So I have reached UPES to restart my life but I have not told anything about the University, have I?
University of Petroleum & Energy Studies is situated in the village of Bidholi in Dehradun and was started in 2003 as a domain-specific University. This is situated in the beautiful and picturesque location between the hills. Nestled between the hills, this young University is spread around 30 acres and hopefully will expand in a few years.
I have seen many of my friends choosing Universities simply based on the acreage they are spread on with tall buildings. But this one here is situated in an earthquake prone zone, so you wont find any tall buildings and understandably is a little difficult to spread itself around.
So how do we reach here?
This is the tough part. One way is to reach Delhi and from there Dehradun or reach Dehradun directly. From the centre of the city you will find yourself going to Premnagar through the stretch of Chakrata Road, Ballapur Chowk. From Premnagar you will find Tata Aces(nicknamed Tracker) to reach the University. This journey passes through a wonderful forest on a road wounded throgh the forest.
On the way you can find tons of hostels which have cropped up for the girls and boys coming from all over India to study here. This University boasts of being Drug-Free and Ragging-Free, a pretty commendable claim today. The seniors and the faculty are fantastic and always willing to help their juniors.
The guys at the hostel are allowed a weekend trip to the city of Dehradun every Saturaday.
About the recruiters in my course, the major recruiters are Schlumberger, Cairn, ONGC and Greka to name a few. I have already enrolled myself into SPE & PETROTECH, the laregest communities of Petroleum Engineers internationally & nationally respectively. These socities organize meets in Upes between universities like ISM Dhanbad, PDPU, King Fahd University etc.
Here's hoping to a better future! Keep Smiling!
