MIT-WPU's petroleum engineering (AI ML) program unlocks future opportunities in global energy and resources
May 19, 2022
Pune (Maharashtra) [India], May 19 (ANI/Mediawire): MIT World Peace University (Formerly MIT Pune), a premier education institute with decades of experience in achieving engineering excellence, is offering a B. Tech program in Petroleum Engineering (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning). Aimed at engineering enthusiasts, the program strives to create highly trained professionals specializing across subcategories such as -- Drilling Engineering, Exploration and Economics, Production Engineering, AI and ML, and Data Analytics amongst others. Following the latest recruitment drive, the top 10 per cent of the current batch were offered the highest packages of Rs. 20 LPA from Cairn India - Vedanta; followed by ExxonMobil offering Rs 11.5 LPA.
Furthermore, in recent years, the institute has also witnessed an increase in the number of IT companies hiring petroleum engineering graduates to utilize their specific talent set in their domain, focused on the petrochemical industry. Companies like Enverus, Tietoevry (Corum Software) and Quest Global have participated in the recent recruitment drive and offered graduates a package around Rs 5-6 LPA.
Dr Rahul Joshi, Head, School of Petroleum Engineering, at MIT-WPU, said, "The necessity to obtain clean energy from the subsurface of the earth and to store crude oil, a significant ingredient for the production of medicines, agrochemicals and other petrochemicals (polymers and synthetic detergents), is inevitable. Further, the world of energy and resources is evolving with technological advancement to adapt to modern demand and we, at MIT-WPU, are constantly working with the industry to empower our students with the top of class skills and knowledge."
The 4-years B. Tech program derives inputs from mathematical, physical and geosciences as well as different branches of engineering to maximize the oil and gas recovery from subsurface reservoirs. Through the innovative pedagogy, students are developed to tackle challenges in the various disciplines of petroleum engineering and explore career avenues such as -- Drilling Engineer, Reservoir Engineer, Petroleum Economist, Data Analyst, Oil and Gas Marketer, Oil Field Instrumentation Engineer and many more. Additionally, the objective of the program is to nurture industry-ready professionals equipped with a deep understanding of the interdisciplinary subject.
As a testament to the quality of education imparted by the School of Petroleum Engineering, numerous national and international companies conduct recruitment drives, including Chevron, Total, Honeywell, Baker Hughes, Shell, and John Energy International to name a few. Further, students pursuing the program are provided ample practical learning opportunities owing to the institute's connections with Tietoevry, Techniche, ONGC, Aker Solutions, Reliance Industries, Accenture, and Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) amongst others.
In the current scenario of globalization, the School is working toward creating a world-class, state of the art prototype of a subsea engineering laboratory to conduct and demonstrate deep-water offshore production operations.
To explore the field of petroleum engineering, interested candidates must have passed 12th standard with Physics, Mathematics and English as compulsory subjects with a minimum of 50 per cent marks (45 per cent for reserved category candidates) to apply for the program. Further, candidates are also required to submit their valid JEE Main, MH-CET, WPU-MEET or PERA CET scores as part of the selection process.
