Bhubaneswar Institute of Industrial Technology

Welcome to the Department of Mining Engineering

BHUBANESWAR INSTITUTE OF INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY(BIIT)  is one of the top and the best mining engineering college in India that has been approved by Directorate General of Mines Safety (DGMS). BIIT College of Engineering offers top quality of education for both Degree and Diploma streams. DGMS is the Indian Government Regulatory agency for safety in mines and oil-fields. Not just anyone can get this approval, for this, all round development, infrastructure, quality of education and lab facilities should be of standard quality. BIIT offers various other streams to both B. Tech and Diploma streams, but the mining engineering is the most advanced and prominent branch of our college.

The discipline of Mining Engineering is unique to BIIT College of Engineering among the mining engineering colleges in India. It was founded in 2010; the department offers Diploma and B.Tech/Degree programmes. BIIT is situated in Retang,Khordha, Bhubaneswar. It is also nearer to Asia’s largest iron ore mines which located at Keonjhar, Odisha. Here you will get lots of opportunities for vocational training in nearby mines (within 60 Kilometers of radius).

The Department of Mining Engineering, BIIT College of Engineering, in fact is one of the top and the best mining engineering college in Odisha, India that has been recognized by DGMS (Directorate General of Mines Safety). Approved by AICTE, New Delhi and affiliated to BPUT, Rourkela, Orissa. The department of mining engineering at BIIT College of Engineering is now one of the biggest in the Odisha with all facilities related to Mining Engineering. The Department is divided into six divisions with laboratories well equipped with both conventional and modern facilities. Facilities have been developed for research in collaboration with mining industry in dealing with their practical problems and also problems of fundamental nature.

Mining first aid training & certificate by St John Ambulance:

Mine First Aid Certificate is the first certificate which is to be taken by a Mining student. Nobody is eligible for mining job in India without having mine First Aid certificate.

Mine First Aid course is an introductory course suited to all personnel across all work sectors in surface mining environments. The Mine First Aid course focuses on providing the theoretical and practical skills essential to First Aid management in a mining environment. First aid is the assistance given to any person suffering a sudden illness or injury, with care provided to preserve life, prevent the condition from worsening, or to promote recovery .It is the recommendation in the “First Aid in the workplace” Code of Practice July 2012 that a workplace First Aider should renew their First Aid certificate every three years. However CPR should be undertaken every year.

BIIT College of Engineering are conducting Mining First Aid Training with examination for the students and providing First Aid Certificates to them under St. John Ambulance. BIIT is an authorized center for First Aid Training with qualified trainer, permitted by St. John Ambulance .Interested students are required to give application to the HOD/Principal for batch wise training.

DGMS Circular:

As per Mines Act 1952, persons holding Degree in Mining Engineering from any recognized University have been exempted from passing Second Class Mine Manager’s Certificate of Competency examination. Similarly persons holding Diploma or Merit Certificate in Mining have been exempted from passing Over man’s Certificate of Competency examination.

Job Prospects:

It is the job of a mining engineer to ensure the safe and efficient development of mines and other surface and underground work. They have to understand the effects of these mining structures on their surrounding environment. Before a new site is developed Mining engineers are involved at all stages of a project, they assess its viability and assist with planning the mine’s structure.

Primary Responsibilities:

• • Responsible in the development of mine plans, methods, design and materials handling.
  • Provide specialist technical input into team project work.
  • Provide input and evolution into reserve and resource estimates.
  • Develop or bring forward, as appropriate, industry best practices and new technologies.
  • Prepare and review project proposal, studies and technical reports.
  • Oversee the cost effective, safe and timely completion of project that meet or exceed expectations.
  • Travel to side and head office as needed.
  •
