Candidates opting for Mining or Mining Machinery Engineering
should make sure that they are free from colour blindness. They
will be required to submit a certificate from a registered medical
practitioner to this effect at the time of admission. The standard
of visual acuity with or without glasses should be strictly
observed for candidates seeking admission in Mining as per DGMS

ground level.
Unsuitability

Section
46(1) of the Mines Act, 1952 states that "No woman shall,
notwithstanding anything contained in any other law, be employed
(a) in any part of a mine which is below ground, (b) in any mine
above ground except between the hours 6 AM and 7 PM". As a
result, a woman candidate cannot complete her practical training
and hence cannot obtain the B. Tech degree in Mining or Mining
Machinery Engineering. The courses are, therefore, not available
for women candidates.
