Category-wise Vacancy Break-up

Reservation has been applied across SC, ST, OBC (Non-Creamy Layer), EWS, and Unreserved (UR) categories for every post code.

Eligibility Criteria for BPCL Non-Management Recruitment 2026

Educational Qualification

You need a Diploma from a full-time, regular course recognised by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) — plus a minimum of one year of relevant work experience or apprenticeship in the field.

A few conditions worth flagging before you apply:

• You’ll need at least 60% aggregate marks if you fall under General, EWS, or OBC (NCL); the bar is 50% for SC/ST/PwBD (Persons with Benchmark Disabilities) candidates applying against reserved seats.
• If you already hold a B.E., B.Tech, or AMIE degree, you are not eligible for these Non-Management posts — BPCL is specifically hiring diploma holders here.
• Diplomas earned through part-time, correspondence, or distance-learning modes will not be accepted.
• Your one-year post-qualification experience will be counted as on 1 July 2026.

Age Limit (as on 01.07.2026)

Application Fee

Payment has to be made online through the payment gateway on the application portal.

BPCL Non-Management Salary 2026

This is the part most candidates want to know first. Selected candidates are placed at the entry level of the NG-2 grade, with a pay scale of ₹26,500 to ₹34,000. Your starting basic pay will be ₹26,500 per month, and on top of that you get Dearness Allowance (DA) along with other allowances and benefits as per BPCL’s rules. PSU pay packages like this typically work out to a solid in-hand salary once HRA and other perks are added — figures for the exact monthly take-home will depend on your posting location and applicable allowance rates.

Selection Process

Candidates go through three stages before final appointment:

1. Computer Based Test (CBT) — 100 objective-type questions, 1 mark each, to be completed in 120 minutes. There’s no negative marking. The paper is split into Domain Knowledge (60 marks) and General Aptitude, which covers English Language, Quantitative Aptitude, Logical Reasoning, and General Awareness & Current Affairs (40 marks).
2. Skill/Proficiency Test (SPT) — Candidates who clear the CBT cut-off decided by BPCL will be called to their respective refinery for this test. It’s purely qualifying in nature, so there’s no separate merit score from this stage.
3. Pre-Employment Medical Examination — Your final appointment depends on meeting BPCL’s medical fitness standards.

💡 Pro Tip: Since Domain Knowledge carries 60 out of 100 marks, spend the bulk of your prep time revising core concepts from your diploma discipline rather than only practising general aptitude questions.
