According to my information.. admissions are already done..

Major stake holders are HPCL, BPCL and IOCL.

Initially they are having 40 seats and they would be conducting MBA from a rented place.. further in subsequent year they would build their own infrastructure and full time faculties...

More Info from OIDB

Setting up of Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology (RGIPT)
On 5th July, 2007, the Government has approved the proposal for setting up of
Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology (RGIPT) at Jias, District Rai Bareli, Uttar
Pradesh, as an ‘Institute of National Importance’, through an Act of Parliament. The Bill in
this regard is proposed to be introduced during the Monsoon Session of Parliament, 2007.
2. The year 1999 witnessed the advent of the New Exploration Licensing Policy
(NELP) which has been progressively made more attractive. Successive rounds of NELP
have evoked great enthusiasm among foreign companies as well as Indian private and
public sector companies for acquiring exploration acreages in India. As on date, only 30%
of the sedimentary basins in India have been explored. The document ‘Hydrocarbon Vision
2025’ calls for intensification of exploration efforts with a view to achieving 100%
coverage of all unexplored basins in a time bound manner so as to enhance domestic
availability of oil and gas. It also calls for securing profitable acreage in identified
countries so as to ensure sustainable long-term supplies. There is still a vast potential in
terms of acreages that are to be explored. It is planned to increase the exploration coverage
to an extent of 100% by 2015. In this context, advanced oil and gas exploration &
production technology and availability of adequate number of qualified personnel would
play an even more important role in the coming years.
3. In a recent study conducted by consultant Price Waterhouse Coopers forPetrofed, the
gap between the availability and requirement of trained manpower in India is projected to
be about 36000 by the year 2019. The existing institutes, namely, Indian School of Mining
(ISM), Dhanbad and Maharashtra Institute of Technology (MIT), Pune, Indian Institute of
Technology (IIT), Kharagpur, Benares Hindu University (BHU), etc., will not be adequate
to meet the increasing requirement of technical manpower in the petroleum sector and also
do not have specific orientation to the requirements of this sector. The proposed RGIPT
will meet this shortfall to a significant extent
4. RGIPT is envisaged to serve as the fountainhead for the nurturing of world class
technical human resources capable of serving as the leaders and innovators of tomorrow in
the field of Petroleum Technology and Engineering covering the entire hydrocarbon value
chain.
5. The academic programmes proposed to be introduced in RGIPT are seven B. Tech
Programmes, two 5- year Integrated M.Sc./MBA Programmes, two M.Sc programmes,
twelve Master’s (M.Tech / M.Sc / MBA) Programmes of 2- year duration, twelve Domain
Specific PG Diploma Programmes of 1-year duration, Ph.D programmes in various areas
of specialization, and continuing education programmes for working professionals.
6. The Institute will commence its academic operations by admitting students in basic
undergraduate courses from the academic year 2008-09, from a rented campus to start with.
Simultaneously, infrastructure development commensurate with the intake of students will
be undertaken in a phased manner, to be completed by Year 2014-15 before the institute
becomes fully operational in 2015-16. The Institute, when fully functional, will have a
faculty strength of 267, 11 in Other Academics Cadres, 544 as In-house supporting staff
and 293 outsourced staff and 2400 students at the undergraduate, postgraduate and research
programmes. The student - faculty and faculty - supporting staff ratios have been proposed
on the present pattern in IITs.
7. The total expenditure proposed during the project period (2007-2016) is Rs. 695.58
crores, comprising total capital expenditure of Rs. 435.00 crores and total recurring
expenditure of Rs. 260.58 crores. Of the total capital expenditure, Rs. 150.00 crores will be
borne by Oil Industry Development Board (OIDB). The remainder (Rs. 285.00 crores) will
be met from budgetary support during the 11th Plan. The total estimated recurring
expenditure of Rs. 260.58 crores is proposed to be met from the interest accruing on
Endowment Fund of Rs. 250.00 crores to be created with the contribution of Oil Public
Sector Undertakings (PSUs), and the remaining amount raised by the Institute through
student fees, donations and other earnings of the Institute through Research &
Development, consultancies, students’ placement fees, etc.
