Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL) has invited applications for 433 apprentice posts at iocl.com. Candidates must have passed matric and a two-year ITI course recognised by NCVT or SCVT, and be aged 18 to 24 as of August 31, 2026. SC, ST, OBC-NCL and PwBD candidates get standard age relaxations.

No written test or interview will be held. A merit list will be drawn based on the percentage of marks in the prescribed qualification, ties broken by older age then higher matric marks. Shortlisted applicants will be called for document verification at an IOCL unit.
The last date for online applications is September 6, 2026. All original mark sheets, caste certificates and residence proof must be produced at verification.
This is another batch of apprentice recruitment by a public-sector oil major, not a new permanent hiring policy. Domestic (non-corrigible) attrition and project-specific needs drive these vacancies. The automatic shortlisting on marks mirrors the pressure the government is under to fill entry-level posts without the cost or delay of written exams. Watch how many of the 433 seats go unfilled: state-run companies often struggle to find qualified candidates in smaller towns, and that ratio will signal whether vocational training output is matching industry demand. The September 6 deadline is the key date.
