If you have a professional degree gathering dust on your shelf, this might be your moment to put it to use.
What Is This Recruitment About?
Union Bank of India (UBI) needs skilled professionals to fill roles ranging from Manager (MMGS-II) all the way up to Deputy General Manager (TEGS-VI). These are not entry-level jobs. The bank wants people with real qualifications and, in most cases, real work experience.
The online application window opens on July 21, 2026, and closes on August 10, 2026. Mark these dates on your calendar, set a phone reminder, tell your mom to remind you, do whatever it takes. Banks are not known for extending deadlines out of sympathy.

Who Can Apply
Eligibility depends heavily on the post you pick. Broadly, the bank is looking for:
- Graduates in any discipline for General Banking Officer roles
- B.E./B.Tech, MCA, or M.Sc holders for IT and Project Management posts
- CA, CMA, or CFA professionals for finance-related posts
- Law graduates for Law Officer positions
- B.Arch holders with Council registration for Architect posts
- Engineering graduates for Civil, Electrical, and Fire Officer roles
Age limits also shift with the scale. Scale II and III posts generally want candidates between 25 and 38 years old. Scale V and VI posts stretch the upper limit to 47 years, since these are senior positions that need seasoned professionals. Usual relaxations apply for SC, ST, OBC, PwBD, and Ex-Servicemen candidates.
What About the Pay?
Banking jobs are known for decent pay packages, and this one does not disappoint.
- Scale II: ₹64,820 to ₹93,960 per month
- Scale III: ₹85,920 to ₹1,02,940 per month
- Scale IV: ₹1,20,940 per month
- Scale V: ₹1,20,940 to ₹1,35,020 per month
- Scale VI: ₹1,40,500 to ₹1,56,500 per month
On top of basic pay, officers get Dearness Allowance, Special Allowance, HRA or leased housing, medical reimbursement, and LFC benefits. Not a bad deal for a government-linked bank job.
