Message from the HOD’s Desk

In this video, Mr. BM Dubey, Head of the Department of Mining Engineering, provides an overview of the department and the opportunities available for students pursuing a career in the mining sector. He explains that mining engineering is a specialized field that focuses on mineral exploration, mineral processing, and excavation activities. The department offers two academic programs: a 3-year diploma in mining engineering and a 4-year B.Tech in mining engineering. Both programs are designed to equip students with the technical knowledge and practical skills required by the mining industry.

The department is equipped with well-established laboratories, including the Ventilation Lab, Geology Lab, Surveying Lab, and Rock Mechanics Lab. These facilities provide students with valuable practical exposure and help them understand the technical aspects of mining operations. Mr. Dubey highlights the department’s team of experienced and dedicated faculty members who provide quality education and industry-oriented learning. Their guidance enables students to develop strong technical knowledge and professional skills.

To bridge the gap between classroom learning and industry requirements, the department organizes training programs in collaboration with industry partners and professional associations. Students are also sent for vocational training at renowned organizations such as Tata Steel, CCL, and other industrial establishments, where they gain hands-on experience and practical insights into mining operations.

In addition to technical training, the department offers Personality Development Programs (PDP) and other skill-development initiatives to enhance students’ communication, leadership, and employability skills. Through modern facilities, experienced faculty, practical training, and industry exposure, the Department of Mining Engineering is dedicated to preparing students for successful careers and contributing to the growth of the mining sector.
