Why B.tech-Mining Engineering

What is B.tech in Mining Engineering?

Mining engineering is a branch of engineering that deals with the science, technology, and application of obtaining and processing minerals from their natural surroundings.

  • Mining engineers oversee discovering natural deposits of minerals, petroleum, and other important natural resources, as well as designing and constructing shafts, inclines, or quarries for the safe extraction of these commodities from beneath the ground. Coal, petroleum, metallic or non-metallic minerals, and so on are examples of natural resources.
  • Mining engineers must be knowledgeable in a variety of fields. Geology, civil and mechanical engineering, metallurgy, economics, management, law, and information technology are among them.
  • Some of the activities involved in mining engineer's work include determining the feasibility of mining an ore deposit, designing the ventilation system for an underground mine, supervising the construction of conveyors at an open-pit site, and researching the development of new extraction processes.
  • This field provides complete job satisfaction, a good income, and a profitable career. In India, one may readily find work in both the public and private sectors.
