About Us
The Department of Petrochemical
Engineering was started to render services to the student community to meet as the global
industrial expectations. The department is well equipped with various laboratories with
modern sophisticated equipments. The branch of Petrochemical Engineering deals with the
Petrochemical processes for manufacturing of different products, designing of equipment,
fundamental understanding and the technology of petroleum and petrochemicals, polymers,
resins, fibers and many other products. The department has the state-of-art laboratory
equipped with the required experimental facilities. The Petrochemical Engineering graduates
get good opportunity in various industries such as chemicals, petroleum and petrochemicals.
The B.E in Petrochemical
Engineering is a focused program designed to understand and solve many industries such as
refinery, on/off shore plant and petrochemical industrial related chemical problems. The
curriculum has been so designed that it gives a balanced version of theoretical knowledge in
various core and electives of this field in addition to courses in humanities, basic science
and also practical knowledge.
We strive to provide a hands-on
training to students with our sophisticated laboratories. We conduct various technical
development programs, workshops, and motivational courses through department Association, as
well as faculty development programs in association with renowned institution in the State.
