Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology

The Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas (MOP&NG), Government of India set up The Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology (RGIPT) at Jais, Dist. Amethi, Uttar Pradesh through an Act of Parliament (“Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology Act 2007"). RGIPT has been accorded the eminence of being an “ Institute of National Importance” along the lines of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT). The Institute is empowered to award degrees in its own right. RGIPT is co-promoted as an energy domain specific institute by six leading Oil Public Sector Units (ONGC, IOCL, OIL, GAIL, BPCL and HPCL) in association with the Oil Industry Development Board (OIDB). The Institute is associating with leading International Universities/Institutions specializing in the domain of Petroleum Technology.

The prime objective of the Institute is to provide world class education, training, and research to roll out efficient human resources to meet the growing requirements of the Petroleum & Energy sector. The aspiration is to develop India as a global manpower hub for the entire Petroleum and Energy Sector.

RGIPT has an ambitious plan—to offer a number of Bachelors Degree and Masters Degree programs, PG diploma courses and Doctoral programs in Petroleum Technology and Management in phases. From the academic year 2008-2009, RGIPT has been imparting the MBA program and two Technical programs.

Rgipt Envisions:

• To serve as the fountainhead, for nurturing of world class 'PETROCRATS' capable of being the future leaders of technology and techno-innovation, in the broad field of Petroleum Technology.

Through:

• Creating a dynamic state of the art learning and working environment, where intellectual ideas are nurtured and new ideas creatively flourish, from which will emerge research scholars and graduates, with the ability to be the leaders and innovators of tomorrow.

This is an era of digital century where traditional educational boundaries are being challenged and recreated every single day. Hence, we would love to take the opportunity to recreate and push the limits a little bit further. In reality education has no bounds with respect to time, people and age. The process of learning is just like the birds in the sky flying far and high with wings of self-effort and wisdom. Here at Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology we put our hands together with a vision to strengthen the petrochemical industry in India. We listen, we observe and we attempt to understand how abilities can be developed in terms of people and technology. We intend to create a world class engineering and technology institute to strengthen Oil and Gas sector of the economy. RGIPT with the state of art laboratories supported by all the major Public sector, Private sector and Multinational companies aim to integrate academic and business needs.

We would work with a dedicated team towards not just providing the world with impeccable engineers but also good human beings. We strive together to make this place as an institute of excellence to provide trained manpower capable of leading the industry through research, innovation and application.
