How are the placements of mining in NIT Rourkela?

My brother did his B.Tech in Mining Engineering from NIT Rourkela. Here is a list of companies that recruit NIT Rourkela students from this branch-

1. Tata Steel- It is the best company for Mining graduates. Work culture at Tata Steel is better than the other companies visiting NIT R for placements. The hand salary offered at Tata Steel is 60-70k.
2. Coal India Ltd.- Work culture over there depends upon how you wish to shape your future. The in hand salary for employees posted in UG mines is 45-46k, in OC mines are 42-43k, and in Headquarters is 40-41k. In a Government of India-regulated firm like Coal India, there is a specific pay scale based on seniority. Coal India Ltd. makes campus recruitments at E2 grade with a basic pay of 20k+ for every employee, from Mining, Finance, Personnel and Excavation. The difference in the salaries of UG, OC and Headquarters employees is because of the additional UG and Coalfield allowance granted to the UG and OC employees.

Also, a certain amount gets deducted from your salary every month because of a 5 year bond. You will get the money after completing 5 years with the firm.

1. Hindustan Zinc Ltd. (Vedanta)- The work culture at this company is not good. For like 8 hours each day, you will hear words like production, development, availability and utilization. In hand salary is around 52k + incentives.
2. Hindalco- The in-hand salary is around 32-33k.

Another firm that recruits Mining students from NIT Rourkela is Lafarge. Overall, the placements for Mining at NIT Rourkela are quite decent.
