Kendrapara UCB Manager & Assistant Manager Recruitment 2026 – Apply Online for 14 Posts

Vacancies: 14 · Posts: 2 designations · Type: Cooperative bank cadre (not a government post) · Mode: Online · Fee: ₹750 (UR) / ₹500 (SC/ST/SEBC/Women/PwBD/ESM) · Apply: 02 October 2026–25 October 2026 · Pay: Pre-revised 6th CPC; Manager GP ₹4,200 · Selection: Online test + viva-voce · Location: Kendrapara, Odisha

Odisha domicile is compulsory, and the Manager seat requires officer-cadre experience. The Kendrapara Urban Cooperative Bank Ltd. (Kendrapara UCB) has opened online applications for 6 Manager and 8 Assistant Manager posts. Registration, including editing, runs from 02 October 2026 to 25 October 2026 on the bank’s career page.

Both posts need a Bachelor’s degree in any discipline from a recognised university, with at least 55% marks in aggregate. Manager applicants also need 3 years in the officer cadre of a commercial bank, or 5 years in the officer cadre of a co-operative bank or a financial institution such as a DFI, NBFC, insurance company or investment company. Assistant Manager experience is a preference, not a printed minimum.

The bank is an urban co-operative bank at Kendrapara, Odisha, registered with the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation. Its own site describes co-operative banking since 1986, with six branches. Pay printed in this advertisement is the pre-revised 6th Pay Commission scale. The notice says a 7th Pay Commission revision is in process, and it prints no revised figure.

Employment status: The Kendrapara Urban Cooperative Bank Ltd. is an urban co-operative bank, not a state or central government department. This recruitment is governed by the Bank’s own service rules. A 12-month probation and later confirmation are in the Bank’s service, not in a government civil-service cadre.

⚠️ Application Alerts

• Date note: the opening schedule prints the fee payment period from 02 October 2026 to 25 October 2026. Clause (viii) of How to Apply prints fees payable from 01 October 2026 to 21 October 2026. Both dates are in the same PDF. Pay by the earlier printed end date, 21 October 2026, and finish registration and editing by 25 October 2026.
• A residential certificate must be issued no earlier than the date of the advertisement. The PDF does not print an advertisement number or a notice date on its face. The file metadata is 01 October 2026. Confirm the certificate date the portal accepts.
• The name on the call letter must match the photo identity exactly. A post-marriage name change needs the original gazette notification, marriage certificate or affidavit.
• The handwritten declaration must be in the candidate’s own handwriting and in English. A declaration written by someone else, or in another language, makes the application invalid.

• Preferred, not mandatory, for both posts: a Master’s degree in Finance, Bank Management, Cooperative Management or Business Administration, or Information Technology as a subject at graduation or post-graduation. The notice says preference shall be given. It does not say these degrees are required.

No separate PwBD or Ex-Servicemen vacancy column is printed. Women get the age relaxation and the lower fee printed in the notice. There is no women-only vacancy column.

Important Dates

What Posts Are Available? – Kendrapara UCB Vacancy & Eligibility 2026

Assistant Manager has the larger share: 8 of 14 seats. Manager is the only post with a compulsory experience gate. The roster below is the PDF’s own count. One public listing swaps the reserved figures; use this table.

Vacancies are provisional and may increase or decrease based on the Bank’s requirements. No EWS column is printed. No category-wise split beyond this roster is printed.

What Is the Age Limit?

Age is reckoned as on 01 April 2026. The upper-age proviso allows 5 years for SC, ST, SEBC (OBC), Women and Ex-Servicemen. A candidate in more than one of those categories gets only the single most beneficial relaxation. The age table also prints 10 years for Persons with Benchmark Disability. Paragraph E does not repeat that 10-year line.

Minimum age for both posts is 21 years as of 01 April 2026. The table does not print the youngest birth date.

Examples (Manager, General): ✅ A 41-year-old UR candidate born on 02 April 1985 is eligible (within the 42-year limit as of 01 April 2026). ❌ A 43-year-old UR candidate born on 01 April 1983 is not eligible (exceeds the maximum age by 1 year).

For Assistant Manager, the printed UR outer date is 02 April 1994. Use our Age Eligibility Calculator to check instantly. Manager experience years can be checked on the Experience Calculator.

What Is the Salary?

The notice prints a pre-revised scale, not a take-home figure.

The Bank is in the process of implementing the 7th Pay Commission salary. No revised basic, no DA rate and no in-hand amount are printed. An in-hand estimate is not calculated here. The appointment order is the document that will show the pay actually offered.

What Is the Application Fee?

Clause (viii) repeats ₹750 and ₹500, and its category line names SC, ST, SEBC (OBC), Women and Ex-Servicemen. It does not repeat PwBD. Bank transaction charges for online payment are borne by the candidate. A refund rule is not printed.

How to Apply?

Applications are online only. No other mode is accepted.

1. Open the Kendrapara UCB website, go to the career page, and click Apply Online. The registration screen in use is the Kendrapara UCB new-registration page. Registration is open until 25 October 2026.
2. Choose “Click here for New Registration”. Enter name, contact details and email. Note the provisional registration number and password. An email and SMS are also sent.
3. Use Save and Next to check entries before final submission. After Complete Registration, the notice says no changes will be entertained.
4. Upload a photograph (4.5 cm × 3.5 cm, not more than 50 KB), a signature in black ink (not in capital letters), a left-thumb impression, and the handwritten declaration. Signature, thumb and declaration images must not exceed 20 KB. Files are JPG or JPEG. Use the Photo & Signature Resizer if the scan is over the size limit.
5. The declaration text printed in the notice is: “I, [name], hereby declare that all the information submitted by me in the application form is correct, true and valid. I will present the supporting documents as and when required.” It must be in your handwriting and in English.
6. Pay the fee online. Suggested, not a notification rule: pay by 21 October 2026, the earlier of the two printed payment end-dates, and keep the receipt.

