Listen to the story

Coal India has released the answer key for its Management Trainee (MT) exam 2026. The exam offered 660 posts and attracted around 1.29 lakh candidates.

The answer key lists the correct answers for each question in the exam. Candidates can now compare their own answers with the official ones.

Along with the answer key, Coal India has also published the response sheet. This document shows the exact answers each candidate selected during the exam.

Both the answer key and the response sheet are available as a downloadable PDF on the official Coal India recruitment website. Candidates need their login details to access them.

Coal India has also opened a link to raise objections. If a candidate believes an answer in the key is incorrect, they can formally challenge it through this link, usually within a set time limit.

After the objection window closes, Coal India's team will review all challenges. They will then release a final answer key, which will be used to calculate final scores.

This process is a standard part of large recruitment exams in India, giving candidates a chance to question mistakes before results are announced.
