IOB Apprentice Admit Card 2026 — Overview

About IOB & This Apprenticeship Programme

Indian Overseas Bank (IOB) is a leading Public Sector Bank headquartered in Chennai, with operations across India and abroad. For FY 2026–27, IOB has invited online applications for 750 Apprentice posts under the Apprentices Act, 1961, offering graduates practical, hands-on experience in banking as part of IOB’s Apprenticeship Policy. Apprentices selected under this programme are engaged through the NATS/NAPS/BEEP portals and are governed by the Apprentices Act rather than regular bank employment rules — meaning apprentices are NOT treated as regular employees of the bank, and completion of the apprenticeship does not guarantee or entitle a candidate to regular employment with IOB.

Remote Online Exam — Technical Requirements & Exam-Day Instructions

• The IOB Apprentice online exam is conducted remotely — candidates take the test from their own location using a personal device
• Acceptable devices: Smartphone, Laptop, Desktop, or Tablet — as long as the device has a working front camera and microphone
• A stable, uninterrupted internet connection is essential throughout the exam duration
• Candidates are strongly advised to use the official mock test facility (available till 1 August 2026) beforehand to familiarise themselves with the remote exam interface and avoid last-minute technical issues
• Since there is no physical exam centre in the traditional sense, candidates should test their device’s camera, microphone, and internet connectivity well in advance of exam day

• Keep a valid original photo ID proof ready alongside the printed admit card, as instructed in the call letter

Last-Minute Preparation Tips for the IOB Apprentice Exam

• Take the official mock test before 1 August 2026 to get familiar with the remote-exam interface, especially camera/microphone permissions and navigation between sections
• With no sectional time limit across the 90-minute, 100-mark paper, plan your own time allocation — e.g., roughly 20–22 minutes per section, leaving a few minutes buffer for review
• Revise recent banking and financial current affairs from the last 3–4 months, along with static banking awareness (RBI functions, monetary policy tools, key committees)
• For Computer Knowledge, brush up on MS Office basics, internet browser functions, and basic computer hardware terminology — this section tends to be scoring if well-prepared
• Practice basic Quantitative Aptitude topics (percentages, averages, simplification) and common reasoning puzzle types under timed conditions
• Test your internet connection, device camera, and microphone the night before the exam to avoid last-minute technical glitches
• Keep your printed admit card and a valid original photo ID ready and easily accessible on exam day
