B.Tech in Petroleum Technology at Aditya, the ‘branch of choice’ for students, was the first to be initiated in the state of Andhra Pradesh which is the home to one of the biggest petroliferous basins of the world. Rapidly increasing demand for oil has resulted in increased oil and gas exploration activity creating a greater demand for Petroleum engineers and in this regard the Petroleum department relentlessly organizes development activities that provide students with opportunities to discover, explore and understand different aspects of the sector they are studying.

To its credit the department, considered to be one of the strongest in the neighborhood, has provided 100% ‘on-the-job exposure’ through internship opportunities to the students in reputed industries like, ONGC, OIL, HPCL, Selan Oil Exploration, GSPC etc., to give them the edge to be readily deployable.

Putting the department on the map of JNTUK, the affiliating university, two students received gold medals by being the toppers. Four students received ‘Pratibha Awards’ from the state government of Andhra Pradesh.

Realizing the cardinal needs of well-trained human resource in the field, the department relentlessly trains and keeps the staff and students abreast of the latest trends by organizing workshops and guest lectures inviting experts from RIL, GSPC, ONGC, IOCL, INTERTEK, CMG, OIL and Halliburton International Ltd.
