🎓 1. Descon Graduate Training Program (GTP)

The Descon Trainee Program, officially known as the Graduate Training Program (GTP), is a high-intensity leadership track designed for Freshers. The goal is simple: to transform raw engineering talent into industry-ready professionals capable of managing multi-million dollar projects in the Oil & Gas, Power, and Infrastructure sectors.

Target Disciplines & Educational Standards

• Mechanical Engineering: Focusing on static and rotating equipment, piping, and refinery maintenance.
• Electrical Engineering: Covering power distribution, instrumentation, and control systems.
• Civil Engineering: Specializing in structural designs, dams, and large-scale irrigation projects.

Eligibility: Minimum 3.0 CGPA or 70% marks from an HEC-recognized university. While Descon primarily targets graduates from prestigious institutions like UET, NUST, and GIKI, the program is open to any fresh graduate with PEC registration.

Program Benefits

• Hands-on Site Exposure: GTP trainees are deployed directly to active project sites.
