B.Tech Petrochemical Engineering or Bachelor of Technology in Petrochemical Engineering is an undergraduate Petrochemical Engineering course. Petrochemical Engineering is a branch of engineering concerned with the extraction of derivatives from gasoline, such as benzene, butane, and so on. The four-year B.Tech degree in Petroleum Engineering is organized into eight semesters. The course may be offered via distance education. B.Tech in Petrochemical, B.Tech in Petrochemical Technology, and BE in Petrochemical Engineering are some of the other names for this program. All of them are variations on the same course. There is little difference in the curriculum, and as a result, they are regarded similarly in the employment market. Certain institutes, however, offer them as B.Tech or BE programs. The Petrochemical Engineering degree is essential and career-oriented, with various work opportunities after completion. This course is available at a number of colleges and institutions.

B.Tech Petrochemical Engineering Eligibility

  • Only students from the Science stream at the 10+2 level are eligible for the Bachelor of Engineering course.
  • Age Limit may vary as may vary the percentage requirement which is mostly 55-60%.
  • Selection to BE is based on merit i.e., the marks secured in the final exams of 10+2 and through entrance exams.
  • Diploma holders in engineering are also eligible for entry into BE Diploma holders of engineering enter degree courses, by lateral entry, which gives some concessions in the study of subjects.
