Quick answer
The Coal India MT All India Free Mock Test is scheduled for Sunday, 9 August 2026. It is a full-length, no-cost online practice test for the Coal India Limited Management Trainee (CIL MT) recruitment exam under Advertisement No. 03/2026, and it replicates the official Computer Based Test: 200 objective questions in 180 minutes, split into Paper I (General Knowledge & Awareness, Reasoning, Numerical Ability, General English — 100 marks) and Paper II (Professional Knowledge — 100 marks).
Separate Paper II question sets are available for System (Computer Science / IT), Mechanical, Electrical and Civil engineering. Each attempt returns an instant scorecard, question-wise solutions, section-wise accuracy and time analysis, and an All-India rank. The test is prepared by Piyush Wairale (M.Tech, IIT Madras) and requires only a free account — there is no fee at any stage. Full paid test series are also available for the System and Mechanical disciplines, and the authoritative syllabus is published by Coal India on its official recruitment page.

Before 9 August, do three things
Register and confirm your login works. Pick your discipline so the right Paper II is assigned. Block a clear three-hour slot with a charged laptop and a stable connection — a test taken in pieces will not tell you anything useful.
Choose your paper
Paper I is identical for every candidate. Paper II changes with the discipline you applied for, so pick the one matching your post code before you begin. For the Paper II topic list in your discipline, use the official CIL syllabus.
Discipline 01
For candidates from Computer Science, IT and allied branches. Paper II is weighted towards applied computing rather than pure theory.
Attempt System mock test →Discipline 02
Built around the topics Coal India actually repeats — machinery, maintenance and thermal fundamentals — not just textbook derivations.
Attempt Mechanical mock test →Discipline 03
Covers the machines-and-power-systems core that dominates PSU electrical papers, plus mine electrical safety and statutory basics.
Attempt Electrical mock test →Discipline 04
The largest applicant pool of the four. Paper II leans on design, geotechnics and construction management — the areas that actually separate ranks.
Attempt Civil mock test →The blueprint
Selection is through one Computer Based Test with two papers. There is no interview stage — the CBT score alone decides the merit list, followed by document verification and a medical examination.
| Paper | Subjects | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paper I | General Knowledge & Awareness, Reasoning, Numerical Ability, General English | 100 | 100 |
| Paper II | Professional Knowledge of the applied discipline — System, Mechanical, Electrical, Civil and others | 100 | 100 |
| Total — 3 hours, single sitting | 200 | 200 | |
Marking
+1 per correct answer. No negative marking — so attempt every question.
Qualifying
Both papers must be cleared separately as per category-wise cut-offs.
Selection
CBT merit only. No interview. Then document verification and medical.
Pay scale
E-1 grade, ₹60,000 – ₹1,80,000 per month plus allowances.
Always cross-check the marking scheme and instructions printed on your admit card and on the official CIL notification page before the exam.
Why a mock test matters this year
Coal India published discipline-wise registration figures for Advt. 03/2026. In a no-negative-marking paper where most candidates will attempt everything, marks cluster tightly and the cut-off is decided by speed and accuracy, not by knowing rare topics.

What is included
Question palette, mark for review, section switching and a live countdown timer — laid out like the actual Coal India test console so exam day holds no surprises.
Every answer carries a worked explanation — the formula used, why the distractors fail, and the source concept — so a wrong attempt turns into a revision note.
Accuracy and average time per section, your slowest questions, and the subjects where you lost the most marks — ranked so you know what to fix first.
Your position against every other candidate who attempted the same discipline, with percentile and topper comparison — a realistic read on where you stand.
Questions framed from previous Coal India MT papers and comparable PSU CBTs, mapped topic by topic to the official syllabus with the same difficulty spread.
Save your paper with solutions as a PDF for offline revision, and keep the scorecard to track improvement across attempts.
Four steps
Sign up with your email or mobile number. No payment details are asked for at any point.
Select System (CS/IT), Mechanical, Electrical or Civil. Paper II loads accordingly; Paper I stays common.
Attempt it in one go, without pausing or looking anything up. A test taken in pieces tells you nothing useful about exam-day stamina.
Spend as long on the solutions as you did on the paper. Fix the two weakest topics before your next attempt.
Syllabus
Third-party syllabus lists drift from the notification and cost candidates time on topics that are not in the paper. Coal India publishes the authoritative discipline-wise syllabus and scheme of examination on its recruitment page — read that one, and prepare from it.

Recruitment of Management Trainee through Computer Based Test (CBT)
Official notification, scheme of examination and discipline-wise syllabus — Advt. No. 03/2026 →
Paper I is common to every discipline and covers General Knowledge & Awareness, Reasoning, Numerical Ability and General English — 100 questions for 100 marks.
Paper II is Professional Knowledge of the discipline you applied for — System, Mechanical, Electrical, Civil and the other notified disciplines — again 100 questions for 100 marks. The topic list differs by discipline and is specified in the official notification.
Our question sets are mapped to that official syllabus. If Coal India revises it, the papers are revised with it.
Always treat the notification PDF on coalindia.in as final. Where any coaching material and the official notification differ, the notification is correct.
After the free test
One mock test tells you where you stand. A series is what moves you — repeated full-length papers, sectional tests on the topics you keep losing marks on, and a rank that you can watch change over weeks rather than guess at.
Full test series
Full-length CBT papers plus sectional tests across Programming, DBMS, Operating Systems, Networks, Software Engineering and the applied IT topics Coal India favours — with Paper I aptitude sets included.
Full test series
Full-length CBT papers plus sectional tests across Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Strength of Materials, Theory of Machines, Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering — with Paper I aptitude sets included.
Electrical and Civil candidates
Attempt the free mock test on 9 August, and check the course listing for test series availability in your discipline.
| Free mock test | Full test series | |
|---|---|---|
| Papers | One full-length paper | Multiple full-length papers plus sectional and topic tests |
| Best for | Finding out where you stand right now | Closing the gap week by week before the CBT |
| Timing | Scheduled — Sunday, 9 August 2026 | Attempt any time until the exam |
| Disciplines | System, Mechanical, Electrical, Civil | System and Mechanical |
| Cost | Free | See the course page for current pricing |
Most candidates do both: sit the free paper on 9 August to get an honest baseline, then use the series to work through what it exposes.
