Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) has extended the last date for online applications under Advertisement No. BPCL.HR.ER.03.NMGT.RECT for 154 Non-Management posts at its Mumbai Refinery and Kochi Refinery. The application window, which was originally scheduled to close on 13 August 2026, will now remain open until **19 August 2026 (11:59 pm)**. The fee payment deadline has been extended along with it. All other terms of the recruitment – the 154 vacancies, eligibility conditions, age limit, application fee and the three-stage selection process – remain unchanged. Candidates who have not yet applied for Process Technician (Chemical), Process Operator/Operator (Chemical), Technician/Operator (Mechanical) or Technician (Electrical) now have six additional days.
Important Note: Two things to act on. First, this extension covers both the application submission and the fee payment – if you started an application but did not complete payment before 13 August, you can still finish it, but the application is only counted as submitted once the fee is paid and the form is finally submitted. Second, nothing else has changed – the eligibility cut-off date of 01 July 2026 for age and post-qualification experience stands as originally notified, so the extension does not make anyone newly eligible on age or experience grounds. Verify the revised schedule from the Careers section of bharatpetroleum.in before you apply.
