- ?What should a core-engineering fresher's CV contain when there is no work experience yet?
- ?What is a PSU interview after GATE actually like, and how do I prepare for it?
- ?How do campus placement interviews for core roles differ from applying off-campus?
- ?Is the GATE-and-PSU route worth a year of preparation for a mining or core engineering job?
- ?How should I prepare for GATE Mining, and what can I safely skip?
- ?How does placement at IIT (ISM) work, and what does the tag actually get you?
- ?What does a mining engineer actually do, and what is a site posting like?
- ?Should I stay in core engineering or move to a non-core role?
- ?What are PSU jobs like once you are in one, compared with private-sector work?
Sandeep read Mining Engineering at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, graduated in 2018, and went on to top GATE in Mining Engineering. He knows the two things a core engineering graduate most needs a straight answer on: what mining work is actually like as a job, and whether the GATE-and-PSU route is worth the year it takes. He is the right call for someone in or near a core engineering career, and the wrong one for a software or consulting question — he will tell you so.
