The Dharmsinh Desai University (DDU) ranks in the band of 101-150 by NIRF 2020. The faculty has more than 52 years of experience in education. It has both undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

Tabulated below is a brief overview of the institute:

Admissions

• The admission tests considered are GUJCET, JEE Main and GATE with at least 50% in 10+2 is required for application.
• For Postgraduate students 50% in graduation is necessary.
• Final selection will be based on the scores of the entrance examination.
• The shortlisted candidates will be then called for a group discussion and personal interview.

Course Details

Chemical Engineering is a combination of experimental sciences, life sciences, mathematics and economics to design, develop, transform, produce, transport and operate energy and materials. It also includes physics, chemistry, biology, microbiology and biochemistry.

Placements

Recruiting Companies 

Millicon Consultant Engineers Pvt. Ltd., Shell, Balmer Lawrie and Co. Ltd., Ambuja Cement, GEA Ecoflex India Pvt. Ltd., GlaxoSmithKline, etc.

Course Scope

A chemical Engineering graduate can work at a Petroleum Industry, Food Industry, Electronics Industry, Rubber Industry, Textile Industry, Paper and Pulp Industry, Aerospace Industry, Plastic Industry, Cement Industry, Public Sector Units and Fertilizer Industry.

The scope of Chemical Engineering is not as good as the other core engineering departments. Placements, both on-campus and off-campus are difficult to obtain. Though employment of chemical engineers is projected to grow 6% from 2018 to 2028, The Demand for chemical engineer’s are growing gradually.

ICT Mumbai is a better option for chemical engineering. A friend of mine recommended ICT Mumbai due to certain major reasons listed below: 

• ICT Mumbai has a history of providing consultancy to several industries.They are provided with much-needed solutions. 
• Being a student of ICT Mumbai will give you a chance to gain theoretical knowledge as well as practical experience. ICT Mumbai will provide the students with practical and operational knowledge in abundance.
• The placement scenario is also good, the students will be interviewed and recruited by core companies.
• A student needs to understand and remember that chemical engineering doesn't account for chemistry. The students/engineers from this branch of science are expected to invent and design machines that will be capable of producing products with certain specifications.
• The product should guarantee the safety of the personal, equipment, and the environment at large, the product should be compatible with the utmost and proper utilization of resources.
• The inference of engineering knowledge into practical knowledge is what will make a student irreplaceable. This can be achieved through practical experiences, troubleshooting, and operational experience, all of which are available in Mumbai.

Therefore, the final choice should be ICT Mumbai for pursuing chemical engineering. Here is a presentation of some of the factual information:

ICT Mumbai is better than ISM Dhanbad from every aspect. The faculty is well read and has ample domain knowledge. They try their level best to help students with their doubts. I hope the information provided above helps.

M.Tech from IIT Bhubaneswar makes sense only if you are willing to study more on research-based topics of the subject. It is best if one is looking for a career in Teaching, Researching, etc. to further gain knowledge about the subject and not work in MNCs.

IIT Hyderabad ranks 8th in the Engineering category by NIRF 2020. The number of students who got placed from the Chemical Engineering department in the 2019 placements was 26. The average salary package offered to students with Chemical Engineering is 15 lakhs per annum.

IIST is a space institute under the Department of Space. The students from IIST are recruited as scientists and engineers in the Department of Space facilities and Indian Space Research Organization centers all over India. They receive a starting salary of 10 lakhs per annum. Facilities like Infrastructure, Library, sports facilities, Computer labs, clinics, Data centers in IIST are much better and well equipped than the IITs.

Thus it is your choice to opt for what course you are interested in.

The major factor that drives the decision of which course to pursue is the placements.

Chemical Engineering- IIT Roorkee

As per the 2018-19 placements record, more than 250 companies participated in campus placements, some of them were ITC, Reliance, Jindal Steel, TATA, and many more. Chemical Engineering Students at IIT Roorkee recorded an average placement of INR 13.05 lakhs per annum. A total of 8 PPOs were offered to Chemical Engineering students. Roles were offered for Technologist, Researcher, Data Scientist, Data Analyst, Consultant, etc. The placement rate for Chemical Engineering was around 80%.

ECE at IIT Bhubaneswar

ECE is one of the new branches of IIT Bhubaneswar and was introduced in 2016. Due to this, the first batch to pass out would be the batch of 2020. So there are no past records for this course. However, seeing the trend of placements for electrical engineering, the same can be assumed for ECE as well. In the year 2018-2019, 86% of the Electrical Engineering Department was placed. Companies like Amazon, INTEL Technology, ISRO, DELL, Thermax, Tata Steel, and many more visited to recruit students during campus placements. The average placement was recorded at INR Rs. 11.44 lakhs per annum.

EEE at IIT Mandi

As per 2019-20 placements, 62.5% of EEE were placed during phase-1 of campus placements. A total of 75 companies visited the campus and some of the top recruiters were Accenture, Wipro, CISCO, ISRO, CSC India, Siemens to name a few. The average package offered was 13.5 lakhs per annum. Several PPOs were also offered.

Considering the placements data, you should choose Chemical Engineering at IIT Roorkee. However, the final decision of which course and college to select rests up to you.

Honestly, the answer is No. One of my friends was in a similar situation and he did not get admission with a rank closer to this.

With the GNGL rank of 2,500, it would be very difficult for you to get into the chemical engineering program at IET Lucknow. The general rank is way higher.

I would strongly suggest you not settle for any random private college with this rank. It would be better to take a year drop.

However, if you have other options such as JEE Mains, you can try private colleges like LNMIIT, Thapar, etc.