Keep the same email and mobile active until the process ends. Call letters are sent through the registered email.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Paying on 22–25 October because the opening schedule allows it, while clause (viii) stops online payment on 21 October 2026.
• Applying for Manager with a graduate degree only. The 3-year or 5-year officer-cadre experience is part of the eligibility line, not the preference line.
• Uploading a residential certificate issued before the advertisement. The notice says it must be issued on or after that date.
• Using a typed declaration, except for visually impaired candidates who cannot write. For them, the text may be typed, with the left-thumb impression below it.
• Appearing more than once in the online examination for a post. Multiple appearance leads to cancellation of candidature. If more than one call letter is generated, appear only once.

How Are Candidates Selected?

Selection is a written test followed by a viva-voce. Clause J says the final selection is the aggregate of the written test and the viva-voce. Clause L says the final selection is based on the aggregate score in the written test, the viva-voce and experience. Both lines are printed. Viva-voce marks are not printed.

The online test is in English. The Bank may change the structure and will inform you of that on the website.

Wrong answers carry a penalty of one-fourth (0.25) of the marks assigned to that question. A blank answer has no penalty. Cut-offs are applied in two stages: scores in individual tests, and the total score. A candidate may appear only once for a post.

The only centre in Annexure-I is Bhubaneswar. The Bank may cancel a centre, add centres, or allot a centre other than the one opted. No request for a change of centre, venue, date or session will be entertained. The candidate appears at their own risk and expense.

Shortlisted candidates are called for viva-voce at the head office, At-Kajala, Post/Dist Kendrapara, Odisha, or at any other venue the Management decides. The venue notice will be on the bank website. For the General and Financial Awareness section, revise with our daily Current Affairs digest (4 October 2026).

Legal disputes on this recruitment are subject to the jurisdiction of Kendrapara District only.

The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take

This is a 14-seat officer drive in one urban co-operative bank, not an IBPS scale-I intake. The closest comparison a Kendrapara candidate is actually weighing is another Odisha co-operative bank officer notice. This advertisement does not cite those drives, so no pay or vacancy figure from them is used here. What this notice itself makes different is the Odisha permanent-resident gate, the 55% floor, and a hard experience rule on the Manager row only.

Best fit: an Odisha-domicile graduate already in the officer cadre of a commercial or co-operative bank, who wants a Kendrapara-based co-operative bank role and can sit an English online test plus a viva-voce.

A poor match if: you are outside Odisha, you are a fresh graduate aiming at Manager, or you need a confirmed 7th Pay Commission figure before you apply. The printed scale is pre-revised, and the 7th Pay Commission line has no amount attached.

Practical tip: pay the fee by 21 October 2026, then use the edit window through 25 October 2026 to correct the form. Keep the residential certificate, the 55% marksheet and, for Manager, the officer-cadre experience certificate ready for joining. The NOC for a serving government, quasi-government or PSU employee, including a nationalised bank, is required at joining, not at the online application.

What Documents Are Required?

These are submitted at joining, in original and as self-attested photocopies. Non-submission debars candidature.

• System-generated printout of the registered online application.
• Proof of date of birth: birth certificate, or matriculation / high school certificate from the Board of Secondary Education, Odisha, or an equivalent from a recognised board, council or Indian university.
• Marksheets and certificates of matriculation and all other examinations, as on the date of submission.
• Residential certificate issued by the competent authority, not before the date of the advertisement.
• Caste certificate for SC / ST / OBC, in the format stipulated by the Government of India, issued not before the date of the advertisement. For OBC, the certificate must say the candidate is not in the creamy layer excluded from reservation for Other Backwards Classes in civil posts under the Government of Odisha. The non-creamy-layer OBC certificate should be dated on or after 01 April 2021. The caste name must match the government notification letter for letter.
• No Objection Certificate at joining, for candidates serving in government, quasi-government or public sector undertakings, including nationalised banks and financial institutions.
• Experience certificate, where applicable.
• Three recent colour passport photographs, light background, facing forward, without dark or reflective glasses.
• Character certificates from two gazetted officers in state or central government service, or from two MLAs or MPs.
• Photo identity at the examination and interview: PAN, passport, permanent driving licence, voter card, bank passbook with photograph, Aadhaar or e-Aadhaar with photograph, or the other IDs listed in the notice. Ration card and learner’s driving licence are not valid.

What Happens After Selection?

1. The online test is held at the allotted centre. Call letters are available 10 days before the examination.
2. Candidates shortlisted on the written test are called for viva-voce at the Kendrapara head office or another notified venue.
3. Final selection follows the aggregate rule in clause L: written test, viva-voce and experience. Clause J states the aggregate of written test and viva-voce only. Read both lines in the PDF before assuming experience carries a printed mark.
4. Originals and self-attested copies are verified at joining. Missing documents debar candidature. A serving employee without the NOC is not considered.
5. The appointee is on probation for 12 months, then confirmed in the Bank’s service if performance is satisfactory. Unsatisfactory performance gets another six months, after which the Management confirms on merit or discharges. That decision is final. A bond or notice period is not printed.

Misrepresentation or suppression can cancel candidature during recruitment, after the appointment order, or after joining.
