  Coal and mineral resources constitute the backbone of the economic growth of any nation. And fortunately, India is eminently endowed with this gift of nature. Today, India holds a fair position in the matter of production and export of coal and mineral resources like iron, steel, and aluminium. The advent of technology and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is breathing new life in the coal and mineral industry of the country, thereby the sector is flourishing at an exponential rate. The growth of mineral sectors has created a great demand for skilled professionals in the mining industry.     Today, there is a great demand for mining engineers across the world. Mining Engineering is focused on safe and efficient mines of coal and metals. While pursuing mining engineering students get specialization in a particular mineral or metal, such as iron or coal. Some Mining Engineers collaborate with geologists to find and evaluate new ore deposits. Others develop or improve mining equipment,
