WCL yet to announce exam date for 444 posts recruitment
Western Coalfields Limited (WCL) has not yet announced the Computer Based Test (CBT) date for its 2026 recruitment drive to fill 444 Statutory Supervisory Staff posts. The online application process closed on August 10, 2026, and candidates are awaiting the examination schedule and e-admit card.
The recruitment covers 220 Mining Sirdar posts and 224 Assistant Foreman (Trainee) or Electrical Supervisor posts, both in T&S Grade-C with a basic monthly pay of Rs 47,330.25. The selection process includes a 100-mark CBT, followed by document verification and a medical examination.
WCL is expected to publish the CBT schedule on its official recruitment portal, after which the admit card download link will be activated. Candidates are advised to check the WCL website regularly for updates.
Indian Opinion Analysis
With over 15,000 candidates estimated to have applied for 444 posts, the delay in announcing the CBT date creates uncertainty for job seekers who must plan leave and travel. The notification was issued on July 16, 2026, and applications closed on August 10, 2026, meaning nearly two months have passed without a test schedule. WCL has not cited any reason for the hold-up, leaving applicants checking the portal routinely. The next concrete step is the publication of the CBT date on the WCL recruitment website.
