How is Mining Engineering at NIT Raipur? What can I expect my starting package to be (roughly)?

In terms of placement, Mining Engineering at NIT Raipur is the best in the country. The experienced professors having good knowledge about the subject. In terms of theoretical knowledge, it is the best. But, when it comes to practicals, the institution lags.

The curriculum is outdated; most of the subjects in the course do not have any usage in the practical world. With the fast-moving technology, there is much software in mining which are important but, you will not get an opportunity to learn it at NIT Raipur. You can compare the curriculum across various institutions and find out the difference. This will only make sense after you get placed and work with students from other institutions as well. You will realize that your knowledge is restricted because of the curriculum followed at NIT Raipur.

If your main focus is money, you can join NIT Raipur as this institution provides good placement, Coal India also recruits students from here.
