Remarks

I wanted to opt for the petroleum engineering B.Tech program as thee are very few colleges in India that provides petroleum courses in engineering I have also applied for UPES but the college fee was very high which was a little tough for me to afford so after quick research I found VELS University which is a private college and is listed among the top 50 best private colleges of India in the engineering program. The college offers good placement and the college faculty is also very good. I have to pass the entrance exam of the university which I did and I have applied for admission by filling out the admission form from the college's official website by paying a fee of Rs 200.

The curriculum uses case study methods and simulative activity to clean our concepts ad to make us aware of the ongoing competition in the field of petroleum technology. The faculty of the college is expert and they are the masters in their respective subject. The faculty are not only of PhD standards but they have very good industrial experience which is very beneficial for us to enhance our knowledge.
