RGIPT academic and technical programming

Overview

The Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology (RGIPT) conducted several academic and technical events at its Jais Campus in August 2026.

In early August, the institute held its 2026 Orientation Programme. During the event, Director Prof. Harish Hirani outlined a strategic focus on experiential learning, innovation, and industry readiness. The academic model aims to integrate mentorship from faculty and industry professionals, while expanding the curriculum to include the broader energy-transition ecosystem and supporting student entrepreneurship through incubation.

Later in the month, RGIPT hosted the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Student Regional Conference, known as ‘Viplav SRC 2026’. The three-day conference brought together approximately 250 students from various Indian institutions for technical paper presentations, poster competitions, and Chem-E-Car contests.
