Petroleum Engineering

Petroleum engineering is an emerging new course in this engineering field. I have many friends who earns well than the ece ones even after ece being the older and more preferred one in comparison. UPES dehradun would be the best if you go for petroleum engineering. All the best.

Your chances of getting this college at this rank seem to be difficult.
You got very high rank, do try next year or try for private colleges in India.
Good luck.

Hi,
The scope of petroleum engineering is bright in India. There are lots of exploration going on in India in Gujarat, Rajasthan and in South. Demand of petroleum engineers is going to increase in the time to come. There are many companies working in India presently both international and domestic. The energy sources are not about to end in many years to come and you can surely extract a good and satisfied living from jobs in petroleum industry. I would also suggest to prepare for GATE.
All the best.

Petroleum (B.Tech) branch has average placement of about 6-7 LPA (75% get placed). If you are in it for placement, go to UPES as it offer better placements.
Other branches, the placement isn't noteworthy.

Go for petroleum engineering from UPES because it would give you an enormous exposure and numerous opportunities in a better sector with a better future indeed.

Do B.Tech in mechanical instead of petroleum because you have some practical knowledge about the subject which is useful.
