The prescribed qualification is A full-time AICTE-approved diploma in Chemical, Mechanical or Electrical Engineering with 60% marks, plus a year of experience, and the age limit is 18 to 25 years before category relaxation is applied. The vacancies are spread across 4 distinct posts, and the category-wise split for each is set out in the vacancy table below.
Selection is made through Computer-based test, Skill and proficiency test and Pre-employment medical examination. Selected candidates are placed in the pay scale of ₹26,500 – ₹34,000 in grade NG-2, starting at ₹26,500 basic. The place of posting is BPCL Mumbai Refinery and Kochi Refinery.
The application fee is ₹590 — ₹500 plus 18% GST — plus gateway charges for General, EWS and OBC (NCL), and no fee is payable by SC, ST, PwBD and Ex-Servicemen. The entire process is completed online, from registration through to fee payment and the final printout of the confirmation page. Check the notification for whether a correction window is offered, because most fields cannot be amended once the form is submitted.
Read the official notification in full before you begin the form. Eligibility, fees and dates are revised through corrigenda more often than candidates expect, and an application submitted against the wrong criteria is rejected at document verification rather than at submission — by which point the cycle is over.
