Under Employment Notification No. 05/2026 dated 22 July 2026, NMDC Steel Limited (NSL) announced 102 Executive Trainee vacancies across ten disciplines.
NSL, demerged from NMDC Limited, operates a 3.0 MTPA integrated steel plant at Nagarnar, near Jagdalpur in Chhattisgarh's Bastar region.
The application window was 22 July to 11 August 2026. The Computer Based Test was held on 1 October 2026.
No. Candidates are shortlisted discipline-wise and category-wise based on CBT marks and recruitment requirements, generally in a 1:3 ratio.
If tied CBT marks cause the ratio to increase, all equally placed candidates in the same discipline and category are called. Merely achieving minimum qualifying marks does not guarantee shortlisting.
| Category | Minimum Marks |
|---|---|
| UR / EWS | 50 |
| OBC-NCL | 45 |
| SC / ST / PwBD | 40 |
Important: These are marks specified in the notification, not percentage cutoffs.
The NSL notification specifies the following final merit weightages:
The GD committee decides the topic in advance. Topics may be discipline-specific or general. GDs are conducted in discipline-wise and category-wise batches, with batch sizes depending on attendance.
These themes are illustrative practice suggestions, not official or confirmed NMDC Steel GD questions.
