Eligibility Criteria
Applicants must satisfy all three of the following conditions:
| Training Category | Essential Qualification |
|---|---|
| CA Industrial Trainee | Passed the CA Intermediate Examination |
| CMA Industrial Trainee | Passed the CMA Intermediate Examination |
| All Candidates | Minimum 60% overall marks in Class 12 (HSC) |
Passing CA or CMA Intermediate alone is not sufficient — the Class 12 percentage requirement and the date-of-birth condition must also be met. Both Group 1 and Group 2 marksheets, including those of failed attempts, have to be uploaded with the application.
Age Limit
| Criteria | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Date of Birth | On or after 1 January 2000 |
The advertisement specifies the date-of-birth cut-off above and does not prescribe a separate numerical age limit or age-relaxation schedule. Use the date of birth recorded in the Class 10 mark sheet or certificate while filling the form.
Stipend
Selected trainees will receive a monthly stipend depending on the training location and training year:
| Location Category | Year 1 (per month) | Year 2 (per month) |
|---|---|---|
| Category X — Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata | Rs. 25,000 | Rs. 27,000 |
| Category Y — Vadodara | Rs. 22,000 | Rs. 25,000 |
The training duration is 9 to 12 months for CA candidates and 15 to 18 months for CMA candidates, so not every trainee will complete two full years or receive the Year 2 stipend. Leave is governed by ICAI or ICMAI rules; trainees must arrange their own boarding, lodging and travel.
Selection Process
- Screening of applications against the prescribed educational eligibility (CA/CMA Intermediate, Class 12 percentage, date of birth)
- Application of the stated preference criteria — ONGC wards and candidates who passed the Intermediate examination in the first attempt
- Interview, where conducted — online, offline or telephonic
- Final selection at the discretion of ONGC
The advertisement does not prescribe a written examination, minimum interview marks or detailed selection weightage. Candidates must attend any interview at their own expense.
