GATE Syllabus for Mining Engineering 2018 which stands for Graduate Aptitude Test for Engineering is one of the toughest all India Examination that basically test the comprehensive understanding of various undergraduate subjects in Engineering and Technology in a quick way.

Mining is quite interesting field which is diverse in nature. Mining engineers study general engineering course along with professional mining classes in drilling and blasting, rock mechanics, materials handling, mine ventilation, mine planning, operation analysis etc. Both the private and public sectors offer a wide range of opportunities.The students who wish to become mining engineers must have a good understanding of basic science, engineering & economic science.Communication skills and comprehension of social factors are also required in a mining engineer. Mining Engineers demand is high in gulf countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait,UAE and Qatar. It has also made remarkable progress in India and has a considerable potential of growth stored in this sector. The GATE syllabus for Mining Engineering 2014 is given in detail below-GATE SYLLABUS FOR MINING ENGINEERING 2018-

General Aptitude(GA)-Multiple Choice Test
