SoM believes in regular sessions by management practitioners as an essential part of good management education and training. In addition, management conclaves and seminars, conferences conducted annually and international conference once in 2 years, enrich the knowledge base of the students at the school. They also get hands-on experience to organize and participate in such activities. Students at SoM also get opportunities to listen and learn from global experts who are invited to the University from time to time. Fulltime residential program and two years of engaging in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, also add value to the personality development of our students.
Teaching pedagogy at SoM has a balanced mix of lectures, case studies, student presentations, student-research, seminars and other modern methods of education and training in management. Summer internship program of 8 weeks’ duration with organisations, helps students to apply and experiment, what they have learnt in classrooms. This helps organizations to have fresh and innovative ideas coming from these students and getting solutions for their business-related issues by these future budding managers. And students get their learnings reinforced further. In short, SoM attempts to develop highly trained managers to meet the present as well as the future requirements of the business and industry.

Dr. Anirbid Sircar
Director

School of Energy Technology (SoET) came into existence in 2007. The vision with which the school was started was to impart knowledge to the young minds and develop capable resources to be offered to the oil and gas industry in the form of skilled manpower.

SoET is a research oriented institute and we also believe in strong industry-academia connect. Sitting on the Director’s chair, I try to motivate engineers to develop holistically. Along with a dedicated team of faculty members and staff, we are developing the school and moving towards excellence with each step we take.

SoET has a good alumni base in Oil and Gas Industry. I feel proud to say that within a short span of time, SoET has built a good reputation with the industry and our placement is reflecting the same.

The Petroleum Engineering program offered at SoET covers the entire value chain from the exploration of hydrocarbon till the supply of petroleum products to end users. Keeping this in mind SoET offers B.Tech degree in Petroleum Engineering with majors in Upstream and Downstream. The school also offers Master’s and Doctoral degrees in Petroleum Engineering. Our academic programs are amongst the best in the country. The school provides an optimum mix of theory and practical, with strong emphasis on industrial applications. The program gives a lot of importance to practical experience for which extensive interaction with industry is built into the curriculum.

I welcome all the young minds and budding engineers to join the SoET family and work towards excellence.
