As the name says, "Petroleum" is considered to be the best course in UPES. But, UPES provides many other courses that are helpful too. In computer science, there are many specializations that can be chosen according to the field of interest. Then in non-CS also. It offers a lot of courses like electrical, mining, APE gas stream, oil and gas etc. Fire and safety stream is also providing a great package as very few universities provide this course. So, these were the courses that you can choose. All the best.

Yes, it is decided on the basis of rank. But there are some chances that you will get petroleum engineering.
This time, they are not telling the rank beforehand. They will tell you if you will go for counselling or not. So there are more chances to get petroleum than before.
