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.
