Indian Oil invites online forms for 335 apprentice openings

Indian Oil Corporation Limited has opened an online registration drive to fill 335 apprentice positions across its units. Eligible people can submit their forms through the official website at iocl.com. The registration window opened on October 5 and closes on November 4, 2026. Interested individuals must register on the NAPS or NATS portal before applying against the notification. Selection does not involve any written test or interview. Instead, officials will prepare a merit list based on the marks secured in the essential prescribed qualification for the respective post. Shortlisted individuals will be called for document verification at a unit or office decided by the management. Candidates must also complete a pre-engagement medical fitness test to prove they are suitable for the training. Those whose documents and medical fitness certificates are found in order will receive an offer of engagement for apprenticeship training.
