PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

Preamble:

Petroleum Engineering Department was established in 1983 due to the visionary

foresight of our Director, Prof. (Dr.) Vishwanath D. Karad. Petroleum Engineering

was unheard of at that time and there were very few institutes in the country offering

an undergraduate Petroleum Engineering course in the country. India was on the verge

of expansion in the upstream oil and gas domain, so competent manpower was

required for the industry. Thus, the mission back then was to fill in this gap. The

department had a head-start over other institutes in this regard. During those times,

emphasis was laid on building the very basic infrastructure in the department. The

curriculum was designed by Late Prof. M. V. Joshi, the first Head of the Department,

in consultation with eminent personalities like Dr. R. A. Mashalkar, Dr. V. M.

Nadkarni.

The Petroleum industry has grown in leaps and bounds in the past twenty years. Over

the years, number of institutes offering this course has increased. Now, there is no

dearth of trained professionals. The Petroleum industry as a whole has undergone

radical change. The need exists to train professionals who will be capable of carrying

out research in niche areas of Petroleum Engineering hence our mission and vision

now focus on excellence in education to create professionals competent to take up

research.
