Till 2017, VNIT recorded good placements in its Mining department. Coal India was the major recruiter, and it offered good packages.
In the past few years, fewer core companies visit the campus. Vedanta, LnT, etc. visit and recruit few students each year. PSUs like SAIL, NTPC and NLC recruit GATE qualified students. However, they only have a few vacancies. Getting a core job isn’t guaranteed.
You can try for non-core companies (IT, Management, Trading ,etc). With some experience and proper skillset, you can increase your chances of getting selected. For this experience and skill set, you’ll need internships. But such companies are open for multiple branches, so you’ll have to put in more effort and prove your excellence.
This is the placement scenario for B.Tech Mining at VNIT Nagpur.
