Documents to Carry
The notice calls candidates for “verification of documents / certificates and Personal Interaction” but does not itemise the papers to be produced. The list below is general guidance based on what the original advertisement asked candidates to upload – carry originals plus one self-attested photocopy of each.

| Printout of the submitted online application | Along with the Application / Form Number quoted in the notice |

What This Means for You
- Open the call letter login page and sign in with your Registered Email-ID, the Engagement Name/Code you applied for, and your password.
- Download the call letter and take at least two clear printouts – you will not be allowed into the Personal Interaction without a valid call letter.
- Check the shortlist notice for your Application / Form Number. If your number appears, your engagement’s reporting date and time are fixed by the schedule table above.
- Reach the HR – Talent Acquisition office, Ground Floor, ‘E’ Block, Administration Building, Rourkela Steel Plant, well before the reporting time shown on your call letter, with all original certificates.
- If you applied for Civil / Structural Design Engineer or Project Execution (Mechanical) at RSP, or for any MTI / SSO / SDTD Ranchi engagement, no action is needed yet – keep checking sailcareers.com and your registered email/SMS for the separate shortlist notice.
Note: SAIL communicates only through email, SMS and the SAIL Careers website. Downloading and printing the call letter is entirely the candidate’s own responsibility – the plant will not be responsible for a missed email or SMS.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not report without a printed call letter – SAIL has stated that shortlisted candidates will be allowed to appear in the Personal Interaction only if they possess a valid call letter.
- Do not assume a common reporting time – each engagement has its own date and slot, and the AI Engineer batch on 07.09.2026 at 9.30 AM is not the same as the F&A batch on 08.09.2026 at 2.00 PM.
- Do not search the notice for your name or roll number – candidates are listed only by Application / Form Number, so keep that number handy.
- Do not log in with the wrong engagement – the call letter page asks you to pick the exact Engagement Name/Code you applied for, and a mismatch will fail the login.
- Do not carry photocopies alone – this is a document/certificate verification round, so all original certificates, especially experience certificates covering the post-qualification experience claimed, must be produced.
- Do not treat the shortlist as final selection – it is provisional and subject to verification of documents at the Personal Interaction.
