The selection criteria for BTech Petroleum/Oil Engineering course is based on both Class 12 merit and entrance exam marks. Some colleges give admission solely on the basis of the entrance exam score for which you have to get excellent marks in the exam as the competition is high.
Meanwhile, a lot of colleges also give admission on the basis of the marks in the Class 12 board exams. These colleges also take extra rounds like the PI or GD.
