CBI Apprentice Recruitment 2026 Online Form

This page tracks CBI Apprentice Recruitment 2026 Online Form, a certificate verification schedule. The key figures are an application window closing 22 June 2026 and a fee of ₹944 for unreserved candidates. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

Applications open on 12 June 2026 and close on 22 June 2026, giving candidates 11 days to complete the process. At 11 days this is a normal-length window, but the fee and upload steps are the ones that fail late, so leave a few days of margin. The exam is currently shown for As per Schedule; treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

The age limit runs from 20 to 28 years for unreserved candidates. That is an 8-year band, so candidates near either edge should confirm the exact cut-off date the notification measures age against — it is usually a fixed reference date, not the date you apply. On qualifications, the notification states: Graduation Degree from Any Recognized University in India. More Eligibility Details Read the Notification. If your degree is an equivalent under a different name, look for the equivalence clause in the official PDF before paying the fee — a form rejected for a qualification mismatch is not usually refundable.

Fee-paying categories are charged between ₹236 and ₹944, depending on category. Payment is accepted via offline bank challan. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

Document verification is where otherwise-successful candidates most often fall out, usually over a missing category certificate or a name mismatch across documents. Assemble originals plus self-attested photocopies well before the date, and get any discrepancy in spelling or date of birth corrected in advance — it cannot be resolved on the day.
