I wanted to opt for the petroleum engineering B.Tech program as thee are very few colleges in India that provides petroleum courses in engineering I have also applied for UPES but the college fee was very high which was a little tough for me to afford so after quick research I found VELS University which is a private college and is listed among the top 50 best private colleges of India in the engineering program. The college offers good placement and the college faculty is also very good. I have to pass the entrance exam of the university which I did and I have applied for admission by filling out the admission form from the college's official website by paying a fee of Rs 200.
