For candidates who applied to one of the UP Co-operative Bank posts earlier this year, here is the current status. The U.P. Co-Operative Institutional Service Board (UPCISB) has released exam city details, and the admit card is scheduled to go live on 05 September — just a couple of days before the examination itself, set for 07–08 September. This is a tight interval, so candidates from this recruitment should be monitoring the official site closely rather than checking in only occasionally.
This recruitment covers five roles across UP’s cooperative banking and technical services structure — Manager, Junior Manager, Assistant/Cashier, Assistant/Typist, and Assistant Engineer (Civil) — with 116 posts in total. It is a fairly broad mix, spanning banking roles, clerical positions, and a civil engineering post, so eligibility differs considerably depending on the post applied for. Below is a complete breakdown: dates, fees, vacancy and eligibility by post, and every official link required ahead of the examination.

Important Dates
This recruitment has followed a fairly eventful timeline, with the examination postponed and rescheduled along the way. The complete picture is as follows:
- Online Apply Start Date: 25 March 2026
- Online Apply Last Date: 15 April 2026
- Last Date for Fee Payment: 15 April 2026
- Exam Date: 07 – 08 September 2026
- Exam City Details: 31 August 2026 (sent via email)
- Admit Card: 05 September 2026
- Result: To be updated
Notably, exam city details were sent via email rather than through a downloadable portal link — a departure from most recruitments. Candidates who have not located this in their inbox should check their spam folder before assuming an issue has occurred. Given that a re-exam date notice and a postponement notice both appear among the official links, this cycle has seen more revisions than most, so candidates should confirm all details directly against the official UPCISB website rather than relying on the original schedule.
Application Fee
The fee structure as specified applies only to particular categories — OBC candidates from UP pay ₹500, SC candidates from UP pay ₹250, and PH candidates pay nothing. The notification does not specify a separate General category fee in this summary, so candidates applying outside these listed categories are advised to consult the official notification PDF directly to confirm the exact applicable fee.
Payment is processed online through standard channels: debit card, credit card, internet banking, IMPS, or a cash card/mobile wallet.
Age Limit (As on 1 January 2026)
Candidates must be between 21 and 40 years of age as on 1 January 2026 to be eligible. UPCISB provides additional age relaxation in accordance with its standard examination rules, so candidates should verify the exact relaxation applicable to their category in the official notification.
Vacancy Breakdown
116 posts spread across five roles, and the split is fairly uneven:
| Post Name | Number of Posts |
|---|---|
| Manager | 07 |
| Junior Manager | 45 |
| Assistant/Cashier (Banking Assistant/Clerical Staff) | 57 |
| Assistant/Typist | 02 |
| Assistant Engineer (Civil) | 05 |
Assistant/Cashier and Junior Manager together account for over 100 of the 116 posts, indicating that the bulk of this recruitment centres on clerical and junior banking roles rather than the senior Manager or specialised Engineer positions, which carry considerably fewer seats.
Eligibility Criteria by Post
Eligibility differs meaningfully across these five roles, so candidates are advised to review the section relevant to their applied post carefully:
| Post Name | Eligibility Criteria |
|---|---|
| Manager | Bachelor’s in Commerce, or Economics/Maths/Statistics with 55% marks plus basic computer knowledge (O Level or equivalent), OR B.Tech/B.E. in CS/IT, BCA, or MCA with 55% marks, OR BBA/MBA in Banking, Finance, or HR, or a full-time PGDM in the same fields |
| Junior Manager | Same academic options as Manager — Bachelor’s in Commerce/Economics/Maths/Statistics with 55% and basic computer knowledge, OR B.Tech/B.E. (CS/IT)/BCA/MCA with 55%, OR BBA/MBA/PGDM in Banking, Finance, or HR |
| Assistant/Cashier (Banking Assistant/Clerical Staff) | Bachelor’s degree with 55% marks from any recognized university, plus a mandatory minimum CCC certificate in computers |
| Assistant/Typist | Graduation degree from a recognized university, typing speed of 30 wpm in Hindi and 40 wpm in English, plus a mandatory minimum CCC certificate |
| Assistant Engineer (Civil) | Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering from a recognized university or an equivalent government-recognized qualification |
The CCC certificate requirement for both Assistant/Cashier and Assistant/Typist warrants specific attention — it is listed as mandatory rather than merely preferred. Candidates who do not already hold this certification are advised to obtain it well in advance rather than risk complications at the document verification stage.

How to Check and Download the Exam City Details
The process here differs somewhat from most recruitments, as exam city information was distributed by email rather than through a standard portal download:
- Check the email address registered during the application for the exam city intimation.
- If it cannot be located, visit the official UPCISB website and look for the Exam City / Admit Card Notice link under Latest Notifications.
- Open the relevant notice PDF.
- Verify the exam date, examination schedule, shift timings, and any other instructions carefully.
- Cross-check all details against the information submitted during application.
- Download the notice PDF and save it for future reference.
- Take a printout for reference ahead of the examination.
For the admit card specifically, this is scheduled to go live separately on 05 September — candidates should check the official portal directly on or after that date rather than assuming the email will cover it as well.
Mode of Selection
Selection proceeds through a genuinely thorough process: Prelims Written Exam (if required), Mains Written Exam, Typing Test (for Assistant/Typist), Medical Examination, and Document Verification.
The phrase “if required” alongside Prelims is worth noting — it suggests UPCISB may bypass the preliminary stage depending on applicant numbers for a given post, so candidates should not assume the process will be identical across roles within this recruitment. Candidates applying for Assistant/Typist should note that the typing test represents a separate hurdle beyond the written examinations, and this skill should be maintained alongside written preparation rather than addressed as an afterthought.
