📚 Preparation Guide — Specific to This Exam
1IOCL Apprentice selection has no written test — your Diploma, ITI, or Graduation percentage decides everything. Focus on getting your marksheets and certificates ready first.
2Apply for only ONE discipline code that matches your qualification exactly — applying for more than one gets all your applications rejected.
3Get your Aadhaar-seeded bank account, PAN card, and APAAR ID ready before applying since DBT stipend transfer depends on this.
4OBC-NCL candidates need a certificate issued after 01.09.2025 — get this ready in the correct Government of India format before document verification.
5Register on NAPS for ITI/DEO posts and NATS for Technician/Graduate posts, then don’t forget the separate Microsoft Office Form — both are mandatory.

❓ More Information You Need
Q: What is the actual stipend amount I will get per month?
The notification does not state a fixed stipend figure; it only says stipend is as per Apprentices Act 1961/Rules 1992 plus ₹2,500/month miscellaneous allowance. Typical IOCL apprentice stipends range from about ₹9,000-₹15,500/month depending on post (Graduate/Technician/Trade), so the page should state these approximate slabs instead of leaving it blank.
Q: Can I apply from outside the Northern Region states, or do I need a domicile/preference in those states?
There is no domicile restriction mentioned — candidates from anywhere in India can apply, but you must select preferred posting locations (state + 3 locations) within the 9 listed Northern Region states/UTs via the Microsoft Form, since postings will be within this region only.
Q: Is there an age relaxation upper cutoff combined with category, and what is the exact age reckoning date?
Age is calculated as on the cutoff/reckoning date of 31-08-2026. So General/UR/EWS candidates must be 18-24 years, OBC-NCL up to 27 years, and SC/ST up to 29 years as on that date; PwBD relaxations are added on top of the respective category limit.
