How are placements in PDPU and what is the average placement salary for petroleum engineering?
Placements at PDPU are really good, as a lot of reputed companies take part in their placement program. They offer proper industrial exposure through internships and industry visits.
Petroleum Engineering and Technology students usually receive the highest salary package compared to other branches.
Once, ONGC had recruited around 15–20 Petroleum Engineers with a package of around 14–15 LPA. If you compare the average salary package, Petroleum engineers get a package of around 5–6 LPA.
| Categories | Petroleum Engineering at PDPU |
| Course Fee | INR 9.73 lakh |
| Placement Percentage | 80% |
| Highest CTC | 16 LPA |
| Average CTC | 8 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | ONGC, Schlumberger, Shell, Reliance, etc. |
If you have good knowledge and fluent communication skills, combined with a perfect academic performance then you will definitely get placed in one of the reputed companies with appropriate salary packages.
What should I take IIT Dharwad or IIT Bhilai with Electrical, Mechanical, or IIT Dhanbad with Petroleum?
IIT Dhanbad is known for offering the best program for a degree in Petroleum around the world. You will have the chance to secure a job with top companies with high packages, sometimes even leading up to 20 LPA.
The table below gives a brief insight into the institutes.

Current scenario:
- The number of high paying placements for Petroleum Engineering has considerably reduced after the institute became an IIT. If you have confidence on securing a well-paying job then go ahead and apply for the course in Petroleum.
- If placement is important to you then you might want to reconsider your options. Electrical and Mechanical observe a high number of placements considering they are core branches of Engineering. Petroleum being a niche field of study sees fewer placements.
Infrastructure: (Winning Institute - IIT Dhanbad)
- IIT Dharwad and IIT Bhilai are fairly new and therefore still do not offer a fully-developed campus.
- IIT Dhanbad, on the other hand, has a well-developed campus that offers students all modern and updated facilities such as practical labs, multiple academic blocks, a digital library, and more. In terms of Infrastructure, IIT Dhanbad is way better.
Both options have their advantages and disadvantages so weigh in those and choose as you see fit.
How is the B.Tech in Petroleum Engineering programme at LPU?
Lovely Professional University does not offer a B.Tech in Petroleum Engineering. But you can opt for B.Tech Chemical Engineering at LPU.
Petroleum Engineering is a subset of Chemical Engineering. Chemical Engineering deals with the use of Chemistry to create novel compounds, food, fuel, and medications. A Chemical Engineer can work in the Petroleum Industry as well.
Both Government and Private sectors have openings for Chemical Engineers. As a Chemical Engineer, you can work in various sectors like- Process Design for Fire and Explosives, Food Industry, Pharmaceutical Industry, Thermo-Fluids, and more.
The Chemical Engineering faculty and curriculum are both good at LPU. Thus, I would suggest you consider B.Tech Chemical Engineering at LPU.
oes LPU offer BTech Petroleum course?
No, LPU does not offer any courses in petroleum engineering. However, you can consider a BTech chemical engineering course as a viable alternative. You will learn about converting raw materials into useful products of value. A broad spectrum of topics are covered in this course that are important in petroleum refining and processing.
Additionally, you can also opt for elective courses in the areas of petroleum engineering. The course will provide you with a strong foundation to pursue a career in petroleum engineering. LPU’s strong placement record and brand value ensure that you will get job opportunities at top petrochemical companies.
