About the Programme

USHA MARTIN UNIVERSITY, Ranchi, began to offer B.Tech Mining Engineering programme in 2020. It has emerged as a premier institute of learning in Jharkhand. Our nationally-accredited program is the only one of its kind in Jharkhand. It will provide you with the skills and hands-on experience needed to become part of an underground andsurface mine engineering team anywhere in the world, The Department pioneered in offering various subjects to students including rock mechanics,GIS & remote sensing, GPS,  safety engineering, environmental science and technology, industrial management, and it makes continuous efforts to absorb and disseminate new concepts.

The state of Jharkhand has been blessed by Mother Nature with rich and diverse mineral resources amounting to nearly 40% of the total national mineral reserves and 27 % of total Coal reserves available in India. (Some of the abundant minerals include Limestone, Dolomite, Manganese, Mica, China clay, Fire clay, Quartz, Feldspar, Gold, pyroxene, and Bauxite). It has maximum coal reserves. It occupies 2nd position in Iron and 3rd position in copper ore reserves. Presently, the annual production of Jharkhand is above 160 million tonne of coal & various types of minerals. In monetary terms, it is worth Rs.150 billion and generates mineral revenue to the tune of about Rs. 35 billion.

For this, graduate mining engineers need one year mine working experience and 2nd class manager’s certificate. Mining Engineers are placed in grade E2 after one year of training, graduate mining engineers can be employed by private mine owner such as TATA, RUNGTA, USHA MARTIN, SAINIK MINING etc. Mining Engineers are also being employed by Explosive manufacturer such as ICI, IDL, IEL, Nav Bharat Explosive etc . Graduate mining engineers are also being employed by equipment manufacturers like HEC, BHEL, L & T etc . Engineers who have inclination towards research can join CSIR-CIMFR (Dhanbad) or a technical Institute like IIT-ISM. Graduate mining engineers can also join DGMS & IBM through UPSC and also State service as AMO and in Jharkhand State mineral development Corporation.

Career Prospects

B.Tech in Mining Engineering (B. Tech Degree) is much more extensive and in-depth as compared to a diploma in any particular discipline of engineering. B. Tech in Mining Engineering stream is undoubtedly the most suitable and fertile degree for forging ahead in the relevant industry in India or any country abroad. Bachelor in Mining Engineering is a very interesting discipline of engineering that teaches a general engineering program followed by a core course in blasting and drilling, rock mechanics, materials handling, mine ventilation, mine health and safety, mine cost engineering, operations analysis, ore reserve analysis, mine planning and minerals processing, surveying, etc. The role of a mining engineer begins with the processing of mineral commodities, the discovery of mineral resources, controlling mining operations, designing and construction of mines, and transportation of minerals. Candidates have various career opportunities related to a career in mining from operations engineer, mine designer, mine manager, consulting engineer, health and safety manager, sales engineer, etc. Candidates may also find job offers both in private and public-sector petroleum mining companies; oil companies; mining research organizations; mining finance houses; mineral production companies and other related organizations. The candidates may also have opportunities in R&D activities as well as management, consultation, and sales. The duration, of the course, is 4 years and 3 years for Lateral Entry.
