NCL CIL Apprentices Merit List 2025

NCL CIL Apprentices Merit List 2025 is a result announcement covered on this page. The key figures are an application window closing 18 March 2025. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

Applications open on 12 March 2025 and close on 18 March 2025, giving candidates 7 days to complete the process. That is an unusually short window of 7 days — treat this as urgent and complete registration, upload and payment in a single sitting if you can.

The age limit runs from 18 to 26 years for unreserved candidates. That is an 8-year band, so candidates near either edge should confirm the exact cut-off date the notification measures age against — it is usually a fixed reference date, not the date you apply. On qualifications, the notification states: Age Relaxation Extra as per Northern Coal Field NCL Graduate & Diploma Apprentices Rules. If your degree is an equivalent under a different name, look for the equivalence clause in the official PDF before paying the fee — a form rejected for a qualification mismatch is not usually refundable.

General / OBC / EWS and SC / ST / PH are exempt from the application fee under this notification. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

Once you have your result, download and save the scorecard immediately — result portals for large recruitments are frequently taken offline weeks after publication, and the scorecard is required at document verification. Watch the same recruiting body for the next stage notice, which is usually published separately rather than as an update to the result page.
