![Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology - [RGIPT]](https://img.collegedunia.com/public/college_data/images/logos/1515244621Logo.png?h=71.7&w=71.7&mode=stretch)
Admission to the college is determined solely by the JEE Advance rank, with no other criteria considered. The faculty-to-student ratio ranges from 1:30 to 1:100, which is favorable compared to other colleges. Although the faculty credentials are not as high as those of IIT professors, they surpass those of other government engineering colleges. However, the relatively young and less experienced faculty, particularly in the Computer and Electronics branches, affects teaching quality.
The course structure is practical and similar to IIT Kanpur but includes some irrelevant topics for certain branches. The first-year curriculum covers PCMB and C programming. Exams aim to ensure understanding, with a 75% attendance requirement, and become more challenging after the second semester. The college maintains a stable fee structure but lacks support for students with lower income certificates. Placement outcomes vary significantly between departments. The Chemical and Petroleum branches report a strong 96% placement rate with an average package of 12 LPA and the highest reaching 24 LPA.
Meanwhile, the first graduating batch of Computer Science (CSE) and Electronics (ECE) in 2024 achieved an average package of 9 LPA, the highest being 10 LPA, with 14 out of 60 CSE students placed. Students become eligible for placements in their 7th semester, and while internships are nearly 100% secured, particularly in Chemical and Petroleum fields, the placement cell's effectiveness for tech branches requires improvement. The total cost for a four-year course is approximately Rs. 12-12.67 lakh, with semester fees of around Rs. 1,23,300 plus Rs. 20,000 for mess and hostel fees.
Scholarships are primarily merit-based, with top 5-10% of students eligible for Rs. 20,000 per semester, and additional support for SC, ST, and OBC candidates. The merit cum need (McM) scholarship offers Rs. 25,000 per semester, but no specific income-based scholarships are provided. The college has partnerships with banks for loan facilities, and external scholarships can also be pursued.
