GATE syllabus for mining engineers

I am preparing for GATE and want to know what the syllabus is for the same.

Below is the list of subjects that are there to study while preparing for GATE.

Mechanics: Equivalent force systems; Equations of equilibrium; two dimensional frames and trusses; free body diagrams; Friction forces; Particle kinematics and dynamics.

Mine Development, Geo-mechanics and Ground Control: Methods of access to deposits; Underground drivages; Drilling methods and machines; Explosives, blasting devices and practices.
Geo-technical properties of rocks; Rock mass classification; Ground control, instrumentation and stress measurement techniques; Theories of rock failure; Ground vibrations; Stress distribution around mine openings; Subsidence; Design of supports in roadways and workings; Rock bursts and coal bumps; Slope stability.

Mining Methods and Machinery: Surface mining: layout, development, loading, transportation and mechanization, continuous surface mining systems; Underground coal mining: board and pillar systems, room and pillar mining, long-wall mining, thick seam mining methods; Underground metal mining : open, supported and caved stoping methods, stope mechanization, ore handling systems, mine filling.

Generation and transmission of mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic power; Materials handling: haulages, conveyors, face and development machinery, hoisting systems, pumps.
Ventilation, Underground Hazards and Surface Environment: Underground atmosphere; Heat load sources and thermal environment, air cooling; Mechanics of air flow, distribution, natural and mechanical ventilation; Mine fans and their usage; Auxiliary ventilation; Ventilation planning. Air, water and soil pollution : causes, dispersion, quality standards, reclamation and control.

Surveying, Mine Planning and Systems Engineering: Fundamentals of engineering surveying; Levels and levelling, theodolite, tacheometry, triangulation, contouring, errors and adjustments, correlation; Underground surveying; Curves; Photogrammetry; Field astronomy; EDM, total station and GPS fundamentals.

Principles of planning: Sampling methods and practices, reserve estimation techniques, basics of geo-statistics and quality control, optimization of facility location, cash flow concepts and mine valuation, open pit design; GIS fundamentals.
