BCPL Recruitment 2026 Notification: 24 Vacancies for ITI, Diploma and Degree Holders
Brahmaputra Cracker and Polymer Limited (BCPL), a Government of India enterprise, has released Advt. No. BCPL-NE/06/2026 for 24 non-executive posts. What makes this notification worth your time is how wide it is open: an ITI holder, a diploma holder and a B.Sc. or B.Com. graduate each have posts of their own here. Pay runs up to ₹28,500 – ₹86,570 in Grade S-5, and a permanent job in a central PSU carries allowances that most jobs at this qualification level simply do not offer.
The online application window opens on 10 September 2026 and closes on 9 October 2026 at 17:00 hours. Every post here asks for post-qualification experience except the three PwBD-reserved Trainee posts, so read your own row carefully before you pay the fee. This guide from GovtJobsAlert.in walks you through the vacancy split, eligibility, pay, selection process and the conditions that quietly reject candidates every year.
BCPL Non-Executive Recruitment 2026 Key Highlights: 24 Posts in a Central PSU
BCPL runs India’s gas cracker project in the North-East and hires its non-executive workforce directly through open advertisements like this one. This is a regular company appointment with one year of probation, not a contract engagement, and the three Trainee posts are set aside entirely for Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD).
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Organisation | Brahmaputra Cracker and Polymer Limited (BCPL) |
| Advertisement Number | BCPL-NE/06/2026 |
| Total Vacancies | 24 |
| Grades | S-5 and S-3 |
| Pay Scale | ₹28,500 – ₹86,570 (S-5), ₹25,000 – ₹81,430 (S-3) |
| Job Location | North-East region (exact posting not stated in the notification) |
| Application Window | 10 September 2026 to 9 October 2026 |
What are the Post-Wise Vacancy Details for BCPL Recruitment 2026?
The reservation split changes from post to post, so check the row for the post you want rather than the headline figure. Most posts here carry Unreserved seats only, which means a reserved-category candidate applying there will be judged on general merit.
| Post (Grade) | Category-wise Vacancies | Seats |
|---|---|---|
| Foreman (Chemical) — S-5 | UR 3 | 3 |
| Foreman (Civil) — S-5 | UR 1 | 1 |
| Junior Superintendent (HR) — S-5 | UR 1 | 1 |
| Foreman (Instrumentation) — S-5 | UR 1 | 1 |
| Operator (Chemical) — S-3 | UR 5 / OBC 2 / SC 1 | 8 |
| Technician (Electrical) — S-3 | UR 3 | 3 |
| Technician (Instrumentation) — S-3 | UR 1 / OBC 1 | 2 |
| Technician (Mechanical) — S-3 | UR 1 / OBC 1 | 2 |
| Regular posts combined | UR 16 / OBC 4 / SC 1 | 21 |
Notice that not one post in this table carries an ST seat, and only Operator (Chemical) has an SC seat. The three Trainee posts below are counted separately and are reserved for PwBD candidates only — their names look like the regular posts, but they are different posts with different terms.
| PwBD Trainee Post (Grade) | Reserved PwBD Category | Seats |
|---|---|---|
| Operator (Chemical) Trainee — S-3 | PwBD Cat. B — UR: D, HH | 1 |
| Technician (Mechanical) Trainee — S-3 | PwBD Cat. D & E — UR: ASD(M), ID, SLD, MI, Combination B to D | 1 |
| Accounts Assistant Trainee — S-3 | PwBD Cat. A — UR: B, LV | 1 |
| How the Trainee posts differ | Detail |
|---|---|
| Experience | No post-qualification experience is required for any of the three Trainee posts |
| Pay | A stipend of ₹21,000 per month during a traineeship of at least one year, instead of a running pay scale |
| Who can apply | PwBD candidates only, with not less than 40% of the relevant disability |
| Certificate | Disability certificate in the format prescribed by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment |
Because you get only one shot at this advertisement, choose your post on eligibility rather than on guessed competition. If you qualify for both Technician (Instrumentation) and Technician (Mechanical), pick the one where your experience certificate is cleanest — that is what verification actually tests.
What is the Eligibility for BCPL Recruitment 2026 (ITI, Diploma, B.Sc and B.Com)?
