What is Petroleum Engineering?
Petroleum engineering is a combination of innovation, exploration and expansion. This major provides the building block for every other profession to effectively carry out its work. Petroleum engineering overlaps with many of the engineering disciplines, such as mechanical, chemical and civil engineering.
Petroleum engineering plays a major role in shaping the modern society by providing advanced technology to keep the supply and demand of crude oil met at the national and at the global level. The petroleum industry has always enjoyed a powerful status in shaping society in the past and is expected to do so in the foreseeable future.
Few lines about B.Tech/BE Petroleum Engineering
The B.Tech/BE Petroleum Engineering is an undergraduate course that is divided into 8-semesters. The course involves designing and developing methods to extract oil and gas deposit below the earth’s surface. The course learns the innovative process of extraction such as mining, drilling, etc.
The course teaches the students about petroleum geology and geophysics which focus on the provision of a static description of the hydrocarbon reservoir rock. The course also trains the students on the estimation of the recoverable volume of this resource with a detailed understanding of the physical behaviour of oil, water and gas within the porous rock at very high pressure.
Eligibility
The students who have passed PUC or 10+2 with science background can join to B.Tech/BE courses.The students interested in joining B.Tech/BE courses are required to qualify competitive exams like CET/COMED-K/JEE with high marks in order to get merit seats in various colleges.
Admission Procedures
The students with relevant qualifications can join B.Tech/BE courses by two modes. The first one is Merit based admission and the second one is Direct admission.
Let’s discuss in detail
Merit Admission
The students who are interested to join B.Tech/BE Petroleum Engineering degree should mandatorily appear for CET/COMED-K/JEE or institutional-based entrance exams and undergo counselling to choose their desired colleges for merit seats. The engineering college allots the merit seats to the students according to their rankings and marks obtained by them in their entrance exams and marks scored in PUC or 10+2.
There are two types of counselling for the B.Tech/BE students
1. Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) Counselling
The students who are interested to join the government engineering colleges and other engineering colleges affiliated to the government should undergo the counselling procedures of Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA).
