What should I choose, MNNIT Allahabad chemical or RGIPT chemical engineering?

If you are considering a career in Chemical Engineering and are confused between MNNIT Allahabad and RGIPT, it's important to understand the difference in the placement and research opportunities in both institutions. Here is a detailed answer to help you make an informed decision: Placement Opportunities: MNNIT Allahabad is known for its good placement record, with approximately 70%+ placements in the Chemical Branch. So, if you are looking for a job after completing your course, MNNIT Allahabad could be a good option. On the other hand, RGIPT is a new college, and its placement record is not as established as MNNIT Allahabad. Therefore, if you are solely focused on getting placed after your degree, MNNIT Allahabad might be a better choice. Research Opportunities: If you are interested in research, RGIPT is a dedicated institute for Petroleum and Chemical Engineering. Therefore, it has a focused approach toward research in this field. On the other hand, MNNIT Allahabad offers Chemical Engineering as one of the branches under its curriculum, but it is not a dedicated institute for Chemical Engineering. Therefore, the research opportunities might not be as extensive as those offered by RGIPT. Both MNNIT Allahabad and RGIPT have their pros and cons. If you are looking for a good placement record and a wider range of branches to choose from, MNNIT Allahabad might be a good choice. However, if research is your primary focus and you are interested in Petroleum and Chemical Engineering, RGIPT could be a better choice for you.

Yearly fees is around 150000. It includes all kind of charges like tution, hostel, food and transportation charges. No extra money will be charges in any other form by the institute. this is fee structure for General and OBC students. For, SC/ST category students, there is significant relaxation in fee structure, which is almost 50% lesser. Institue provide "RGIPT schloarship" (3000 rupees per month) and "CHEVRON scholarship" to meritorious students. It will have reservaition consideration as well i.e. inclusive of OBC, SC and ST students. Institute functions on the standards of IITs and provide immense opppurtunity to grow. Considering these aspects fee structure is rational.

If you want to join Chemical Engineering, you can surely consider RGIPT

The fees is a bit high at RGIPT. There are financial assistance programs such as McM or Merit cum means scholarship offered by the institution which you can avail on your family income and GPA. State government scholarships and Reliance Scholarships are availed by majority of the students at our institution. You also get earn by becoming a TA (Teaching Assistant) in your third and fourth year if you have got the highest grade in that particular course.

RGIPT OVERALL REVIEW

The fee structure is quite similar to that of any IIT And when compared to the placement we get here, the fees are worth it. For students with poor financial backgrounds, educational loans are also available. RGIPT has a partnership with some banks which provides loans to their students.

College for those who doen't get the IITs

The overall fee structure for the first semester for B.Tech is Rs.1,30,000 and Rs.1,20,000 for the rest of the semesters. The extra Rs.10,000 is a one-time caution fee which is refundable. The tution fees are Rs.1,02,000 and the rest Rs.18,000 is for mess and hostel facility (this fee breakup was applicable at my time, college may change this fee breakup for upcoming years). College also provides a various scholarship for students who perform well in academics. There is two main scholarship provided by the college which is merit and merit-cum (especially for students having annual family income less than 5,00,000). Unfortunately, I don't have any information about the financial assistance provided by the college.

The course curriculum is very detailed here. Starting from the basic, it teaches you every thing you need to be an expert in this field. Indeed it is a combination of everything you need to be a professional. We also have highly knowledgeable faculty for the students here. They have vast experience in their respective fields and hence learning from them is always a good idea as far as it comes to academics.

RGIPT

College award merit and merit-cum-means based scholarship to top 10% the students in each batch. Cumulative GPA is considered to be parameters in deciding the awardees. Also, students with extremely good marks are appointed as tutor in that course. This is a paid appointment.
