HPCL Graduate Apprentice Trainees (Engineering) Recruitment 2026-27 | 250 Vacancies

This apprenticeship is ideal for fresh engineering graduates in Chemical, Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation, or Computer Science/IT disciplines who completed their degree on or after April 1, 2023. Candidates seeking foundational industry experience within a prestigious Government of India Enterprise and those desiring exposure to refinery operations at HPCL's Mumbai or Visakhapatnam facilities would find this role highly suitable. Preference is given to Indian nationals registered on the NATS 2.0 portal.

Candidates with one year or more of prior work experience are ineligible. This program is not suitable for individuals who have previously undergone or are currently undergoing apprenticeship training under the Apprentices Act, 1961, with any organization. Engineering graduates who completed their degree before April 1, 2023, should not apply. Individuals looking for immediate permanent employment may find the temporary, fixed-term nature of an apprenticeship a dealbreaker.

HPCL is a major Government of India Enterprise, offering a highly reputable platform for engineering graduates to gain practical experience. While the role itself is an apprenticeship, successful completion provides significant value, including relaxation and preference in future HPCL recruitments. This exposure to core operations in the oil and gas sector at a prominent PSU provides a strong foundation for long-term career growth and enhances employability within the public sector and broader industry.
