B.Tech Mining Engineering
Course Overview
Department of Mining
About the Department
The Department of Mining at Mewar University is actively engaged in geological exploration and mineral resource studies, particularly focused on identifying and evaluating various mineral deposits in the Chittorgarh region. The department plays an important role in supporting regional mineral development through academic study and practical exposure.
Mining Engineering is a multidisciplinary field that combines science, technology, engineering principles, and practical applications related to the extraction and processing of minerals directly from the earth. Mineral extraction is a cornerstone of modern civilization, providing essential raw materials for industries such as cement, steel, power, construction, and manufacturing.
Mewar University established the Department of Mining in 2014, initially offering Diploma courses in Mining Engineering. The department began with a student strength of 15 students in the Diploma (Second Year – III Semester) and two faculty members. As the inaugural batch was introduced, laboratory development and infrastructure establishment have been undertaken progressively.
At present, the department offers Diploma-level programs, with plans to introduce B.Tech programs in Mining Engineering in the coming years, in line with academic expansion and industry demand.
Regional Significance
Rajasthan is one of India’s most mineral-rich states, renowned for its diverse mineral deposits, including limestone, marble, gypsum, zinc, and other industrial minerals. Mining activities form a major part of the state’s economic development.
Continuous exploration efforts by the Department of Mines and Geology, particularly in the Chittorgarh district, have led to the identification of cement-grade limestone deposits, which have directly contributed to the establishment of multiple cement plants in the region. This strong regional mining ecosystem provides students with excellent exposure to real-world mining operations.
Importance of Mining Engineering
Mining Engineering contributes significantly to wealth creation, infrastructure development, and industrial growth. By enabling the responsible extraction of mineral resources, mining supports employment generation, economic stability, and the development of a strong middle class, which in turn contributes to social progress and democratic growth.
