SCCL Recruitment 2019 Notification for 88,585 vacancies: REAL OR FAKE?

There are a few inconsistencies in the notification. For example, on one hand it says that the last date to apply is October 19, but it also says that the application received after October 27 will not be entertained. 

Some sentences do not make sense. Like “applications can be made either in online mode”, and then it stops. Is there an offline mode too?

Another line “after applying online, the candidate is required to take the print out of the application form OR Candidate will receive SMS and Mail Confirmation from the Department through that you can get all updated further information form the SCCLCIL” (sic). Even ignoring the grammatical inconsistencies, the sentence seems as if two-three different sentences were just stuck together, not leading to any conclusion.

The notification is dated July 25. The online application is also supposedly available since then. However the details of notice became popular today, more than 3 weeks after such a notification, with so many vacancies came out.

The most important question is the authenticity of the website: scclcil.in. Strangely, the official website of The Singareni Collieries Company Limited is scclmines.com. Also, Coal India Limited has its official website as coalindia.in. Usually the CIL recruitment come at coalindia.in, and SCCL recruitment are announced at scclmines.com. Neither is this recruitment (for 88585 vacancies) notified on either of the websites, nor is the website scclcil.in mentioned on the known official websites. 

As per wikipedia, the strength in terms of number of employees of SCCL was 55,086 in the year 2017. Considering that this notification says that 88,585 vacancies have come up (which is 60% more than the strength two years ago), if it is a true notification then it is a big opportunity for govt job seekers and also a big step for the organization. However if it is a fake notification, then providing personal details on such a website, and making online payment would not be a wise idea.
