What UIIC Assistant is
UIIC Assistant recruits graduates into the Class III Assistant cadre of United India Insurance Co. Ltd., the entry level clerical and customer-facing role at this South India-focused public sector general insurer, headquartered in Chennai. The most recently confirmed recruitment cycle for this post ran in December 2023, so check the official website directly for whether a newer notification has since been released before assuming the details below still apply verbatim.
Who can apply
A bachelor’s degree in any discipline from a recognised university is the general requirement. Reading, writing and speaking proficiency in the regional language of the state or union territory you apply for is mandatory and tested separately. The general age band is roughly 21 to 30 years, with standard relaxations for reserved categories. Confirm the exact age cutoff and its “as on” date against the current notification, since these vary by cycle.
How the exam runs
The exam follows the two-stage pattern common to public sector general insurer Assistant recruitment: a one hour Preliminary Examination of one hundred questions across English Language, Reasoning Ability and Numerical Ability, followed by a Main Examination covering Reasoning Ability, English Language, Numerical Ability, General Awareness and Computer Knowledge. There is no interview stage: candidates who clear the Main Examination proceed to a qualifying Regional Language Test. Exact question counts, marks and timing should be confirmed against the current notification, since UIIC’s own published figures for its most recent cycle were not independently confirmed at the time this page was written.
Preparing the application
Photograph and signature specifications match the rest of the banking and insurance exam family: a JPEG photograph between 20 and 50 kilobytes and a JPEG signature between 10 and 20 kilobytes. The resizers on this site handle both in your browser without uploading anything.
The application fee should be confirmed against the current notification; a reliable figure specific to this exam’s most recent cycle was not available at the time this page was written.
On exam day
Arrive at least an hour before the reporting time on your admit card, with the printed e-admit card, a government photo identification, one recent passport size photograph and a black or blue ballpoint pen. No electronic devices are permitted inside the hall.
What the job actually involves
A UIIC Assistant handles policy servicing, premium accounting, data entry, customer assistance and agency support at a branch office. An internal promotion exam is the usual route from Assistant into the Administrative Officer cadre. A Public Sector General Insurance Company-wide wage revision was centrally approved in January 2026; the sibling exam at NICL Assistant already reflects a revised pay scale, so a similar revision may eventually reach UIIC’s own Assistant notification.
