💡 Expert Tip

Since this is a combined notification covering Junior Executive to CGM level positions, carefully match your qualification and experience to the exact Position Number before applying — HPCL does not allow post-submission corrections. Candidates currently working in HPCL are not eligible for lateral positions where minimum experience is sought, so verify eligibility before paying the fee. For experience-based posts, relevant work experience is counted only after completion of the qualifying degree, so internship or training periods will not count. Keep caste, EWS and PwBD certificates in the exact format and spelling as per the central list, since even a minor spelling mismatch leads to rejection at verification. Also remember, category once selected in the online form cannot be changed later, and the ₹1,180 application fee is strictly non-refundable, so double-check your category before final submission.
