Hello,

The life of an IOCL officer or an engineer depends whether he is working in which department.

Since IOCL has several dept. so if you are working as an A grade officer then your pay will be good and you will be also leading a good life.

There are various dept. in IOCL:

• Refineries division
• Pipelines division
• Marketing division
• R&D division
• Petrochemicals division
• Exploration & production division
• Explosives & cyrogenics division

Hence life depends on which dept. are you working.

But overall you will work on different projects sometimes for industry or sometimes for the R&D dept.

Thank You!

All the Best!

Regards!

Hello,

I am afraid that you are calling Mechanical a non-manufacturing branch.

Quite strange!

IOCL and some other PSU's are only inviting apllications from Mechanical and Electrical,because they need the graduates who can work in the industrial sector as well as in the private sector.

And there are many PSU's whose main focus is only on the graduates of Civil,Electronics,Chemical engineering..etc.

So every PSU accepts the applications depending on the branch with which the graduate gives the GATE exam.

Please don't call Mechanical a non manufacturing branch.

This branch consists of:

• Acoustical Engineering
• Manufacturing Engineering
• Thermal Engineering
• Aerospace Engineering
• Computational Engineering

The role of a mechanical engineer are:

• Production Engineer
• Manufacturing Engineer
• Design Engineer
• R&D Engineer
• Site Engineer
• Project Engineer
• Simulations Engineer
• Quality Engineer

If you are an gate aspirant,then you should focus on your specific branch and first focus on the exam,then comes placement in psu's.

ThankYou!

Hope it Helps!

If any queries,feel free to ask

Regards!

Dear Sourav,

Sorry to inform you that in both IOCL or ONGC you can not apply for manufacturing engineering. As, per the given details I followed up from, and they are:

For IOCL:

For ONGC:

As the Manufacturing Engineering falls under Mechanical Engineering, so, applying for Mechanical Engineering in IOCL and ONGC excludes Manufacturing Engineering from the entrance exam of GATE. For further confirmation, you can call IOCL and ONGC helpline numbers.

Furthermore, there are many profound companies for you like:

Birla Power Solutions, CISCO, Burckhardt Compressor, and automobile industry, etc.

I hope that'll help you, Best of luck with your further career opportunities.

Dear aspirant,

Minimum marks for selection in psu iocl depends on many factors 

1)seats vacancy

2)paper difficulty level

3) Branch

So minimum marks varies from year to year 

And they evaluate you on basis of score of 100

In which 85% weightage is given to your gate score, 5% to gd and 10% to your interview and now the final scorecard is prepared.

Minimum marks for receiving any psu call is very branch specific thing and also depends on vacancy in that particular year
