hi,

see ongc generally hires from IITS and top nits. ongc has past years comparatively less vacancy through gate. so if you are currently studying in b.tech petroleum engineering, you should opts for gate exam, if the psus can not be secured, I suggest you to go for m.tech course from top institute like IITS where you would get decent placement as per your branch.

generally vacancy for any psu for any year can not be predicted, it depends on the organization work opportunity, projects availability, seat matrix available for new employee.

nevertheless, if you have attempted gate exam, you may give a shot to careers360 college predictor tool to know about psu chances and probable name of m.tech colleges:

Petroleum engineering is one of the most highly compensated engineering fields. A petroleum engineer's average annual pay in India is Rs 6,99,027. Your income will rise as you gain experience.

Saudi Arabia pays an average of SAR 237,206 per year for petroleum engineering employment, which is equivalent to $63,248.61 per year.

Hi Bhardwaj!

Below are some of the Private Colleges where Petroleum Engineering is approached in good standards:

• Lovely Professional University, Phagwara.
• School of Engineering, Dehradun.
• Chandigarh University, Chandigarh.
• MIT College of Engineering, Pune.
• Presidency University, Bangalore.
• Aditya Engineering College, Surampalem.
• OPJS Univeristy, Rajgarh.

Hope this is helpful!

All the best!

India has a great scope as far as Petroleum Engineering is concerned in both Public and Private Sector. Once you complete your B.Tech in Chemical Engineering from NIT, you may pursue a M.Tech in Petroleum Engineering from some of the Top IITs like Bombay, Kharagpur, Roorkee or IIT ISM.

However, Chemical Engineering too has a great scope in Petroleum Sector with Companies like IOCL, BPCL, ONGC, Reliance, Schlumberger, Halliburton, ExxonMobil, Shell and HPCL. Hence, you may try for Placement Opportunities after B.Tech On or Off Campus or perhaps through GATE, as well as great prospects in Countries in the Middle East.

Definitely you must prepare for JEE Mains, but also do give effort to feat JEE Advanced. IIT ISM Dhanbad is by far the best Institute for Petroleum Engineering in India for B.Tech. The Institute has excellent infrastructure, faculty and research facilities and enjoys a strong employer outlook with Top Companies like Halliburton, Rio Tinto, Shell, ExxonMobil, ONGC, IOCL, BPCL recruiting from Campus.

In case, you do not clear JEE Advanced, you must follow what you have decided. A B.Tech in Chemical from some of the Top NITs or GFTIs or Excellent State Engineering Institutes followed by a M.Tech in Petroleum from some of the Higher Technical Institutes in India like IIT Bombay, IIT Kharagpur and so on.

Hello Sai Kumar!

Unfortunately, i t is very difficult to get a job for a petroleum engineering graduate. Over the years there has been a downfall in the industry and due to pandemic the situation is no better currently. However, experts say that there might be a rise in demand in the coming years, but it is purely dependent on the demand and cost of oil and its extract products.

Hello Aspirant,

Hope your doing good.

Petroleum Engineering is actually  related to the innovation and exploration of the process of oil and gas extraction. It is advanced from Mining Engineering and Geology, and linked to Geo science.

In  ahmedabad there are some job offerings in the field of lecturing, civil engineer(oil and gas), as a process engineer for pharmaceuticals and many more.

to get into any of the colleges in gujrat one has to take up certain entrance tests

such as JEE MAIN(NATA)

bitsat, VITEEE, UPES DAT

So apart from that field some  of the best choices would be finance and law. You'll find that in these roles your petroleum engineering knowledge will still get a solid workout.

here is a link attached below for you to check out college offering petroleum engineering courses.

Thankyou

Goodluck for everything ahead :)

Dear Aspirant,

Yes,As you know to become a petroleum engineer ,you must have a bachelor's degree in petroleum engineering.Candidates possessing bachelor's degree in mechanical and chemical engineering can also work in this field but bachelor's degree in petroleum is prefered first.

Thank you

Hi there!

Probably the best bet is to seek out positions at an American company doing business in your area: Chevron, Exxon, Schlumberger, KBR, Halliburton, etc. Once you have worked there for a bit, you can either transfer internally to the US or float your resume to friends who now know you in other companies.

Good Luck.
