. Adda247 leads with the stipend figure, promising a monthly payment of Rs 16,650, while Bankersadda gives the range Rs 14,150 to Rs 16,650. Both outlets carry near-identical wire-style details, application dates, exam pattern, eligibility, making the coverage factually uniform. The main difference in framing is the lead emphasis: Adda247 presents the recruitment as a concrete job announcement with salary, Bankersadda stresses the apprenticeship nature. A balanced reading treats the programme as a structured 12-month training post with a competitive exam, not a regular LIC job. The November engagement letter issuance is the next milestone to track.
