The recruitment covers disciplines of Civil (178 posts), Electrical (221 posts), Mechanical (145 posts), System or IT (43 posts), Electronics and Communication (38 posts), Geology (15 posts), Industrial Engineering (11 posts), Rajbhasha or Hindi (5 posts), and Company Secretary (4 posts).

Coal India Northeast Presence
Coal India operates North Eastern Coalfields (NEC) at Margherita, in Tinsukia district of Assam — one of India's most historic coal mining regions. Selected Management Trainees may be posted at NEC or any of Coal India's other subsidiaries across India. For candidates from Assam, a posting at NEC Margherita allows them to serve in their home region while enjoying CIL's national-level salary and benefits.
CBT Preparation Strategy
Since the selection is entirely CBT-based with no interview, the examination result is the only deciding factor. The CBT covers technical subjects of your branch (approximately 70 percent weightage), general awareness, and reasoning. For electrical engineers, focus on Electrical Machines, Power Systems, Control Systems, and Electrical Measurements. For civil engineers, emphasize Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, and Construction Management. Study from GATE preparation material as the technical depth is similar. Apply at the official CIL careers portal before 11 June 2026.
