Punjab National Bank PNB Apprentice Result 2026

This page tracks Punjab National Bank PNB Apprentice Result 2026, a result announcement. The key figures are an application window closing 24 February 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.

Banking recruitment is decided largely on the mains stage, with the preliminary used only to shortlist. Regional rural bank posts additionally test proficiency in the local language, which is a genuine eliminator for out-of-state candidates.

Applications open on 08 February 2026 and close on 24 February 2026, giving candidates 17 days to complete the process. At 17 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 March 2026; 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: Bachelor Degree in Any Stream in Any Recognized University in India. 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 ₹472 and ₹944, depending on category. Payment is accepted via debit card, credit card, and net banking. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

Once you have your result, download and save the scorecard immediately — result portals for large recruitments are frequently taken offline weeks after publication, and the scorecard is required at document verification. Watch the same recruiting body for the next stage notice, which is usually published separately rather than as an update to the result page.
