Trade Apprentice Attendant Operator, Trade Apprentice Fitter & Other Posts

This apprenticeship is ideal for young Indian nationals (18-24 years, with age relaxations for reserved categories) who have recently completed their 10th, 12th, ITI, Diploma in Engineering, or B.Sc./B.Com degrees. Candidates seeking their first apprenticeship opportunity in a 'Global 500' Public Sector Undertaking, particularly those without prior work experience or extensive higher qualifications (like B.E./B.Tech, MBA, or CA), will find this highly suitable. It offers structured training in various trades and disciplines within the Haldia Refinery, providing valuable industrial exposure.

Candidates who have already completed an apprenticeship (unless in a different trade with a specific gap), have one year or more of post-qualification job experience, or hold higher professional qualifications such as B.E./B.Tech, MBA, or CA, are not eligible. Those who pursued their qualifications through part-time, correspondence, or distance education modes should also not apply. Individuals who cannot commit to the full-time, regular training schedule or whose qualifying exam results are still awaited as of June 30, 2026, will not be considered. Incomplete applications or those not following the two-step online application process (NAPS/NATS registration followed by Microsoft Form submission) will be rejected.

Indian Oil Corporation Limited, a Fortune 'Global 500' company and a prominent Government of India Undertaking, offers a highly reputable apprenticeship program. While there is no obligation for permanent employment post-apprenticeship, successful completion provides invaluable industry experience from a major PSU, significantly enhancing future career prospects in the energy sector. The training at Haldia Refinery provides exposure to complex and hazardous operations, building specialized skills and a strong foundation for a career in refining and petrochemical industries. This is a significant stepping stone for those aiming for long-term careers in public sector or large-scale industrial operations.
