Introduction: Just like another engineering branch Mining Engineering is a discipline course in engineering. This course is suitable for those engineering candidates who will learn about the techniques and technologies used for the identification and extraction of minerals from a naturally occurring environment. The course includes various aspects such as – Theoretical part, on-field training, practice, preparing and extracting minerals and more.
The programme is open for diploma holders, B.E./B.Tech degree holders, ME/ M.Tech degree holders who have a good academic record along with a good score in state-level or national level entrance exam like JEE Main for undergraduate engineering course, GATE for master's course. Students who are interested in pursuing engineering in the Mining field will get a great amount of disclosure both practically and theoretically aspects on Materials handling, Mine planning, Industrial Management, Mine health and safety, Engineering Structures, Ventilation, Minerals Processing and much more. Often the candidates of this course get numerous jobs opportunities in both the public sector and government organizations. There are several reputed companies across the world that recruits mining engineers, Damodar Valley Corporation, Bharat Forge Limited, Adani Mining Pvt.Ltd., Geological Survey of India, IPCL etc.
