What is Mining Engineering:

We all have heard about mining engineering somewhere, somehow etc. Mining Engineering is a process that involves science and technology in extracting and minerals from natural environments. It makes seem easy but it is not as easy, One must have the following skills to make a career in the field of mining engineering.

Confidence
Problem-solving and analytical skills
Organisation and efficiency
Independence
Strong technical skills
Teamworking skills
Managerial and interpersonal skills
IT skills etc

There are many types of career options available in this field. One can pursue a career in this field rights after the completion of class 12th with science. One can pursue B.tech or BE in Mining Engineering Stream from any reputed college. let’s see the required eligibility to make a career in th field of mining engineering.

Mining Engineering Course Eligibility Criteria:

In order to pursue Mining Engineering, One must have the following criteria to pursue this course from any reputed government, Semi-government or private college. Here are the following criteria:

One must have passed class 12th with Science (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics).
One must have scored at least 50% marks. Well, the marks criteria are not required by every college. It depends on the college. To get admission in the reputed colleges, Marks criteria may be there.
To get admission in Bachelor’s degree program, One may need to clear State Level Entrance Exam or national level Examination.
Most of the colleges enrol the candidates on the basis of the marks scored in the entrance exams (State Exam or National level Entrance Exam).

One has also the option of pursuing a diploma in the respected field. In order to pursue a diploma in this field. One must have passed class 10th from any government recognized board. The diploma is also better to get initial level jobs in the field and it can be a quick career starting option. As the bachelor’s degree program takes time but it will land you a better job and will give you a better growth. A career is better after a diploma as well as a bachelor’s degree. There are many specialization’s courses that one can do after the diploma certificate that helps in career growth. Now let’s see the complete details about the admission process in the mining Engineering courses.

Admission Process in Mining Engineering Course:

The admission process of each colleges are the different. In order to get admission in the reputed colleges, One will have to clear the entrance exam, the entrance exam can be state level exam or national level exam or even entrance exam conducted by the Institute Indivisually.

The entrance criteria is not same for all. There are some private college that may not demand entrance exam for the admission they enrol the candidates through the Interview, Oral Examination or on the basis of the marks scored in the last qualifying examination. But, To get admission in the reputed colleges, It is mandatory to clear the entrance exam. I have mentioned some details about the State Level and National level entrance exam in the eligibility criteria section above.

To get admission in the diploma courses, It can be easily done on the basis of the marks scored in the cass 10th board examination. To get admission in the reputed colleges, It may be required to clear the entrance examination. The competition is too much for the reputed colleges, that is why entrance exam is only way to shortlist the candidates for the admission.
