Ques. How is Mining Engineering at NIT Raipur? What can I expect my starting package to be (roughly)?

● Top Answer By Satyam Purwar on 12 Sept 23

Ans. NIT Raipur Mining Engineering is one of the best in the country. However, the prospects are very challenging so you will have to work hard to excel in this field. If you are confused about any branch, go through its strengths and weaknesses. For instance, a mining engineer gets paid handsomely but his working conditions are very challenging and may even affect his health. Generally, the placement scenario of branches like CSE, IT, and mining is very good. Last year 62 offers were made to 70 eligible students. I asked my friend for the detailed statistics and here is what he shared The maximum salary package offered was 55 LPA. The minimum salary package offered ranges between 15 LPA - 25 LPA. Around 85% of students got placed in various tech and non-tech companies. Top recruiting companies are Vedantu, Adani, JSW, and Tata Steel. About 40% of students got internships in non-core companies. Overall, the mining engineering branch is a good choice if you are genuinely interested in the field.Read more

Ques. Is it worth joining mining in NIT Raipur, which I got in 3rd round, in terms of placement?

● Top Answer By Aditya Mishra on 12 Sept 23

Ans. Given your rank of 2900, it would be very difficult to get CSE in these colleges. So you need a lot of luck during the Spot Counseling. If anyone withdraws their admission at the last moment from the CSE branch of these colleges then you might get admission. There are chances of getting a seat in MSIT or BVCoE, but it is very difficult in MAIT. Here are the recent cutoff trends of both MAIT and BVCoE MAIT Cutoff 2022 Round JEE Main IPU-CET Round 1 19671 22910 Round 2 26701 - Round 3 28594 BVCoE Cutoff 2022 Round JEE Main IPU CET Round 1 33640 36573 Round 2 41775 41775 Round 3 42573 42573 Although the chances of getting CSE are low, you might get EEE with this rank. You can upgrade your branch to CSE by working hard.Read more

Ques. What is the scope and the average salary of mining engineering at IIT Kharagpur?

● Top Answer By Anumita Chatterjee on 23 Mar 23

Ans. The scope of Mining is very limited and can be accessed only if you are truly interested in Mining and are serious about pursuing a career in the same. I suggest you pursue higher education in Mining from an elite foreign university like Colorado School of Mines, Royal School of Mines, and University of New South Wales. This will nurture your technical skills to the best. Another suggestion in this regard is that you can also go for ISM. The enthusiasm for Mining at ISM is like nowhere else. However, if you are after a good package rather than pursuing your enthusiasm, then IIT KGP is a better option. IIT KGP has an abundance of opportunities for the students academic environment is second to none. It offers extensive exposure and is thus most preferred by Engineering students of all branches. As far as recruiters are concerned, a large number of them offer jobs to students at IIT KGP mainly because of the credibility of the Institute irrespective of the branch. Also, very few companies offer core jobs in Mining. Therefore, most mining students end up with non-core jobs. Some Core Companies for Mining visiting IIT KGP are Tata Steel Coal India ltd Vedanta Resources Jindal Steel Ltd The average CTC is around 8 LPA. Read more

Ques. Should I join IIT Kharagpur mining engineering just for IIT Tag?

● Top Answer By Senjuti Gupta on 23 Mar 23

Ans. Joining a certain branch that you are not even interested in just for the IIT tag is not the most logical decision. One usually decides on a certain branch for 3 reasons; either to get a good package or to pursue your area of interest or to follow the majority. However, in the case of Mining Engineering, this is not the case at all. You won’t be available to avail either of these benefits because of its low demand. In fact you will end up with the following circumstances You will have to work extremely hard in the first year in order to get a branch change In case you are unable to get a branch change, you will start running after POR, join different clubs to work on your non Engineering abilities. During placements you will be more inclined towards Non-Core placements because of your aversion to Mining. Still, if you are adamant about getting into IIT, then join only if You want to work in analytics, consult or analyst after 4 years instead of Engineering If you want to pursue MBA from an IIM If you want to switch your field after graduation. The reason why I am suggesting you give up Engineering is that with Mining, you can literally pursue anything other than Engineering. So it’s better you make up your mind for the same or apply to other institutes.Read more

Ques. Which is better, mining in IIT Kharagpur or mechanical in IIT Patna?

