greetings,

if are are interested in studying metallurgy, mining and related studies, go for it.

it does not has a lot of scope but if you get good grades, develop your personality and get excellent grades studying in a top college then there is no limit to your success.

you may work as a lecturer, take a government job as a scientist or work in an MNC.

many iits and nits offer mining engineering.

hope this helps.

good luck
