Eligibility Criteria

Educational Qualification

You need to have completed your qualifying degree on or before 30 June 2026 — if your final-year results are declared after this date, you won’t be eligible, even if you’ve already appeared for the exam.

For Generalists:
A Graduate or Post-Graduate degree in any discipline — Engineering, Arts, Science, Commerce, Agriculture, Data Science, and more are all accepted — from a UGC/AICTE-recognised university, with a minimum of 60% marks (55% for SC/ST/PwBD candidates) in the qualifying degree.

For Hindi Officers:
This one’s more specific — you need a Master’s degree with a Hindi-English combination, in one of these patterns:

• Master’s in Hindi, with English as a compulsory/elective subject or exam medium
• Master’s in English, with Hindi as a compulsory/elective subject or exam medium
• Master’s in any other subject, studied in Hindi medium with English as a compulsory/elective subject
• Master’s in any other subject, studied in English medium with Hindi as a compulsory/elective subject
• Master’s in any other subject, with both Hindi and English as compulsory/elective subjects or exam mediums

Whichever pattern applies to you, you’ll still need the same 60% marks (55% for SC/ST/PwBD) cutoff.

✅ A few things to keep in mind:

• Your degree must follow the 10+2+3 pattern (or an equivalent recognised system).
• If your university only awards CGPA/OGPA/SGPA, you’ll need an official conversion certificate from your institution stating the exact percentage — and UIIC rounds down, so 59.99% counts as below 60%, not 60%.
• Basic computer knowledge is compulsory for all candidates, regardless of discipline.

💡 Pro Tip: If your college issues only a grade point average, request your percentage-equivalence certificate now rather than at the last minute — many universities take a few days to issue it, and you’ll need it ready before you submit your application.

Age Limit (as on 30 June 2026)

✅ You’re eligible if you were born between 30 June 1996 and 30 June 2005 (both dates inclusive), before applying any category relaxation.

Application Fee

💡 Pro Tip: Fees once paid are non-refundable under any circumstances, so double-check your category and eligibility before you pay.

Selection Process

The UIIC AO 2026 selection runs through three stages:

1. Tier-I: Preliminary Examination — Online objective test covering English, Reasoning, and Quantitative Aptitude (100 marks, 60 minutes). This is only a qualifying stage.

Important: The three sections are separately timed, with 20 minutes allotted to each section.

Candidates must qualify in each test/section by securing the minimum passing marks determined by the Company and must also obtain the prescribed minimum overall qualifying score.

An adequate number of candidates from each category, as decided by the Company, will be shortlisted for the Tier II (Main) Examination.

1. Tier-II: Main Examination — Objective test (English, Reasoning, Quant, General Awareness with a financial-sector focus, and Computer Knowledge) followed immediately by a Descriptive Test (Letter Writing + Essay). Hindi Officer candidates get a modified pattern that includes a Professional Knowledge paper on Hindi/English and translation.

Tier II: Main Examination – Generalists

(i) Online Main Examination

(ii) Descriptive Test

Important:

• The Objective Test carries 250 marks, while the Descriptive Test carries 30 marks.
• Both tests are conducted online.
• The Descriptive Test is administered immediately after the Objective Test and must be typed on the computer.
• Candidates must qualify each section and also meet the overall qualifying score prescribed by the Company.
• The Descriptive Test is evaluated only for candidates who qualify the Objective Main Examination.
• Final merit: Tier-II Objective Test and Interview marks are considered in the ratio of 75:25.
• Marks obtained in Tier-I (Preliminary Examination) and the Descriptive Test are not considered for the final merit list.

• Final merit for Hindi Officers is prepared using Tier-II (Objective + Descriptive) and Interview marks in the ratio of 75:25.
• Tier-I marks are not considered for the final merit list.
• If two or more candidates have the same consolidated score, the candidate older in age is placed higher in the merit list.

1. Interview — Conducted for candidates who clear Tier-II.

Your final merit list is based purely on Tier-II Main Exam marks and Interview marks in a 75:25 ratio. Prelims and Descriptive Test scores are only used to qualify — they don’t count toward your final rank.
