LIC HFL Apprentice Online Form 2026 - 232 Posts
Fresh graduates looking for a first step into housing finance can now apply for LIC Housing Finance Limited's apprenticeship programme. LIC HFL has announced 232 Apprentice seats spread across 24 states and union territories, from Tamil Nadu (29) and Maharashtra (28) to single seats in Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Tripura. Any graduate between 20 and 25 years of age can register. The window is short: applications opened on 20 October 2026 and close on 1 November 2026, with the exam following on 7 November 2026. That gives you less than a week after the deadline, so finish the form early and start revising. This is an apprenticeship, not a permanent job, so read the terms in the official notification.

Eligibility
You need a Bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognised university in India. Arts, commerce, science or any other stream is acceptable as per the summary. Further conditions, such as the year of passing or whether candidates who already completed an apprenticeship can apply, are in the official notification, so read it before you register. Keep your final degree certificate or provisional certificate and marksheets ready to upload. Make sure the name on your degree matches your Aadhaar and NATS profile exactly, because mismatches are a common reason for trouble at document verification.
Your age must be between 20 and 25 years as on 1 October 2026. Additional relaxation applies as per LIC HFL apprenticeship rules for reserved categories, so check the exact years allowed for your category in the official notification before applying. Note that the cut-off date is 1 October 2026, not the last date of the form. If you were already above 25 on that day, you are outside the general limit unless a category relaxation covers you.

Salary / Pay
The notification summary does not mention the monthly stipend for these apprentices. Check the official LIC HFL notification for the stipend amount and training duration instead of trusting unverified figures.
Selection Process
An exam is scheduled for 7 November 2026, and the Admit Card will be issued before it. The summary does not explain the exam pattern or any later stages such as document verification or a local-language test, so download the official notification from the LIC HFL careers page to see how selection works. Since seats are allotted state-wise, your chances also depend on how many seats your state has, for example Karnataka 24, Telangana 16, Uttar Pradesh 16 and Rajasthan 15.
How to Apply
Registration is a two-part process. First, register as a student on the NATS portal (nats.education.gov.in) and complete your profile there. Then pay the fee through the BFSI SSC payment link given in the notification. The fee is ₹800 for General/OBC/EWS men, ₹600 for General/OBC/EWS women and ₹200 for SC/ST/PH candidates, payable by debit card, credit card, net banking or UPI. Both the application and fee payment must be done by 1 November 2026. Keep your photo, signature, ID proof, degree documents and category certificate scanned in advance, and check the preview before final submission. The fee for women is lower only within General/OBC/EWS; SC/ST/PH candidates pay ₹200 regardless of gender. Keep the payment receipt from the BFSI SSC portal safely, as you may need it later.
