School of Petroleum Management (affiliated to Pandit DeenDayal Petroleum University) is providing management graduates specifically for Oil & Gas sector which contains group of fresh and experienced people with diverse backgrounds. Also, its state-of-art infrastructure equipped with world class facilities and expert team of faculties are dedicated to provide Excellency in education. Further, regular interactions between industry experts and students adds value and thereby bridges the gap between Industry and Institution.

I chose this area of study because I already had an interest in Petroleum, the most happening and the most influential sector in the world economies and have developed a passion for the domain. Now after Post graduating from the Institute I enjoy the respect as an alumni of the Institute and the attention I receive as a Crude Oil trader. One of the most important aspects of student life is where you live, I was lucky enough to get a well furnished room with all desirable facilities on the very first day I joined. There I made some life long friends. I enjoyed every minute of my stay there. However, the new hostel in the campus premises is excellent of having more facilities and lavish accommodation with Gym and sports club (much to everyones delight!).The campus is ideally situated between Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, this location is one of the few Places that has such diverse students (from 5 world class Institutes and universities in and around) that it offers something to do for everyone. Just 20 min away from the Air-port, major shopping malls and multiplexes, making travel very comfortable and weekends very happening. Gujarat being a dry State, it ensured that we always meet a very decent crowd at whichever places we go. One positive experience for me personally was the diversity at IPMG (It had students from 21 states of India). I am able to learn a lot from other people and hear different points of views from various Students and staff. Another positive experience is that we see the faculty on campus a lot and they interact with students during events held on campus. I feel that is important because that gives students the chance to see teachers, the director is very approachable and the management is always open to student requests and they ensured that students are always involved in the key decision processes of the Institute. The Institute had managed well to rope in the top class professors from IIMs as visiting faculty and the Industry heads of the NOCs , SOCs and MNCs as guest Faculty. I knew the day I joined that my future is secure, Institute has a very good Industry network and placement cell always ensured that we are placed in the best organizations; both my summer and final Placements are done in Fortune 500 companies. I am very proud to be an SPMGian.

Kranthi Kiran Reddy Tamma - International Trade and Supplies-HPCL

I grew up in New Delhi, India. After completing a bachelor in computer applications at the age of 21, I spent four years in an IT company.

The experience at a middle level job boosted my confidence and commercial acumen. But certain aspects of my role, such as the financial requirements, were a challenge for me. So I had a choice: I could continue learning on the job or I could get a formal management education. I chose the latter and after 4 years in IT, moved to IPMG, Gandhinagar to begin my MBA. Joining IPMG was one of the best decisions of my life. The IPMG experience broadened my managerial skills, provided me with advanced tools/frameworks in strategic marketing, business strategy and finance, empowering me to become an integrative thinker and strategic problem solver, which are critical for business decision making.

Thanks to placement cells efforts, I secured my first post-MBA job even before I graduated. During the Summer Internship project-where students undertake live management projects supplied by organization- I worked on a project for understanding the fiscal regime for bidding for Oil and Gas Blocks. I made an impression on GM-HR, who offered me a job in the Planning and Development Cell. I am very grateful to him. His confidence in my skills and competencies opened up the door for me in the Oil sector.

And the doors keep opening. Now working for a fortune 500 company Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) as a Direct Sales officer. I believe working for a Fortune 500 company like HPCL is very exciting and challenging as you are among peers who are the best and brightest in the industry. And now that I have my MBA I am ready to take on any new challenges in my professional career.

Although 2006-08 was the first batch of IPMG, there was never a compromise on the quality of education, faculty and infrastructure. The well designed course curriculum, renowned and experienced faculty and fine infrastructure always made me feel at par with students from best of the B schools spread across India. The co curricular activities gave a chance to all for showcasing their talent and development of overall personality. Above all, the excellent placements reflected the collective efforts of faculty and students. Besides academic learning, I got the golden opportunity to be as close to nature as never before. Flower laden fields, varied fauna along with beautiful peacocks formed a spectacular sight every day filling my day with loads of enthusiasm and positivity.

I owe a lot to SPM for its valuable learning and memorable experiences that would never fade from my mind throughout my life.

The two years spent at SPM have been instrumental in shaping my career. IPMG has taught me how to be a team man, how to meet deadlines and commitments, which according to me are a pre-requisite for any management professional. However the journey has not been an easy one. The case studies, assignments, projects and examinations always used to keep all of us on our toes. But as the famous saying goes No pains, no gains.

Today SPM has carved a niche for itself in the petroleum sector by being amongst the very few institutes of the country which offer a management course focused on the entire value chain in the oil and gas sector. I think soon IPMG is going to be in the league premier B-Schools of the country through the dedicated and sincere efforts of the faculty members, who are competent in their respective teaching areas. I wish the institute good luck in its future endeavors.
