Part-time, correspondence ya distance education se li gayi qualification eligible nahi hai.

Minimum age 18 saal aur maximum 24 saal. Relaxation reserved seats par: SC/ST ko 5 saal, OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) ko 3 saal, PwBD ko 10 saal (SC/ST PwBD ko 5 saal aur, OBC-NCL PwBD ko 3 saal aur). Apni exact age cut-off date par check karne ke liye Age Eligibility Checker use karo — ek din ka farq bhi form reject kara sakta hai.
Kaun Apply NAHI Kar Sakta — Ye 6 Conditions Dhyaan Se Padho
- Higher degree wale: BE/B.Tech, MBA, CA, LLB, MCA ya inke barabar ki higher professional qualification rakhne wale — ya aisi qualification pursue kar rahe ho aur joining ya document verification tak poori kar loge — to eligible nahi ho.
- Pehle apprenticeship kar chuke: Jisne pehle kabhi Apprentices Act ke under apprenticeship training li ho ya abhi le raha ho, wo eligible nahi hai.
- 1 saal ya zyada ka experience: Qualification ke baad 1 saal ya usse zyada ki training ya job experience hai to eligible nahi ho.
- 5 saal purani qualification: Cut-off date (30.11.2026) tak qualification liye 5 saal ya zyada ho gaye hon to eligible nahi ho.
- Result awaited: Qualifying exam ka result 30 November 2026 tak nahi aaya to apply mat karo — form reject hoga.
- Distance/part-time course: Part-time, correspondence ya distance mode se li gayi qualification eligible nahi hai.
PwBD Candidates — Kaun Si Trade Ke Liye Suitable Hai
Minimum 40% benchmark disability wale candidates ke liye trades is tarah suitable hain: Technician trades (Mechanical/Electrical/T&I) — Leprosy cured, Dwarfism, Acid Attack victims; Trade Apprentice (Accountant) — Hard of Hearing, Musculoskeletal (one leg/both legs), Leprosy Cured, Dwarfism, Acid Attack victims; Trade Apprentice (Assistant-HR) — Low Vision, Hard of Hearing, Musculoskeletal (one arm/one leg/both legs/one arm & one leg), Leprosy Cured, Dwarfism, Acid Attack victims; Data Entry Operator (dono) — Hard of Hearing, Musculoskeletal (one leg/both legs), Leprosy Cured, Dwarfism, Acid Attack victims. Disability certificate RPwD Rules 2017 ke Rule 18(1) aur 20 ke hisaab se Form V/VI/VII me hona chahiye.
Stipend — Kitna Milega?
Notification me stipend ki koi rakam print nahi hai — isliye koi bhi website jo “₹9,000–₹12,000” jaise pakke figures de rahi hai, wo andaze se likh rahi hai. Official notification me sirf itna likha hai: “Rate of stipend payable to apprentices per month shall be as prescribed under Apprentices Act, 1961/1973, Apprentices Rules 1992/2019 and Corporation’s guidelines.” Matlab stipend Apprentices Act aur Rules ke hisaab se monthly milega, aur uske alawa koi aur benefit nahi milega — na accommodation, na HRA, na conveyance, na medical facility. Apne rehne aur aane-jaane ka intezaam khud karna hoga. Training 12 mahine ki hai, aur ye stipend hai, salary nahi. Apne monthly budget ka andaza lagane ke liye Salary Calculator par stipend daal kar in-hand figure check kar sakte ho.
Selection Process — Bina Exam Ke, Sirf Merit
- Panel cum Merit List: Essential qualification ke marks ke percentage ke descending order me merit list banegi (saare subjects, saare saal/semester ke aggregate marks gine jayenge).
- Tie-break: Barabar marks par pehle zyada umar wale candidate ko preference; DOB bhi same ho to Matriculation (10th) me zyada percentage wala aage.
- No written test, no personal interview: Notification me saaf likha hai — koi exam nahi hoga.
- CGPA/grade wale: CGPA/OGPA ya letter grade hai to Board/University ka certificate chahiye jo equivalent percentage bataye; conversion formula na ho to har semester/year ke grade score ka aggregate ÷ total semesters/years se percentage nikala jayega. Certificate upload nahi kiya to candidature consider nahi hogi.
- Document Verification: Original documents ki jaanch joining se pehle hogi; provisionally selected candidates ki list IOCL website par publish hogi.
- Medical Fitness: IndianOil ke pre-engagement medical standard ke hisaab se medically fit hona zaroori hai; offer tabhi milega jab documents aur medical certificate dono sahi hon.
- EWS seats: Kisi trade me EWS ki seat EWS candidates se na bhare to wo UR candidates ko merit par de di jayegi.
