MINERALS INDUSTRY EDUCATION AND TRAINING II

The Department of Fuel and Mineral Engineering was founded in the
year 1976 to address the processing issues of the minerals (metallic, non-
metallic and fuel).

The B Tech program (4 years) in Mineral Processing was launched in 1984
by Professor TC Rao. The admission to the program is through the national
Joint Entrance Examination along with IITs.

The admission to the M Tech program is through the Graduate Aptitude
Test In Engineering (GATE) exam, which is very difficult and attracts very
high caliber students. Mineral processing is not necessarily the first choice of
these students but nevertheless provides a supply of high quality students.
