Northern Coalfields Limited (NCL), a Miniratna subsidiary of Coal India Limited, has invited online applications for 100 training places under the Madhya Pradesh government’s Mukhyamantri Seekho-Kamao Yojana (MMSKY). The places are for ITI Electrician, ITI Fitter, ITI Welder, BA and B.Com candidates, 20 in each. The stipend is ₹8,500 a month for ITI trades and ₹10,000 a month for BA and B.Com. If you live in Madhya Pradesh and want real work experience in a coal company, read on.
Please understand one thing first. This is on-the-job training as a Student-Trainee, not a regular NCL job. You apply through the MMSKY portal between 15 November 2026 and 30 November 2026 (11:59 pm). This guide covers eligibility, stipend, selection, the two-step apply process and the conditions that can cost you the seat. Make it your trusted checklist with GovtJobsAlert.in, and see more Madhya Pradesh government jobs too.
NCL runs its training from its Singrauli headquarters and its Areas. The notice is dated 11 November 2026. The Madhya Pradesh government pays 75% of the stipend and NCL pays 25%. Selected candidates are placed in NCL Areas (the headquarters is at Singrauli), although the notice does not name the individual Areas.

| Mode of Application | Online, through the MMSKY portal only |
| Application Window | 15 November 2026 to 30 November 2026 |
Each of the five trades has 20 places. The notice gives no category-wise break-up, so there is no reservation split to read here. The total of 100 is also subject to MMSKY rules and approval by the competent authority.
| Trade / Subject | Training Places | Monthly Stipend |
|---|---|---|
| ITI Electrician | 20 | ₹8,500 |
| ITI Fitter | 20 | ₹8,500 |

| Bachelor of Arts (BA) | 20 | ₹10,000 |
| Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com) | 20 | ₹10,000 |
Choose the trade that matches your own certificate, because the notice asks you to apply for the trade or subject that matches your qualification. Apply carefully.
You must hold the minimum qualification for the trade you choose. ITI holders can look at ITI government jobs and degree holders at graduate government jobs on our site for more options.
| Trade / Subject | Minimum Qualification |
|---|---|
| ITI Electrician | ITI passed in the Electrician trade |
| ITI Fitter | ITI passed in the Fitter trade |
| ITI Welder | ITI passed in the Welder trade |
| BA | Graduation in the Arts faculty |
| B.Com | Graduation in the Commerce faculty |
Every candidate must also meet these conditions.
| Condition | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Domicile | You must be a resident of Madhya Pradesh |
| Samagra ID | You need a valid Samagra ID with e-KYC completed |
| Bank account | Your account must be linked to Aadhaar with DBT active |
| Scheme rules | You must meet all other MMSKY eligibility conditions |
The notice says only candidates who meet these conditions can apply. Fix your Samagra ID, e-KYC and bank linking before you register, because these are the easiest things to miss.
| Detail | Age Rule |
|---|---|
| Minimum age | 18 years completed |
| Maximum age | Less than 29 years |
| Age counted on | The date you report to NCL for document verification or joining |

The age is not counted on a fixed calendar date. It is checked on the day you appear at NCL for document verification or joining, and a candidate who fails the age condition on that day is not eligible. The notice states no age relaxation for any category.
These are the conditions the notice sets, so read them slowly. Missing even one of them, such as an unlinked bank account, can stop your application from going through.
The stipend is paid monthly as per MMSKY rules. It is shared between NCL and the state, and it is paid on the attendance your Area verifies.
| Trade / Subject | NCL Share (25%) | MP Govt Share (75%) |
|---|---|---|
| ITI Electrician, Fitter, Welder (₹8,500) | ₹2,125 | ₹6,375 |
| BA and B.Com (₹10,000) | ₹2,500 | ₹7,500 |
After you join your Area, your authenticated attendance is verified and sent to the HRD Department at NCL headquarters for the stipend payment. Plan your money carefully, because NCL gives no accommodation, food or transport. You must arrange all three yourself during the training.
| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Eligibility check | Applications are checked against the eligibility conditions |
| Interview or talk | Eligible candidates may be called online, by telephone or by another suitable mode |
| Document verification | Shortlisted candidates may be called to a set place for verification and joining |
| Final selection | Made by NCL as per MMSKY rules |
Final selection depends on your eligibility being verified and on the training contract being approved on the MMSKY portal by the competent authority. The dates for these steps are not given in the notice. Applying alone gives you no right to selection or training. For general preparation tips, see our preparation strategy page.
This is a two-step process. You first register on the MMSKY portal, and only then can you view and apply for the NCL places. Applications sent by any other route will not be considered.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Register on the official Mukhyamantri Seekho-Kamao Yojana portal (also in Essential Links below) |
| 2 | If you are already registered, complete and update your profile |
| 3 | Log in and open the training places published by Northern Coalfields Limited |
| 4 | Apply for the trade or subject that matches your qualification |
| 5 | Check your qualification and details carefully, then submit before the deadline |
Keep your Samagra ID, Aadhaar-linked bank details and your ITI or degree documents ready before you begin. The notice says documents are verified later but does not list them, so also read the eligibility guidance on the MMSKY portal before you apply. You are responsible for the accuracy of everything you enter. Do not wait for the last evening, because the notice itself advises you to finish early and avoid a last-minute technical problem.
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Notice date | 11 November 2026 |
| Online application starts | 15 November 2026 |
| Last date to apply | 30 November 2026 (up to 11:59 pm) |
| Interview and document verification | Not announced in the notice |
No application is accepted after the last date and time. The notice mentions no application fee. Candidates are advised to check the MMSKY portal and the NCL website regularly for fresh updates, since dates for the interview and document verification are not yet given.
| Condition | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Not a regular employee | Trainees do not get the status of regular NCL employees |
| Late application | No application is accepted after the last date and time |
| Wrong information | False or misleading details, or forged documents, can lead to cancellation and further action |
| Training start | Training begins only after formalities are done and the contract is approved on the MMSKY portal |
| Travel | No TA or DA is paid for the interview, document verification or any other selection step |
| NCL’s right | NCL may amend, withdraw or cancel any training place or the selection process |
Read this table again before you submit. Much of the notice is about what NCL does not promise: no regular job, no housing, no travel money and no guarantee of selection. The notice also says the training and attendance rules follow MMSKY and any instructions the Madhya Pradesh government issues from time to time. Treat the portal as your main source for updates, and check the NCL website regularly too.
If you live in Madhya Pradesh and hold an ITI in Electrician, Fitter or Welder, or a BA or B.Com degree, this is a good way to gain real experience in a Coal India company while earning a monthly stipend. Check your Samagra ID today and apply by 30 November 2026 on the MMSKY portal. Keep visiting GovtJobsAlert.in for more such PSU jobs.
