# Union Bank of India opens 395 SO, GBO posts for 2026-27 2026-08-26T09:01:10+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Union Bank of India has released the official notification for Specialist Officer (SO) and General Banking Officer (GBO) recruitment under Project 2026-27, with 395 vacancies across scales from Manager (MMGS-II) to Deputy General Manager (TEGS-VI). Online applications open on July 21, 2026, and close on August 10, 2026. The vacancies include 163 posts for Manager (MMGS-II), 153 for Senior Manager (MMGS-III), 52 for Chief Manager (SMGS-IV), 20 for Assistant General Manager (SMGS-V), and 7 for Deputy General Manager (TEGS-VI). Eligible candidates must hold relevant degrees such as B.E./B.Tech, MBA, CA, or postgraduate qualifications, along with prescribed work experience. The selection process includes online exams, group discussions, or interviews depending on the scale. Applications must be submitted online at unionbankofindia.co.in. ## Indian Opinion Analysis This is Union Bank's first large specialist recruitment since its amalgamation with Andhra Bank and Corporation Bank in 2020, which left gaps in niche roles like fraud investigation and IT audit. The 395 posts represent roughly 2 percent of the bank's total officer cadre, a modest but targeted intake. Most of the Manager and Senior Manager vacancies are likely for branches upgrading to digital and credit operations, while the seven Deputy General Manager posts signal succession planning at the top. The bank's next quarterly results, due in October 2026, will show whether this hiring translates into lower non-performing asset ratios in specialist verticals. ## Coverage - pw.live Straight factual listing of dates, vacancies, and eligibility from the official notification This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
