Canara Bank Apprentice Recruitment 2026
Canara Bank Apprentice Recruitment will live from 1 October to 17 October 2026, it is the window to jump into the opportunity.
The 3,500 seats are split by category:
| Category / State | Seats |
| Unreserved | 1,541 |
| OBC | 845 |
| SC | 553 |
| EWS | 335 |
| ST | 226 |
| Total (category-wise) | 3,500 |
The seats are distributed all over India, so check your state’s figures. Karnataka has the most seats at 581, followed by Uttar Pradesh (409), Tamil Nadu (391), Andhra Pradesh (247), Kerala (240) and Maharashtra (205). But Delhi has not a much higher figure—93 and Bihar 122.
Some states have almost nothing: Manipur has 3 and Mizoram 2. You apply for one state, so pick it deliberately.
Who Is Eligible For Canara Bank Apprentice Recruitment
You need a graduation degree in any discipline from a recognised university. You must have a certification of education and age limit is given:
Candidates who are born between 1988 and 2006 are not somewhere in the 20 — 28 years. So check your date of birth because the candidate’s age must lie in this range.
Upper age relaxation is given to reserved categories in which SC/ST gets 5 years, 3 years for OBC (non-creamy layer) and 10 years for PwBD. Female candidates who are divorced and remarried, widows can also get age relaxation for 35 years (general), 38 (OBC), 40 (SC/ST).
Widows, divorced women and legally separated women who have not remarried get relaxation up to 35 years for General/EWS, 38 for OBC and 40 for SC/ST.
There is also a language condition. Be careful while selecting the state because local language is important to know. If you have studied that language in school then there is no need for a test. Everyone else is tested at document verification, and failing it means you won’t be engaged.
How Selection Works Without an Exam
The notification describes a state-wise merit list built from your marks in Class 12 (or diploma), highest first. There is a cut-off to clear: 60% for General candidates and 55% for SC/ST/PwBD. After the merit list comes document verification with the language test, then a medical examination.
Your graduation percentage doesn’t drive the ranking. Your 12th marks do. A candidate with a modest degree but 88% in Class 12 can outrank a university topper who scraped through school. Don’t fill the wrong number in the form or you’ll be rejected.

Monthly Stipend and Career Growth
This is a 12-month apprenticeship, not a permanent job, and the bank’s notification describes it that way. The stipend is Rs 16,650 a month, made up of Rs 10,500 from Canara Bank and Rs 6,150 as the government’s share through direct benefit transfer.
Take it as training with an income and a bank name on your CV. This matters for your career rather than nothing as a working experience.
