About the ONGC Industrial Training Programme

ONGC invites applications from students of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and the Institute of Cost Accountants of India (ICMAI) who have passed the Intermediate examination. The training is offered under Regulation 51 of the Chartered Accountants Regulations, 1988 for CA students and Regulation 46 of the Cost and Works Accountants Regulations, 1959 for CMA students, as amended from time to time. Trainees will work in Finance and Accounts functions at ONGC work centres. ONGC is a Maharatna public sector undertaking and India’s flagship energy major, engaged in exploration and production of oil and gas in India and abroad, so a training period here carries real weight on a student’s record.

• The student must have scored a minimum of 60 percent overall in the 12th standard.

Duration of Training

• CMA trainees: 15 to 18 months

As per the notification, this period of training will be considered as 9 months, 12 months, 15 months or 18 months of industrial training under the applicable regulations of ICAI or ICMAI, as the case may be. Leave during the training will be admissible as per the rules of ICAI and ICMAI.

Category Y	Vadodara	Rs 22,000	Rs 25,000

Selected trainees have to make their own arrangements for boarding, lodging and travel. ONGC does not provide accommodation for industrial trainees, so students applying for a work centre outside their home city should factor in living costs before choosing their preferences.
