Associate Consultant — 15 notified Assam Work Over rig consultant positions

Read this section for the Associate Consultant designation only. The 15 Associate positions make up 75% of the advertisement, but the grade filter and 10-year Work Over/Drilling experience remain compulsory. A retired E6 applicant is not automatically entitled to Associate selection, and ONGC does not promise E6 remuneration.

1. Eligibility from actual ONGC records

The former-level and rig-experience entries are not cosmetic. They provide the employer with a traceable way to distinguish Associate Consultant applicants from retirees with a similar title but inadequate experience in the particular Work Over/Drilling function. Section I, p.1 and the biodata fields on pp.3–4 are the primary source.

2. Vacancies and remuneration are separate from contractual payout timing

• Vacancies: 15 of 20 (75% of published openings).
• Notified all-inclusive monthly remuneration: ₹66,000.
• Communication facilities: reimbursement up to ₹2,000, not a fixed additional salary guaranteed to every engaged person.
• Honorarium disbursement: 80% of the honorarium component monthly; balance 20% after assessment at end of engagement and completion of tasks. The package-to-honorarium component breakup is not provided, so an exact in-hand monthly figure cannot be derived.
• Extension: up to a second year only after first-year performance/continuing requirement; a 5% increase if extended applies to the honorarium part, not automatically to the ₹66,000 package.

The larger Associate package is ₹26,000 higher per month than Junior on the advertised all-inclusive basis, but not a promise of ₹26,000 extra take-home cash at each monthly payout date. ONGC states service-tax liability on the individual, and the engaged person does not get the usual regular-employee facilities.

3. Application is by employer biodata, not a registration portal

Email the filled prescribed form to assam_hws@ongc.co.in no later than 12 November 2026 at 16:30 IST. Enter Associate Consultant against 'Post applied for', the applicant's ONGC CPF, retirement level, Production/Drilling discipline, joining/retirement dates, age, prior work centres, exact Work Over/Drilling service periods, educational details, photograph and signed declaration as requested by the source. Use the ONGC original PDF and biodata.

The notice does not specify an application fee, a document-upload web portal, a bank challan or a separate opening time. Do not pay an unverified intermediary to 'activate' a form. The relevant date is the last receipt deadline, not a made-up online registration closing clock.

4. Associate Consultant: selection process and medical-condition checkpoint

A. Written test: ONGC will hold a written test at a designated Sivasagar office. Shortlisted applicants will receive the date and venue by email only; no official question count, marks, duration, syllabus, negative marking, or pass percentage is issued in this PDF.

B. Interview: separately stated by ONGC and likewise notified to shortlisted candidates by email. No published numerical interview weight/qualifying score or final weighted-merit formula exists in the attached notice. No TA/DA is reimbursed.

C. Fit for engagement: ONGC Medical Authority's medical fitness is a mandatory contractual condition. Selection alone does not waive medical approval, and no dated test schedule or cutoff has been published.

D. Contract: engagement initially for one year, extendable only if performance and vacancy requirement support it. The individual must sign the ONGC agreement.

For the explicit role-specific timeline see the Associate Consultant entry under Selection Process on this recruitment; for the clearly separated known and unknown exam data see the SarkariSapna Exam directory. There is no employer-issued separate syllabus, admit card, answer key or result supplied for this advertisement yet.

5. Duties you will actually be accountable for

The shared notice section VII describes the Associate Consultant consultant as a competent person, not a general office coordinator: equipment/installation inspection; direct Work Over operation supervision; machinery safe-working condition; Oil Mines Regulations, Mines Act, SOP and statutory compliance; ongoing QHSE documentation; rig deployment and worksite readiness; collaboration with the Installation Manager; accurate pipe tally, completion reports and daily activity reports to Installation Manager/DIC.

Job-fit test (editorial, not a notified interview scoring rubric): can you document a specific real Work Over assignment showing its installation/equipment hazard, mitigation/SOP, supervision decision, rig handover and formal reporting trail? ONGC's biodata asks for service periods, and the actual work responsibilities make this a more useful self-check than an invented MCQ chapter weightage.

6. Conditions that can change your decision to apply

The work pattern is 12-hour RTC shift duty and can extend to holidays/overtime without additional pay. Accommodation must be self-arranged. The consultant obtains no financial powers and no right to ONGC permanent employment. Leave accrues at one paid day per completed duty month (described as equivalent to two for this on/off nature of duty), lapses upon tenure completion and cannot be encashed. Normal termination may follow one-month notice from either side, while the employer retains its cancellation rights. If you will not be able to accept this operational responsibility or contractual payment timing, that assessment matters more than the advertisement's vacancy headline.

Primary-source references: ONGC advertisement p.1 (role grade, count, pay, common experience, age, email/test arrangements), p.2 (duties, contract, leave and honorarium), pp.3–4 (required biodata). Read official notice.

Junior Consultant — 5 notified Assam Work Over rig consultant positions

Read this section for the Junior Consultant designation only. The five Junior positions make up 25% of advertised seats.
