In Mining Engineering you will learn about the technologies and techniques used for identification and extraction of minerals from the earth.

The role of mining engineer starts from the discovery of mineral resource, processing of mineral commodities, designing and construction of mines, controlling mining operations and transportation of minerals.mining engg is for sure an better option seeing the pay scale there nowadays there are very few colleges offfering courses in mining engg.... as a result of which demand for mining engineers has increased a lot but lifestyle is very difficult

Depends on the Institute you are targeting, though I would suggest Production/Industrial Engineering above Mining Engineering at any cost.

Though there are certains Institutes like IIT ISM Dhanbad and IIT BHU, who have excellent Placements for Mining Engineering, comparable to other top departments.

As far as Production and Industrial Engineering is concerned, you should take this if you are targeting a career in Business/Analytics/Software/IT/Non Core/Finance. The curriculum is pretty relaxed out, and very well oriented and gives you time to practice and develop career specific skill sets. Do decide wisely.

Hyy,

In mining branch you do not need a good CGPA instead practical knowledge is more important for placements although certain companies may ask for a specific minimum cutoff. But placements are sure if you have a good knowledge of the mining subject. You can gain this by going to the mining fields.

I would suggest you to go for mining engineering but you should decide based on your preferences and on the subjects and career choice that you are interested in.

I hope that helps you to make a wiser decision. Rest, the success in any field depends upon your own quest to knowledge, hard work & networking skills.      All the best for your future endeavors.
