How is mining engineering at NIT Raipur? Is it worth joining?

I am a student of Mining at NIT Raipur. Based on my experiences, I will share some pros and cons of this branch at my college-

Cons-

1. The curriculum is outdated.
2. The faculty for mining isn’t good, barring very few teachers. You’ll have to rely solely on self study. Also, textbooks aren’t available for most subjects, so you’ll have to study from the ppts/pdfs provided by teachers.
3. Campus placement is very low in core jobs.
4. The college has poor infrastructure. It has poor sports facilities, and limited accommodation in hostels and the college auditorium.
5.  Most mining students don’t have any interest in their branch. Their aim is to crack the CAT/UPSC exam.

Pros-

1. Getting up to 40-50% marks in end semester exams isn’t really difficult. It can be achieved by studying for just 2 days before each exam.
2. You’ll get ample time to participate in college fest, and to explore your interests.

B.Tech Mining Engineering from NIT Raipur is the right choice if you wish to graduate with minimal efforts. Otherwise, I won’t suggest this branch at my college.
