United India Insurance Company Limited (UIICL), one of India's premier public sector general insurance enterprises, has officially extended the registration deadline for its ongoing Administrative Officer (AO) recruitment drive. Candidates aspiring to join the public sector insurance domain can now submit their completed applications online through the official portal until October 1, 2026. This recruitment cycle aims to induct a total of 225 officers across two key operational categories: 200 openings are earmarked for Administrative Officer (Generalist) roles, while 25 dedicated posts are reserved for Administrative Officer (Hindi Officer) positions, offering a vital opening for eligible graduates seeking career growth in financial services.

Essential Qualifications and Category-Wise Age Relaxations

To qualify for the Administrative Officer Generalist profile, candidates must possess a bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognized Indian university or institution. For the Administrative Officer (Hindi Officer) position, applicants must hold a recognized graduate degree with Hindi or English as a primary subject, alongside meeting mandated foundational criteria. The general age bracket requires applicants to be between 21 and 30 years of age. In line with statutory reservation norms, substantial age concessions are provided: candidates from Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) communities receive a 5-year waiver, Other Backward Classes (OBC) candidates are granted a 3-year extension, and Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) receive an upper age relaxation of up to 10 years.

Critical Examination Dates and Preliminary Test Structure

Alongside the extension of application timelines, UIICL has reaffirmed the schedule for its competitive selection rounds. The nationwide Preliminary Examination is scheduled to take place on October 22, 2026, serving as the primary screening gateway for all registered candidates. Shortlisted contenders who successfully cross the preliminary sectional and aggregate cut-offs will then advance to the Main Examination, scheduled for November 30, 2026. The computer-based preliminary screening test will comprise 100 objective questions carrying a cumulative score of 100 marks across three core sections—Reasoning Ability, English Language, and Quantitative Aptitude—with a strict composite testing duration of 60 minutes.
