A disability marked “likely to improve” does not qualify.

Institute
Degree must be from an institute recognised by AICTE, UGC or AIU. Allied branches are accepted only with an equivalence certificate (not for Quality Assurance).

In short, your limit depends on your category: 35 for General and EWS, 38 for OBC-NCL and 40 for SC and ST. The notice lists only these limits and mentions no extra disability relaxation on top.
Not sure whether you are within the age limit?
Enter your date of birth, the cut-off date 01.10.2026 and your category to see whether you fall inside the 35, 38 or 40 year limit.
These are experienced posts. Associate Executive roles need 3 years of work after your degree, and Junior Executive (Accounts) needs 5, so freshers are out.
For the Engineering post you must be working in a managerial or supervisory role on 01.10.2026. Someone between jobs on that date does not meet the condition.
The Accounts post is for people who have passed CA or CMA Intermediate but not the Final. If you are a qualified CA or CMA, the notice says you cannot apply.
The posting can be anywhere in India, including BPCL’s joint ventures and subsidiaries. The job is transferable and may involve shift duty, so it suits only those ready to relocate.
Check the “Suitable for” table against your own disability code. The notice also says you should be able to do the listed work without help from another person.
Selection Process
Stage
Details
1. Application screening
BPCL may shortlist on years of relevant experience, qualification and uploaded documents. Which tools it uses depends on how many people apply for each post.
2. Computer Based Test (CBT)
An online objective test in English only, with aptitude questions and, for Quality Assurance, subject questions. See the exam pattern below.
3. Merit list
A category-wise and discipline-wise merit list is made from the CBT. It is read together with a scrutiny of your application and documents.
4. Discussion, Group Task or Interview
Shortlisted candidates are called for a Case Based Discussion, a Group Task, a Personal Interview, or a mix. Clearing the CBT does not by itself give a right to an interview.
5. Document verification
Done before the interview. If you cannot prove your eligibility, you are not allowed to appear.
6. Provisional selection
Based on relevant work experience, important on-the-job achievements and how you did in the selection stages
7. Medical examination
Done by BPCL’s authorised doctors before joining. Vision must be within minus 6.00 and plus 4.00. Colour blindness and squint are not accepted (this does not apply to blind and visually impaired candidates). The decision of the doctors is final.
In short: BPCL screens applications first, may hold a 100-mark online test, and then calls shortlisted candidates for a discussion, group task or interview. You may not face every stage, because the process depends on the number of applications.

Photograph or signature rejected by the upload form?
BPCL asks for a recent colour photo (not older than September 2026) and a signature scan that is not in capital letters. Resize both to the size the portal asks for before you upload.

Only if you want a scribe. Both are linked in the Important Links section.
Spell your name exactly as it appears on your certificates and marksheets. Any mismatch can end your candidature at any stage.
Check every detail before you click “Complete Registration”. No change is allowed after that, and your category cannot be changed later.
Apply only once. If you send more than one application, BPCL keeps the latest and rejects the older ones without notice.
Use an email ID and mobile number that stay valid for at least a year. BPCL sends all calls and updates by email only.
