The Coal India MT 2026 admit card link is now live. As on 22.08.2026 the official CBT-26 recruitment page on coalindia.in carries an Admit card link row, marked new, that opens the candidate login portal used for this recruitment. Alongside it Coal India has published the CBT-26 facilitation centre list covering 119 centres, a static mock test link and the scribe form — the set of notices that normally goes up just before the Computer Based Test. The download needs the user ID and password you created while applying. Coal India has not printed a separate CBT exam date on the page; the date, shift and centre are printed on the admit card itself.

CIL MT Admit Card Download 2026 – What Is Live Now
Advt 03/2026 said the admit card would be issued through the same online portal used for the application, and that is exactly what has happened. Coal India published no separate release notice and no CBT date announcement; it simply activated the Admit card link row on the CBT-26 page. Everything a candidate needs on exam day — date, shift, reporting time and centre address — is printed on the admit card itself, which is why no separate date notice exists. Treat any exam date you see on YouTube or Telegram as unverified unless it matches your own admit card.

Previous Year Cut Off Trends (CIL MT)
| Year / Discipline | General | OBC | SC | ST |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CIL MT 2023 – Electrical | ~142 | ~128 | ~108 | ~92 |
| CIL MT 2023 – Civil | ~138 | ~122 | ~104 | ~88 |
| CIL MT 2023 – Mechanical | ~135 | ~120 | ~100 | ~85 |
| CIL MT 2022 – Electrical | ~145 | ~130 | ~110 | ~94 |
These figures are approximate and based on publicly reported candidate data. Verify from official sources once the 2026 cut off is declared.
Factors That Affect the Cut Off
- Number of vacancies: With 660 posts in 2026 (one of the highest in recent cycles), cut offs may ease slightly compared to 2022
- Number of applicants: Higher applications from Electrical and Civil streams push those discipline cut offs up
- Paper difficulty: A harder Paper II generally brings overall scores down and adjusts cut offs accordingly
- Reservation norms: SC/ST candidates have lower qualifying marks (30%) and age relaxation, resulting in lower cut offs
- Discipline supply: Disciplines like Rajbhasha Hindi and Company Secretary have fewer qualified applicants, often resulting in lower cut offs despite fewer posts
