UIIC Opens 153 Apprentice Posts with 10 Vacancies in Kerala

United India Insurance Company Limited (UIIC) has announced 153 apprentice positions across India, with ten vacancies reserved in Kerala. The one-year apprenticeship offers practical on-the-job training for recent graduates, and online applications will be accepted until 20 January.

UIIC apprentice recruitment key details

The UIIC apprentice recruitment drive is aimed at graduates from any discipline. Candidates should note that those who obtained their qualifications before 1 July 2021 are not eligible to apply. The apprenticeship period lasts one year and successful applicants will undergo structured training designed to familiarise them with insurance operations.

Prospective applicants must submit their applications online through the official UIIC website. Full details, including the notification and application portal, are available at www.uiic.co.in. Applicants are advised to read the notification carefully for vacancy allocation, reservation norms and document requirements before applying.

Application process and deadline

Applications for the UIIC apprenticeship must be completed online by 20 January. Candidates should prepare scanned copies of their academic certificates, identification, and any other documents requested in the notification. Given the limited number of vacancies in each state, applicants are advised to apply early and ensure all information is accurate.

Eligibility and selection

Eligibility requires a degree in any subject. The notification specifies that candidates who received their qualification before 1 July 2021 will not be considered eligible. Shortlisting and selection procedures will be outlined in the official notice; applicants should follow the UIIC guidance for selection stages, which may include document verification and other assessments.

Other apprenticeship opportunities

In addition to UIIC, Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited has opened a separate apprenticeship recruitment for 200 candidates. That programme sets the age range at 21 to 28 years, with eligibility and age calculated as of 1 December 2025. Selected apprentices will receive a monthly stipend of ₹9,000.

Applicants for Mazagon Dock vacancies must register on the National Apprenticeship Training Scheme portal at nats.education.gov.in and then apply for vacancies in a single selected state, as instructed in the recruitment notice.

Practical advice for applicants

Prospective candidates should verify that they meet the date-of-qualification requirement and prepare supporting documents in advance. Where multiple apprenticeship notifications are active, applicants should apply only for the position best aligned with their qualifications and location preference. Keep an eye on the official UIIC site for updates and corrigenda to the notification.

These apprenticeship schemes present an opportunity for recent graduates to gain industry experience in insurance and shipbuilding sectors. Candidates seeking immediate updates may download regional news apps or visit the employers’ websites for the official notices and application links.
