B.Tech. in Mining

COURSE DESCRIPTION

---

B.Tech. Mining Engineering or Bachelor of Technology in Mining Engineering is an undergraduate Mining Engineering course. Mining engineering is an engineering discipline that involves the practice, the theory, the science, the technology, and application of extracting and processing minerals from a naturally occurring environment. Mining engineering also includes processing minerals for additional value. Right from the Indian Independence, the Indian Public Sector’s mining, mineral, metal and coal industry has been playing an important role in the development and sustenance of the economy of the nation. B.Tech. (Mining Engineering) is four years degree course but may be less or more than this from place to place. The course is very valuable since the old time as mining in India is done on large scale; therefore, it opens a lot of job scopes for the candidates. The course is being provided by the institutes on large scale in the country.

How is B.Tech. Mining Engineering Course Beneficial?

• Mining is a crucial part in every economy and with the present shortage of important minerals like coal and petroleum all over the world, the demand for mining industry is bound to improve rather than decline. Therefore, mining industry is striving to improve their production for which they are always in need for human resource base.
• Government mining sector is already facing a shortage of skilled workforce and the industry is taking all steps to develop its operations thereby their need for skilled workforce is further improved. Therefore, government-mining sector has a bright future both in terms of technology and in terms of employment.
• In addition to technical position in government mining sector, there are also opportunities for candidates belonging to other faculties of education like accountancy, corporate secretary and management, etc.
