What is the salary of mining engineering if we do that at NIT Surathkal?

I am listing down the various possibilities for mining students at NIT Surathkal-

• PSUs- Companies like Coal India provide jobs to mining engineers at a decent package of 10-12 LPA.

• Non-core- Companies like Goldman Sachs are open to students of almost all engineering branches. If you are placed in a good analytics or IT company, you can expect a package of around 10-15 LPA. You may earn an even better package if a good software brand hires you based on excellent coding skills.

• Private Core companies- In these, you can expect around 4-8 LPA. 

Be sure to maintain a decent CGPA, so that you can sit for maximum companies. You may also be placed through mass recruitment in which case, your package will be around 3.5 LPA at most. Sometimes startups offer jobs to candidates and withdraw them at a later stage. 

I would recommend you choose the branch of your interest, instead of just looking at the placement packages. Try to enquire more about the career prospects of each branch, and the research prospects as well. Make an informed decision after carefully considering all the factors.
