The postgraduate Master of Business Administration course is a popular course, since every organization requires management at essentially all levels. There are different domains in which management of business activities has become specialized and narrower in focus. One such domain is the vital field of petroleum and energy management. As its name suggests, this particular specialization focuses upon the management of energy corporations. In the specific case of India, a country with less than sufficient energy generation and supply infrastructure, this field has immense scope for development and expansion. The curriculum for most colleges and institutions that teach this specialization consists of an amalgamation of conventional management disciplines like finance, marketing, operations, human resource management and strategic management, along with focused studies on petroleum and energy sectors like refinery technology and economics, natural gas businesses, exploration and non-conventional energy.
After completing a specialization in this aspect of business management, students could enter institutions or companies in the following sectors,
Power Distribution
Oil Marketing
Power Generation
Oil Exploration
Power Transmission
Energy/Power Infrastructure
Financing/Manufacturing
Energy Sector Consulting Services
NGOs
Other Government Agencies
The course is usually two years long and is divided into four semesters of equal length.
First Semester
Second Semester
Third Semester
Fourth Semester
