BSc Mining Engineering – UET Peshawar

BSc Mining Engineering at UET Peshawar is a four-year PEC-accredited degree and one of the few mining engineering programmes in Pakistan. It is taught at the main campus and is described in the 2026-27 undergraduate prospectus, which also lists mining-specific scholarships from HEC, the Government of KP and industry sponsors such as Lucky Cement.

Program Overview

Mining Engineering covers geology and mineralogy, rock mechanics, surface and underground mining methods, mine surveying, drilling and blasting, mine ventilation, mineral processing, mine safety and environmental management, mine economics and computer applications in mining. Field visits to mines in KP and Balochistan and industrial training are part of the programme.

It suits students who like geology and heavy engineering and are willing to work in remote and field locations. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s marble, chromite, coal and gemstone deposits and the national push on mineral development make the degree strategically important.

Quick Facts

Eligibility Criteria

UET Peshawar’s admission rules require at least 60 percent un-adjusted marks in FSc pre-engineering or an equivalent qualification plus the ETEA engineering entry test conducted for the 2026-27 session; candidates whose results are awaited may apply on the basis of expected marks with a hope certificate. Students who studied Computer Science in place of Chemistry may attempt the computer science portion of the test but are eligible only for the computer engineering group of programmes. Open-merit seats are for candidates domiciled in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and erstwhile FATA, with separate quotas and self-finance seats described in the prospectus.
