NEW DELHI. The competent authority has introduced significant amendments to the selection process for the position of Chairman at the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC). Under the newly revised framework, the selection will now be officially conducted through the Search-Cum-Selection-Committee (SCSC) route rather than the conventional method. This strategic shift in the recruitment process is designed to broaden the talent pool and streamline the appointment for the top leadership role at India’s flagship energy major.
In tandem with the procedural changes, crucial updates have been made to the required educational qualifications specified in the official job description. The criteria have now been expanded to include individuals holding a ‘Post Graduate’ degree, alongside the existing provisions for first-class graduates in Engineering, Chartered Accountancy, or Cost Accountancy, as well as graduates with a full-time MBA or PGDIM from leading institutions. To accommodate these new changes and allow eligible candidates to apply under the updated terms, the deadline for submitting applications has been extended until July 22, 2026.
