Mining Engineering

Here are a few advantages of pursuing Mining Engineering courses in India:
• The Indian mining industry is all set to experience growth in the coming years, with around 7-8% of growth, which will generate demand for qualified and talented Mining Engineering graduates like you.
• You can work in various roles like mine planning, excavation, safety, blasting, ventilation, mineral processing, and environmental management.
• You can find earning opportunities in both public and private sectors, such as government agencies as well as private companies.

You can pursue Mining Engineering to contribute to the extraction of raw materials such as ores and minerals which act as backbone for the various types of industries in our country. They also ensure that the minerals are extracted in a sustainable manner that doesn't cause further harm to the environment.

These minerals are present in the everyday products we use after going through the process of mining which gives them such shape and form. Mining Engineering courses also provide great opportunities to earn high salaries, especially in the Public Sector Units which are engaged in the field of mining.

Mining Engineering is a branch of engineering which deals with the extraction of minerals from the Earth's lithosphere. To establish a career in the field of Mining Engineering, you must complete BTech in Mining Engineering or M.Tech in Mining Engineering. Mine designers, planners, and operators also create and implement new mining technologies. They also work to protect the environment and the safety of mine workers.

In this course, you'll gain a deeper understandings of the fundamental principles of geology, honing your skills in uncovering the hidden secrets within rocks and minerals.

Yes, some colleges in Kerala offer BTech in Mining Technology. These are: 

• ILM College of Engineering & Technology
• Jawaharlal College of Engineering & Technology
• Mount Zion College of Engineering
• Rajadhani Institute of Engineering & Technology 

But all of these are private colleges. There are no government colleges in Kerala offering BTech in the required specialisations.

Pass one of the following subjects: Chemistry, Biotechnology, Biology, Technical Vocational, Computer Science, Information Technology, Informatics Practices, Agriculture, Engineering Graphics, and Business Studies Ontain at least 45% marks in the above subjects combined If you belong to a reserved category, you must obtain at least 40% marks in the above subjects combined 

Hey,

Mining Engineers can earn decent salary depending on the job level, job position, experience as well as location of the company.
