SAIL MT (Technical) sample questions

A few real SAIL MT (Technical) questions with answers and step-by-step solutions, in the exact style of the full mock tests.

Technical / Discipline KnowledgeSample 1

In a blast furnace, which material chiefly acts as both the fuel and the reducing agent?

  • A.Limestone
  • B.Coke
  • C.Iron ore
  • D.Silica

Solution: Coke burns to supply heat and produces carbon monoxide, which reduces iron oxide to iron; limestone is only a flux.

Quantitative AptitudeSample 2

If a steel plant increases its output from 4000 to 4600 tonnes, the percentage increase is:

  • A.12%
  • B.15%
  • C.18%
  • D.20%

Solution: Increase = 600; percentage = (600/4000) x 100 = 15%.

Reasoning & EnglishSample 3

Find the next term: 7, 12, 19, 28, 39, ?

  • A.52
  • B.50
  • C.54
  • D.51

Solution: Differences grow 5, 7, 9, 11, 13; 39 + 13 = 52.

General AwarenessSample 4

SAIL, a Maharatna company, stands for:

  • A.Steel Authority of India Limited
  • B.Steel Alliance of India Limited
  • C.State Authority of Iron Limited
  • D.Steel and Alloys of India Limited

Solution: SAIL is the Steel Authority of India Limited, one of India's largest steel producers.

About the SAIL MT (Technical) exam

A national recruitment exam that selects Management Trainees (Technical) for SAIL's integrated steel plants and units, taking in graduate engineers as Junior Managers in the E-1 grade after training.

What is the SAIL MT (Technical) exam?

SAIL Management Trainee (Technical) is the Steel Authority of India Limited's recruitment route for graduate engineers. Selected candidates join as Management Trainees, undergo structured training, and on successful completion are appointed as Junior Managers in the E-1 executive grade at SAIL's integrated steel plants — such as Bhilai, Rourkela, Bokaro, Durgapur and IISCO Burnpur — and its mines and units. As one of India's largest Maharatna steel producers under the Ministry of Steel, SAIL offers a stable, growth-oriented public-sector engineering career.

Selection has two main parts: a computer-based written test and a Group Discussion and/or Interview. The written test is an objective paper of 150 questions for 150 marks in 150 minutes, weighted towards the candidate's engineering discipline while also covering quantitative aptitude, reasoning and English, and general awareness. Because there is no negative marking, attempting every question is worthwhile, and depth in the technical section is what separates candidates.

How to clear SAIL MT (Technical)

The technical section carries the most weight, so command over your engineering branch is decisive. Revise fundamentals thoroughly and, for steel-sector context, understand iron and steel making — blast furnace, sinter/coke, basic oxygen and electric-arc steelmaking, continuous casting, rolling and metallurgy of ferrous alloys. Cross-branch engineering fundamentals in mechanics, thermodynamics, electrical basics and materials also feature.

Quantitative aptitude and reasoning are the most scoreable non-technical sections — drill percentage, ratio, averages, time-and-work, interest, series, coding-decoding and blood relations until they are fast. Keep English accurate with grammar and vocabulary practice, and build general awareness around the steel sector, SAIL and national affairs. Since there is no negative marking, attempt everything, and take full timed mocks to manage the 150-minute paper and prepare for the Group Discussion and Interview that follow.

The SAIL Management Trainee (Technical) written test is an objective, computer-based paper of 150 questions carrying 150 marks, to be attempted in 150 minutes. Each correct answer earns 1 mark and there is no negative marking, so unanswered questions and wrong answers both score zero. The paper is weighted towards discipline / technical knowledge for the candidate's engineering branch, alongside sections on quantitative aptitude, reasoning and English, and general awareness that includes the steel sector and SAIL. Candidates who clear the written test are shortlisted for a Group Discussion and/or Interview; final selection is based on combined performance. On ExamguruX, each question is scored +1 with no penalty, mirroring the real marking, and every question has a worked solution.

Duration: 150 minutes.

How to prepare for SAIL MT (Technical)

A proven, focused SAIL MT (Technical) preparation method — from building strong fundamentals to peaking with full-length mocks.

  1. 1

    Master your technical discipline

    The technical section carries the highest weight. Revise your branch fundamentals deeply and connect them to steel-plant processes — iron making, steel making, casting, rolling and metallurgy.

  2. 2

    Learn the steel-sector context

    Understand blast furnace and BOF/EAF routes, integrated plants like Bhilai, Rourkela and Bokaro, and ferrous alloys. This context helps in both the technical and general-awareness sections.

  3. 3

    Score on aptitude and reasoning

    Quantitative aptitude and reasoning are quick, reliable marks. Drill percentage, ratio, averages, time-work, interest, series, coding-decoding and blood relations until they are automatic.

  4. 4

    Keep English accurate

    Practise grammar, error spotting, synonyms/antonyms and sentence improvement for quick, accurate marks in the English portion.

  5. 5

    Attempt everything — no negative marking

    With +1 per correct answer and no penalty, leave no question blank. Make an educated attempt even when unsure.

  6. 6

    Prepare for GD and Interview

    The written test is only the first stage. Practise structured group discussion and be ready to discuss your discipline, SAIL and current steel-sector topics in the interview.

SAIL MT scoring & selection

The SAIL MT (Technical) written test carries 150 marks with +1 for each correct answer and no negative marking, to be attempted in 150 minutes. Candidates who clear the written test are shortlisted for a Group Discussion and/or Interview, after which final merit is drawn up. The bands below are indicative — real cutoffs shift each year with vacancies and paper difficulty.
