An interview may be conducted online, offline or telephonically. Candidates must bear their own interview expenses. Final selection rests with ONGC.

How to Apply

Applications must be submitted through the Google Form provided in the official advertisement. The form requires personal details, CA/CMA Intermediate examination details including Group 1 and Group 2 results, and uploads of a recent photograph (JPG) and several PDF documents: Class 10 certificate or marksheet as date-of-birth proof, Aadhaar card, Class 12 marksheet, and separate PDFs for CA/CMA Intermediate Group 1 and Group 2 marksheets, including failed attempts. Caste, disability or ONGC employee-related supporting documents must be uploaded where applicable. All documents must be self-attested and named according to the prescribed format, beginning with the candidate's full name as recorded in the Class 10 certificate.

Important Points to Remember

This is an industrial training opportunity, not a permanent job. Candidates must arrange their own boarding, lodging and travel. Leave will be governed by ICAI or ICMAI rules. The stipend table shows Year 1 and Year 2 rates, but not every trainee will complete two full years or receive the Year 2 stipend. Applicants should read the official advertisement carefully before submitting the form.
