I am interested in aeronautical and petroleum engineering. Which has better opportunities and a greater pay scale?

Both aeronautical and petroleum engineering are niche degrees with major opportunities in government and public sector units. Opportunities in both the fields are similar. Currently because of international oil price crash petroleum industry is in bit of crisis worldwide. However I feel it's a temporary phenomenon. If both subjects are of equal interest to you, choose your specialisation based on your entrance exam performance. You may choose institute for specialisation based on brand image, ranking and placement record.

LPU is good for a B.Tech in Petroleum Engineering. If you opt for the course, you will get to learn in one of the best academic environments in the university. The four year course consists of 8 semesters and is a relatively unexplored field of engineering. You can check out the detailed list of subjects that will be covered in the entire course duration at the official website of LPU. Once the course starts, do not forget to attend the workshops and guest lectures organized by the university as you get to gain a lot from it. Also, try to grab the outstanding internship and training opportunities that the university offers so that you get a hands-on experience of the industry. As far as placements are concerned, you do not have to worry on that front as you will be able to sit in a lot of placement drives organized by numerous companies. More than 550 companies have visited the LPU campus for hiring the students and the number just keep on increasing with each passing year. You would just have to focus on gaining as much knowledge as you can.
