# UCO Bank opens 530 apprentice posts, apply by 29 October 2026-10-26T11:51:42+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets UCO Bank has invited applications for 530 apprentice posts. Eligible graduates aged 20 to 28 as of 1 October 2026 can apply online at uco.bank.in until 29 October 2026. Selected candidates will receive a monthly stipend of Rs 16,650. Selection is through a 60-minute written examination with 100 questions covering general awareness, English, reasoning, and quantitative aptitude. The merit list will be drawn state-wise and category-wise. Application fees range from Rs 200 to Rs 800 plus GST, depending on the candidate's category. The fee is non-refundable. For details, candidates can check the bank's official website. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both sources present the UCO Bank apprentice recruitment as a straight news service, reproducing identical eligibility, fee, and selection details from the bank's notification. The only material difference is formatting: hindustantimes.com includes an unrelated 'Agniveer Retirement 2026' link in its sidebar, while indiatoday.in leads with a curated credit line. Neither outlet injects stance, criticism, or praise. Every figure, criterion, and deadline is verified against each other. The uniform coverage means a reader can safely take any fact from either source. The shared next step is the application deadline of 29 October 2026, after which the bank will conduct the written examination. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - hindustantimes.com (neutral report) straight wire copy of notification, no framing - indiatoday.in (neutral report) identical service journalism, no framing This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