Qualification and experience are fixed post by post, and both must be complete as on the cut-off date of 9 October 2026. Experience counts only from after you passed the course, never from before it.
| Post | Minimum Essential Qualification and Experience |
|---|---|
| Foreman (Chemical) | Diploma in Engineering in Chemical, Petrochemical, Chemical Technology or Petrochemical Technology with minimum 55% marks + 2 years post-qualification experience in line |
| Foreman (Civil) | Diploma in Engineering in Civil with minimum 55% marks + 2 years post-qualification experience in line |
| Foreman (Instrumentation) | Diploma in Engineering in Instrumentation, Instrumentation & Control, Electronics & Instrumentation, Electrical & Instrumentation, Electronics or Electrical & Electronics with minimum 55% marks + 2 years experience in line |
| Junior Superintendent (HR) | Bachelor’s degree with a Diploma in Personnel Management or Industrial Relations, minimum 50% marks in each, proficient in operating a personal computer + 2 years experience in line |
| Operator (Chemical) | B.Sc. with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics with minimum 50% marks, or B.Sc. (Honours) in Chemistry with minimum 50% marks + 1 year experience in line |
| Technician (Electrical) | Matric + ITI Tradesmanship or National Apprenticeship Certificate in Electrical or Wireman trade + 2 years experience in line |
| Technician (Instrumentation) | Matric + ITI Tradesmanship or National Apprenticeship Certificate in Instrumentation trade + 2 years experience in line |
| Technician (Mechanical) | Matric + ITI Tradesmanship or National Apprenticeship Certificate in Fitter, Diesel Mechanic, Machinist or Turner trade + 2 years experience in line |
| Operator (Chemical) Trainee (PwBD) | Same B.Sc. qualification as the regular Operator post — no experience required |
| Technician (Mechanical) Trainee (PwBD) | Same Matric with ITI or NAC trades as the regular Technician post — no experience required |
| Accounts Assistant Trainee (PwBD) | B.Com. with minimum 50% marks and typing speed of 40 w.p.m. in English on computer, proficient in operating a personal computer |
If you hold an ITI trade certificate or a polytechnic diploma, the rules below decide whether your certificate and your work years will actually be accepted. They are the quiet reason many technically eligible candidates get rejected at verification.
| Qualification rule | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Recognised institutions | Degrees must be from a UGC-recognised university or an AICTE-approved institution; diplomas must be recognised by the State Board of Technical Education; ITI or NAC must be recognised by SCTVT or NCTVT |
| Mode of study | Full-time, part-time and Open and Distance Learning courses approved by AICTE and UGC are all accepted |
| Grade point marksheets | Convert CGPA or OGPA to a percentage as per your institute’s norms and carry the conversion certificate to the selection process |
| Apprentice training | Industrial, vocational or apprentice training done as part of your course under the Apprentices Act, 1961 will not be counted as work experience for any post |
| Serving Government or PSU staff | You must have at least one year of experience in the next lower pay scale or an equivalent scale |
One phrase in the table above is worth understanding properly: experience in line means experience in the same line of work as the post you are applying for. A Fitter’s years count towards Technician (Mechanical), not towards a desk role. Ask your employer to spell out your roles and responsibilities on the certificate, because a bare relieving letter is exactly what fails at verification.
What is the Age Limit for BCPL Recruitment 2026?
| Post Grade | Upper Age Limit |
|---|---|
| S-5 posts (Foreman, Junior Superintendent) | 32 years |
| S-3 posts (Operator, Technician, all Trainees) | 30 years |
Age is counted as on 9 October 2026, and the limits above are for unreserved vacancies. The notification does not prescribe any minimum age.
| Category | Relaxation in Upper Age |
|---|---|
| SC / ST | 5 years |
| OBC (NCL) | 3 years |
| PwBD — General / EWS | 10 years |
| PwBD — OBC (NCL) | 13 years |
| PwBD — SC / ST | 15 years |
| Domiciled in J&K between 01.01.1980 and 31.12.1989 | 5 years |
| Ex-servicemen with 6 months or more of service | Service period deducted from actual age; the resulting age must not exceed the limit by more than 3 years |

The four rules below are the ones that decide whether that relaxation table applies to you at all. Read them before you assume your category gives you extra years here.
