Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not treat 02.09.2026 and 16.09.2026 as fixed — IndianOil has marked every date in this advertisement as tentative, so check the careers page rather than relying on the newspaper dates alone.
- Do not apply on the strength of the newspaper advertisement alone; the qualification, experience and age criteria are only in the detailed advertisement, and applying without meeting them wastes the application.
- Do not use any third-party website or agent claiming to submit IndianOil applications — the careers section of iocl.com is the only route stated in the advertisement.
- Do not leave experience details vague or rounded off; for an experienced-professional recruitment, dates of joining and relieving must match your service certificates exactly.
- Do not wait until 16.09.2026 to apply — a two-week window closes quickly, and last-day server load is a common reason candidates miss out.
- Do not upload a photograph or signature that fails the form’s size check without resizing it first, as a rejected upload can block the whole submission.
