How OIL Recruitment Works

OIL is a public sector company and recruits under its own rules. Engineer and management trainees are often shortlisted through GATE or the company's own test, followed by a group discussion or interview. Non-executive posts use a written test and, where needed, a trade test. Apprentices are taken under the Apprentices Act.

Preparing for OIL Recruitment

For engineering trainee posts, a strong GATE score is often the key to the shortlist, followed by a group discussion and interview where your core subjects and final-year project are discussed. Read about the company's business and recent projects before the interview.

Eligibility for OIL Jobs

Each OIL notification sets the qualification and age limits for its posts. Central government recruitment explains the standard age relaxations and the mistakes that get applications rejected.

Pay and Benefits at OIL

OIL pays on its own company scales. Executives are usually on industrial dearness allowance (IDA) pay scales, with allowances paid as a share of basic pay and performance-related pay that depends on the company's results. Trainees move to a regular grade after training.