| Age and marks rule | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Reserved category on a UR post | SC, ST and OBC (NCL) relaxation applies only to posts reserved for those categories. Applying against a UR post, you are considered under the general standard of merit with no age relaxation and no relaxation in the qualifying percentage |
| PwBD candidates | Age relaxation applies whether or not the post is reserved, provided the post is identified as suitable for your PwBD category |
| Absolute ceiling | The maximum age of an applicant shall not exceed 56 years including all possible relaxations |
| Marks relaxation | Where 60%, 55% or 50% is asked, SC, ST and PwBD candidates need 55%, 50% and 45% instead — subject to the reserved vacancies being available |
BCPL Medical Fitness and Eye Power Standards 2026
| Standard | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Medical fitness | Appointment is subject to being medically fit to company standards; reports come from a Central or State Government hospital, a BCPL-authorised hospital or a Civil Surgeon, and the company Medical Officer’s opinion is final |
| Eye power — technical posts | In respect of technical officers, total myopia including the cylinder must not exceed (-)4.00D, and the total amount of hypermetropia including the cylinder must not exceed (+)4.00D in each eye |
| Eye power — non-technical posts | In respect of non-technical officers, total myopia must not exceed (-)8.00D, and the total amount of hypermetropia must not exceed (+)6.00D for candidates above 20 years |
What is the Salary for BCPL Recruitment 2026? Pay Scale and North-East Allowance
Pay follows the IDA pattern used across central public sector companies. The scales are open-ended, so your basic pay keeps rising with annual increments rather than stopping at a fixed figure.
| Grade and Posts | Monthly Pay |
|---|---|
| S-5 — Foreman posts and Junior Superintendent (HR) | ₹28,500 – ₹86,570 |
| S-3 — Operator and Technician posts | ₹25,000 – ₹81,430 |
| S-3 — PwBD Trainee posts | Stipend of ₹21,000 per month |
Selected candidates serve one year of probation and draw the initial basic pay of their scale. Basic pay is only the starting point — the allowances below are what lift the actual monthly amount.
| Allowance or Benefit | Detail |
|---|---|
| Industrial Dearness Allowance | Paid at the applicable rates |
| Perquisites | 35% of basic pay |
| North-East allowance | 10% of basic pay if you are posted in the North-East region |
| Other benefits | HRA, Conveyance Maintenance Expenses Reimbursement, medical facility, Post Retirement Medical Scheme and Defined Contribution Pension Scheme, as per company rules |
For an ITI or diploma holder, this package sits well ahead of most entry-level technical jobs, and the pension and post-retirement medical cover are the parts private-sector offers rarely match.
What is the Selection Process for BCPL Recruitment 2026?
| Stage | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Screening | Done purely on the details you fill in the online application form, so accuracy matters more than anything else |
| Shortlisting | If the number of applications is large, BCPL raises the minimum eligibility standards to cut the list to a reasonable number |
| Skill Test, Proficiency Test, Endurance Test or Written Test | Held in a single stage or in multiple stages, and communicated well before the process starts |
| Document verification | Originals plus one self-attested photocopy set produced at the further selection process |
| Medical examination | Fitness and eye-power standards checked before appointment |
The notification says in plain words that this selection process is tentative and may vary with the company’s administrative or business requirements or with Government of India directives. Treat the table as the position today, and keep checking the official website, because every revision, corrigendum or time extension is posted there and nowhere else. Remember too that holding the minimum qualification and experience does not by itself entitle you to be called — BCPL’s decision on that is final. If you are preparing for other graduate-level government jobs at the same time, keep your document set ready in parallel.
Which Conditions Can Reject Your BCPL Non-Executive Application 2026?
These are the lines candidates skim past, and each one has ended somebody’s candidature.

|---|---|
| One post only | You can apply for one post only. If you submit more than one application, only the one submitted on the later date will be considered, and no further correspondence is entertained |
| Provisional candidature | Your candidature stays provisional — eligibility is verified only at the further selection process, and an admit card is not acceptance of your candidature |
| False information | Furnishing wrong or false information is a reason for disqualification and the candidature will be summarily rejected; if it is detected after appointment, your services will be terminated |
| Rejection at any stage | Candidature is liable to be rejected at any stage of the recruitment process, or even on joining or after joining, if any information is found false or you cannot produce valid proof |

| Certificate format | If you cannot produce the SC, ST or PwBD certificate in the prescribed Government of India format, your candidature is considered without any relaxation for that category |
| OBC (NCL) certificate | It should preferably be issued within one year; if it is not produced in the prescribed format, your candidature will not be considered against that category |
| Category is final | The category filled in the online form cannot be changed later, and no benefit of another category will be allowed |

Try to finish the application in the first three weeks. The portal does stay open until 9 October, but the closing days are when payment gateways slow down, and a transaction that fails after 17:00 hours cannot be redone.
