Our Take on NCL Recruitment 2026
One of the best oppurtunities in 2026 for DGMS statutory certificate holders. Aspirants with valid mining certificates (Sirdarship) or Surveyor competency certificate, your competition level is tiny comapred to open PSU recruitments, because the required certificates filter the crowd.
The catch: if you only have 10th pass or even a mining diploma without the statutory competency certificate, you are NOT eligible, don’t waste the Rs. 1180 fee. Read the certificate requirement twice before applying.
