The Dept of PME provides for an intensive learning environment for the students in the form of state of the art classrooms and well-equipped laboratories. While the classrooms provide an opportunity to learn the technical aspect of the subject, the laboratories provide an opportunity for the students to have a “hands-on" experience on technology and thus innovate. The air-conditioned classrooms, projection system, document readers are an ideal place for collaborative learning. Besides the existing Petroleum and Mining Engineering Laboratory and Simulation Laboratory, more facilities such as Petroleum Products and Lubricating Oil Testing Lab (POL Lab) under CATS PME have been functional since the end of 2020 and has been providing an ideal platform for students to specialize in the field of petroleum and mining engineering since then.

Dept of PME always encourages and gives support to the students to take part in different activities through which they can nurture there social, leadership, and managerial skills. Dept of PME is not only focused on academic development but also on the development of communication and leadership skills of its students.
