You have done B.Tech in Electronics and Communication from NIT Srinagar, So you are not eligible for Masters in Petroleum Engineering.

Those candidates who have completed B.Tech/B.E degree from a recognized University with Petroleum Engineering are eligible for Masters in Petroleum Engineering.

Your age should be above 17 years.

It depends solely on your interest that what you want to do.

If you have interest in the subjects related to petroleum, then you may go for that.

As far as jobs are concerned, there would not be any big impact as the Oil companies take the electronics graduates at par with the Petroleum graduates.

So, there would be no much effect due to that.

Yeas, you can opt for it if you are interested in the field and it will be a good idea if you opt for it from abroad if you are interested in it. You should look for your interest and then go for it.

In Saudi Arabia if you opt for the course you wish to, I am sure you will be able to avail good job post over there and have a great career ahead.

No, you are not eligible to pursue your Master's in Petroleum Engineering after completion of your B.Tech course in Electronics and Communication Engineering. Only candidates who have completed Bachelor's degree in any of the following streams are eligible to pursue Master's in Petroleum Engineering course :-

--> Petroleum Engineering
--> Chemical Engineering
--> Mechanical Engineering
--> Production Engineering
--> Instrumentation and control Engineering
--> Industrial Engineering

Since, you have passed B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering, you are eligible to pursue Master's in Electronics and Communication Engineering.
