Salary and Selection Process
Selected apprentices will receive a monthly stipend of ₹15,000 during the 12-month training period. This is a training stipend, not a regular salary, and no additional allowances or benefits are provided. Completion of an apprenticeship does not guarantee permanent employment with the bank.
The selection process involves two stages: the Online Written Examination (objective-type, no negative marking) and the Local Language Proficiency Test (for candidates who qualify the online exam, assessing reading, writing, and speaking skills in the state’s local language). Candidates who studied the local language at Class 10 or Class 12 may be exempted from this test, subject to document verification. Final selection depends on document verification and meeting the medical fitness standards set by the bank.
Admit Card Error – What to Do
If you notice an error on your admit card (wrong name, incorrect photograph, wrong exam centre, or any other discrepancy), contact the Central Bank of India’s examination helpdesk or the official website support portal immediately. Report the error as soon as possible; the bank typically makes corrections before exam day when reported through the official channel. Do not assume errors will be corrected on exam day – reporting errors early is critical to avoid complications during the examination.
