LIC Housing Finance Recruitment 2026 - 232 Posts - Apply now

LIC Housing Finance Limited (LIC HFL) has invited online applications for 232 Graduate Apprentice positions under Advertisement No. LICHFL Apprenticeship Program-010. Graduates in any stream, aged 20 to 25, can apply through the NATS portal until 1 November 2026, and the 12-month apprenticeship pays a monthly stipend of ₹14,150 to ₹16,650.

Who Should Apply

• Graduate Apprentice (232 positions) — graduate in any stream who finished the degree on or before 1 October 2026 and has never done, or is not doing, an apprenticeship elsewhere

This is a one-year training engagement, not a regular job. Apprentices are trainees, and the sources I checked do not mention any job offer at the end. [Check] Check the notification for what happens after training.

Vacancies by State

The state totals add up to 232. The larger city allocations include Bengaluru (13), Chennai (7), Hyderabad (7), Mumbai (4), Pune (3) and Raipur (4). Most other cities have just 1 position each. West Bengal includes Gangtok, which is in Sikkim. The city-wise list is in the official notification. [Check] Confirm it there.

Eligibility & Age Limit

You need a graduate degree in any stream from a recognised university or institute, completed by 1 October 2026. You must not have a running, terminated or completed apprenticeship contract with any other organisation. The sources do not give a minimum percentage.

Age: 20 to 25 years as on 1 October 2026. I found no age relaxation figures for reserved categories. [Check] Check the notification. You can check your exact age as on the cut-off date.

Salary & Pay Scale

This is a fixed monthly stipend, not a salary: ₹16,650 per month in metro cities and ₹14,150 per month in other cities. The apprenticeship lasts 12 months.

Important Dates

[Check] The interview date and training dates come from news reports, not from an official page I could open.

Application Fee

Payment is online and non-refundable once paid.

How to Apply

1. Register as a candidate on the National Apprenticeship Training Scheme portal, https://nats.education.gov.in/, and complete your profile.
2. Log in, search for LICHFL Apprenticeship Program-010 and apply. Note down your NATS Enrolment ID.
3. Check your email: you will get instructions from BFSI SSC.
4. Using those details, go to the exam registration portal (reported as beep.bfsissc.com), fill in your information and choose your preferred training district.

[Check] The exam registration portal belongs to BFSI SSC, not LIC HFL. Use it only if the link comes in the email from BFSI SSC after you apply on NATS. The sources give no photo or signature rules.

How Are Candidates Selected

Online Entrance Examination (100 marks, 60 minutes): 100 questions in four sections of 25 each, with 25 marks each:

• General and Financial Awareness
• General English
• Reasoning Ability and Computer Aptitude
• Quantitative Aptitude

One report says the exam is remote proctored (taken from home). [Check] The sources do not say whether there is negative marking or any sectional cut-off.

Document Verification and Personal Interview: Candidates who qualify are called for document verification and an interview.

Why This Job Matters

LIC Housing Finance Limited is one of India's largest housing finance companies and is promoted by Life Insurance Corporation of India. An apprenticeship with it gives fresh graduates a year of hands-on training in housing finance operations at one of its branches, and the programme runs across most of India, so you can choose a training district close to home.

The FreshersLike Take

Best fit: A recent graduate, aged 20 to 25, with no previous apprenticeship, who wants structured on-the-job training in housing finance and a monthly stipend, and who can pick a district close to home.

Who should think twice: This is a one-year training programme paying ₹14,150 to ₹16,650 a month, not a permanent job, and most cities have only one seat, so competition for each seat is likely to be heavy.

Practical tip: Choose your training district carefully when you register on the exam portal, because most cities have just 1 position while Bengaluru has 13 and Chennai and Hyderabad have 7 each, and finish the NATS step first, because the exam registration link only arrives by email after you apply there.

Documents Required

The sources give no document list. [Check] Confirm it in the notification. Expect to need:

• Graduation certificate and mark sheets, showing the degree was completed by 1 October 2026
• Your NATS Enrolment ID
• Proof of date of birth
• Category or disability certificate, where applicable
• A valid photo ID

What Happens After Selection

Engagement letters are expected in the third week of November 2026 and training in the fourth week, both tentative. The apprenticeship is for 12 months. [Check] The sources give no details on the apprenticeship agreement, working hours or what follows the training.

Important Links

[Check] I could not open the official LIC HFL notification PDF. The PDF links on news sites are copies hosted by those sites, so they are not listed here. Look for the notification on the LIC HFL website, https://www.lichousing.com/, or through your NATS login.
