Historical Merit Trends
IOCL does not publish a fixed cut-off. Merit is prepared trade-wise in descending order of marks in the prescribed qualification, so the marks needed depend on the applicants in each trade and category.
Trade-Specific Selection Nuances
- First-timers get preference. Those who already completed an apprenticeship can apply only in a different trade, and are considered only if first-time candidates are not available.
- B.Sc holders choose one: code 101 or 103, not both.
- Code 103 (Boiler) is 24 months; codes 101 and 107 are 12 months.
- PwBD can apply only for code 107 identified seats.
- Not eligible: BE/B.Tech, MBA, CA, LLB, MCA (held or pursuing), one year or more of job experience after qualification, or five years or more since qualifying.
- Tie-break: older candidate first, then higher Matric percentage.
Who Should Apply / Who Should Not
| Should apply | Not eligible / be careful |
|---|---|
| 3-year B.Sc (Maths, Physics, Chemistry or Industrial Chemistry) or listed Instrumentation Diploma, 50% (45% SC/ST/PwBD) | B.Sc in other subjects or Diploma in other branches |
| Aged 18–24 on 30.09.2026 (plus relaxations) | One year or more of work experience after qualifying |
| First-time apprentices | Anyone expecting a permanent IOCL job |
Common Mistakes to Avoid

- Details that don’t match between Step I and Step II.
- Submitting more than one Microsoft form response or applying for more than one trade.
- Applying with distance/part-time qualifications.
