Under the guidance of experienced faculty, students gain a comprehensive understanding of engineering principles in exploration, drilling, reservoir management, production, surface operations, and management.
The program equips students with the necessary knowledge and skills to pursue higher education or embark on careers in industries or research and development (R&D) organizations. The success of our students in the petroleum engineering courses is evident through their on-campus and off-campus placements in reputable public sector undertakings (PSUs) and multinational corporations (MNCs). Furthermore, our students have continued the department's legacy by securing opportunities for higher education at foreign universities. As a whole, the department is dedicated to fostering the holistic development of its students.
