UCIL Recruitment 2025: How to Prepare: 5 Effective Tips
Success in the UCIL recruitment requires a strategic and focused approach, especially considering the high weightage given to professional knowledge.
Master Professional Knowledge (80 Marks): Dedicate most of your study time to the discipline-related section. Since this section accounts for 80 out of 120 marks (66.6% weightage), a strong grasp of your core subject (Mining Mate, Winding Engine, or Boiler Operations) is non-negotiable.
Focus on DGMS/Statutory Rules: Thoroughly revise all relevant DGMS (Directorate General of Mines Safety) regulations, safety protocols, and operational procedures as directly related to your statutory certificate’s syllabus. This is the foundation of your professional knowledge section.
Consistent GK/Current Affairs Practice: Although General Knowledge is only 10 marks, it’s an easy scoring section. Read daily newspapers and focus on national current affairs, economic issues in India, and basic geography/history.
Practice Speed and Accuracy: The written test is a time-bound online exam. Practice mock tests to improve your speed in the Quantitative Aptitude and Reasoning sections. Time management is crucial to ensure you don’t run out of time for the high-scoring professional section.
Maintain Document Readiness: Selection is often followed quickly by the Trade Test/Document Verification stage. Keep all original documents ready, including your educational certificates, valid DGMS/Statutory Certificates, and experience letters.
