The word petrochemical is coined to describe organic chemicals obtained directly or indirectly from crude petroleum.

Career Opportunities

Petrochemical engineering graduates therefore will be in a position to shoulder responsibilities in refineries, petrochemical plants as well as downstream petroleum industries and R & D Organizations. The department has a vibrant student chapter of Petrotech Society, New Delhi , one of the only six granted by the Petrotech Society. The chapter is a platform for fruitful interaction with petrochemical industry through seminars, workshop, projects, industrial training.

BE (Petrochemical)

BE (Petrochemical) is a four-year undergraduate course of eight semesters (5 papers each) conducted and assessed by the University of Pune . Petrochemical degree course at the University of Pune is a specialized chemical engineering course with emphasis on refining operations and petrochemical technology. Core subjects like Reaction Engineering, Heat Transfer, Mass Transfer, Fluid Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Transport Phenomena are bridged with special subjects like Petrochemical Processes, Refinery operations with due weightage on Numerical Computation Process Control, Modeling & Simulation.

Academic Projects & Seminars

Final year Students must undertake some academic projects in two semesters and work on their own topics and submit the report to the University. Their performance on these projects is also considered for their final assessment. Usually, final year projects are completed with help of Industries, National Laboratories etc.