● Top Answer By Admin on 20 Jun 24

Ans. First of all you need to lose this ideology that mechanical has more scope and mining has less scope. Every field has top notch research going in it and provides dynamic and challenging work opportunities. I also had the same dilemma and I chose Mining at IIT Kharagpur over other departments for to following reasons:- IIT Kharagpur is famous for its Mining branch which is one of the core branches in b.tech. IIT Kharagpur is ranked 6th in the NIRF ranking while IIT Patna is Ranked 41th . IIT Kharagpur has a Median Salary of 16 LPA while IIT Patna is at 12 LPA . IIT Kharagpur is one of the oldest institutes in India established in 1951.

● Top Answer By Manisha Batra on 16 Apr 21

Some of the professors are adopting methods to revise the significant topics again and again. It decreases the workload of students. They can easily focus the first two years on pointing out their areas of interest and later two years in achieving their targets for their desired specialization. Placement Statistics of NIT Jamshedpur: As per the past few years of placements, there are core companies that visit the campus. They are TATA Steel, Vedanta, Hindalco, TATA Power, JSW, Usha Martin, etc. In the metallurgy department, TATA Steel took only one candidate.

Ques. Which is better, mechanical in BIT DURG or mining at NIT Raipur?

● Top Answer By Richa Sharma on 15 Apr 21

Ans. The students can get better placement in NIT Raipur. One will get good opportunities and exposure in the mining branch too. Moreover, the experience at NIT is far better than BIT DURG. The curriculum followed by BIT DURG and even NIT Raipur is outdated. The institute is at least 10 years behind the current industry practice as compared to NIT Raipur. At least 30 years behind if we compare it with the US or European schools. The industry clientele had taken leaps and bounds in terms of technology and what the students study is old-era theories that have little relevance in practice now. Many industries hire graduates through campus interviews, 1st train them for 3 to 6 months to prepare the students as per industry requirements and update the knowledge. The table shows a brief overview of the institutions: Particulars NIT Raipur BIT DURG Median Salary Rs. 9.5 lakhs Rs. 6.5 lakhs Highest Salary Rs. 33 lakhs Rs. 32 lakhs Entrance Criteria JEE Mains CPET Fees Rs. 5.52 lakhs Rs. 2.92 lakhs So overall, if the students are into mechanical or mining, don't rely too much on what the book taught you, be aware of current trends and practices.Read more

Ques. What is the placement scenario of Mtech in Mining Machinery Engineering at IIT Dhanbad?

● Top Answer By Nilesha Chakraborty on 12 Oct 23

Ans. Mining Machinery is an interdisciplinary branch which combines the curriculums of Mining and Mechanical. Mining companies which require a mechanical engineer, seek candidates from this branch. Irrespective of B.Tech or M.Tech, if you have a good knowledge of your branch, you’ll get placed in a core company. The curriculum is quite interesting too. Mining and Hydraulics are very interesting topics because of their practical nature. The course burden is comparatively low, so you can simultaneously prepare for a competitive exam. Most students get placed in core companies like JSW, KCCL, Terex, Technip FMC, Normet, Thriveni Earthmovers, Dott Services and SMS Limited. The placements hugely rely on your class placement representative. He/she has to make efforts to bring in companies. Overall, the placement scenario is good for M.Tech in Mining Machinery Engineering at IIT Dhanbad.Read more

Ques. Where should I enroll, NIT Surathkal (mining engineering) or PES University (computer science)?

● Top Answer By Aditi Sinha on 11 May 22

Ans. There is no clear winner in this comparison. If you are interested in Mining Engineering and want to learn fundamental and core technicalities, then NIT Surathkal will be better. As an institute, NITK is better than other engineering colleges in Karnataka. It offers better academics, exposure, facilities, and campus life. For Mining, NIT Surtahkal placements are great. Coal India visits NITK for recruiting students. The average CTC received by the students of this bench is INR 5-6 LPA. But if you aren’t particularly interested in Mining Engineering, then you should choose CSE at PES University. In the current industry landscape, CSE offers better placements with cushy salary packages. Read more
