Petroleum Engineering covers chemistry and geology to extract oil and gas from under the earth's surface. LPU doesn't offer B.Tech. Petroleum Engineering course, instead offering B.Tech. Chemical Engineering course, which you can pursue. Chemical engineering is a broader category than petroleum engineering. It covers the production and use of many types of chemicals. Chemical engineers use chemistry to develop fuel, food, drugs and new substances. Both petroleum and chemical engineering are considered some of the most valuable degrees in India & abroad. A Chemical Engineer could work in the Petroleum sector as well. Chemical engineers can be employed in both the public and private sectors. Some sample job titles for chemical engineers are: Process engineer Fire and explosions engineer Biochemical engineer Food processing engineer Pharmaceutical engineer Continuous improvement engineer Thermo-fluid engineer Chemical technologist Adhesives engineer Being alumni of Lovely Professional University I must say, it's the best place to pursue your Chemical Engineering Degree. LPU provides innovative pedagogy with the most upgraded curriculum in perspective to advanced industry trends. In LPU, this program provides a strong foundation of the different facets of the Chemical Engineering discipline, to develop an analytical insight among the students, that will equip them towards taking up leading roles in academia, industry and entrepreneurship. (A) Industry Interface: 1) Tie ups with industry 2) Content delivery by industry experts 3) Projects in collaboration with industry 4) Internships to engage deeply in hands on real-life situations (B) INDUSTRIAL TRAINING: Allow students to develop specific training oriented towards practicality and hands on exposure in the industrial process. (C) INDUSTRY CO-OPT PROJECT-II Provide vital experiential learning opportunity, an educational strategy that links classroom learning and student interest with the acquisition of knowledge in an applied work setting like a company, industry, non-profit, governmental, or community-based organisation.

LPU students got a highest package of11 lpa while the average salary this year was 4.6 lpa. The students were recruited by Chemical Brothers, Infollion Research, Nestle, Transport Corporation of India, Tata Technologies, Jubilant Biosys, Indegene Lifesystems, Eclerx, Focus Energy Ltd, Revy Environmental Solutions Pvt Ltd, Combustion Research Associates, S K Minerals, Wabag, Cognizant, Capgemini, Accenture, Aakash Educational Services,  Cactus Communications, Pulsus Healthtech, etc

greetings,

UPES is better than LPU.

UPES is known for its courses in petroleum and the average package is also comparitively higher for UPES.
