Vacancy Details, Eligibility and Salary

Engineering and System disciplines

Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, System and Electronics & Telecommunication posts are primarily for candidates whose degree branch matches the notified discipline. Candidates should verify the exact branch nomenclature because Coal India uses discipline-specific eligibility, not a broad all-engineering rule.

Geology, Industrial Engineering, Rajbhasha and Company Secretary

These specialist disciplines are suitable for candidates with the exact postgraduate or professional qualification route mentioned in the advertisement. Applicants should be extra careful with marks, degree mode and certificate requirements because these posts have fewer vacancies and narrower eligibility.

The recruitment includes a service agreement bond of Rs. 3 lakh for 60 months. This makes the post valuable for candidates seeking a long-term PSU officer career, but candidates who are unsure about staying with the organization should understand the bond condition before applying.
