BTech Petroleum Engineering is a 4-years engineering course that offers various specialization courses that deal with the production of hydrocarbons, which can either be natural gas or crude oil. The technical field of petroleum engineering requires having a detailed understanding of the physical properties of oil, gas, and water along with the process of oil exploration and processing of crude oils.
BTech Petroleum Engineering overlaps with other major engineering courses, such as mechanical, chemical and civil. The course covers a wide spectrum of diverse topics including, but not limited to, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Economics, Thermodynamics, and others.
BTech Petroleum engineering requires a minimum 10+2 basic qualifications in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry stream with a high percentage of marks. The average course fees to pursue BTech Petroleum Engineering can be anywhere between INR 25,000 to INR 4 Lakhs per year depending on the college.
