Stage 1 — Online Application & Initial Screening
All applications submitted online at oil-india.com are screened for basic eligibility — PwBD status, domicile (Assam/Arunachal Pradesh specific districts), Employment Exchange registration, and educational qualification. Only eligible candidates are admitted to the CBT stage. Ineligible applications are rejected without further communication.
Stage 2 — Computer Based Test (CBT)
Eligible candidates receive an e-Admit Card via email/SMS. Appear for the CBT of 100 marks in 160 minutes (120 base + 40 compensatory for PwBD) at designated test centres. The test has three sections: General English & GA (20 marks), Reasoning & Mental Ability (20 marks), and Domain/Technical Knowledge (60 marks). No negative marking — attempt all questions. Qualifying mark is 40 out of 100 for all categories. Final merit list is prepared in 1:1 ratio (one candidate per vacancy) based on CBT merit within each post and PwBD category.
Stage 3 — Document Verification
Shortlisted candidates (1:1 ratio based on CBT merit) are called for Document Verification. All original certificates must be produced — Class X marksheet (for DOB proof), educational qualification certificates, ITI/Diploma certificates & marksheets, valid PwBD certificate (UDID), domicile proof, Employment Exchange registration card, category certificate (OBC-NCL/SC/ST/EWS as applicable), Aadhaar card, and any other documents as specified. Candidates whose documents do not match their application data are disqualified. All documents are also verified with the issuing authorities independently.
Stage 4 — Pre-Employment Medical Examination & Final Appointment
Candidates who clear Document Verification undergo a Pre-Employment Medical Examination (PEME) at OIL's nominated medical facility. The medical examination assesses fitness for the specific work role — including physical demands of shift-based work at remote field installations. Medically fit candidates receive appointment letters and are posted to OIL's Field Headquarters, Duliajan, Assam. The final appointment is subject to verification of all credentials and satisfactory PEME.
