How are the job opportunities after doing applied petroleum engineering from UPES-Dehradun?

The main job opportunity is an engineer in a petroleum refinery. There are a number of Private as well as Government refineries. One may apply for the post of an Engineer after graduation. Some big Petroleum Refineries in India are- Reliance Refinery (Jamnagar), Essar (Jamnagar), Cochin Refinery etc. One may also become an Engineer in Government enterprises such as ONGC and OIL! Crude oil exploration and extraction business sector is also one such field where graduates may find jobs. One may also get work in consultation business also, which deals with oil and natural gas as well as petroleum resources. Some Chemical Industries (especially Fertilizer and Plastics Industries) also deals with oil and petroleum to a large extent. One may also find job in such chemical factories. Also, to a small extent, pharmaceutical sector also provided job opportunities. This is due to the fact that some medicines make use of petroleum and its related by-products to an extent. Research and development is another field that offers jobs to graduates and postgraduates. Postgraduates stand a better chance at landing a job in this sector. This field has lots of potential because since crude oil is an exhaustible resource, research and development related to it is given more importance!
