The answer to this question depends on what you aim for after 4 or 5 years of your college degree. If you just want a placement and not particularly interested in a branch then you could go for any of those two branches as placement statistics are good for both in IIT BHU. There are enough opportunities in the non-core sector which generally comprise IT, developer, analytics, product management, business analyst, etc. These sectors don't look for a specific branch and rather require good communication and analytical skills.
Coming to the core sectors, both civil and chemical provide diverse opportunities in these areas. If you are someone who finds chemical processing and chemistry interesting, then go for chemical engineering. If you are the one who gets amazed by the interesting and defying structures, civil engineering should be your choice. According to 2019 placement statistics, 77 students from Civil Engineering and 104 students from Chemical Engineering got placed from IIT BHU.
Opting for civil engineering would open doors to exams such as IES, UPSC, GATE, and other state engineering exams. There are ample opportunities for civil engineering majors. And if you choose chemical engineering, you can go for higher studies or work for PSUs. So, both these branches at IIT BHU would provide enough opportunities to grow and explore and the end decision should be based on your interest.
The Civil Engineering department of NIET Noida is not at all satisfactory, considering most reviews available over the internet. There are several problems that students of Civil Engineering have to face in the institute, some of which are listed below in the following points.
Civil Engineering at NIET Noida is not a good choice as mentioned in the points above. You should look for better options.
In terms of Civil engineering, both the colleges, JUIT Solan and JUET Gunaare good colleges to learn from and for overall development. But the latter comparatively has an edge over the former.
Academics:
JUET Guna campus is sprawled in multiple folds, over more than 125 acres. The civil engineering lab at JUET GUNA is more equipped than JUIT Solan from what I have heard from many of my seniors. Due to the much bigger campus, you can use up the instruments more efficiently.
Placements:
As far as the placement is concerned, both are nearly the same. If you want to go to a non-core Job you can easily get it with good effort or else if you opt for core jobs then they conduct pool campus drives specifically at different locations.
Here’s a brief comparison of the Civil Engineering course offered by the institutes.
| Parameters | JUIT Solan | JUET Guna |
| Fees | INR 95,000 | INR 2.06 LPA |
| Placement Average | 70% | 72% |
| Average CTC | INR 5 LPA | INR 3.75 LPA |
Going by the factors mentioned above it is safe to say that JUET Guna will be a better choice for Civil Engineering.
However, this is a popular trend, and you don't have to follow it. It is best to make a decision based on your own individual preferences.
First, you should make up your mind regarding the domain you want to continue with.
Here are some information to make your decision easier:-
Before jumping to the conclusion, let us understand all the aspects of the college which can make you feel that it is good for you or not.
Other than that Heritage Institute of Technology is a good college. If you have no problem with the above-mentioned things then it is a very good choice otherwise it may not look so attractive to you.
Without a doubt, IIEST Shibpur is the definite better choice among the two institutes for Civil Engineering and is indeed one of the best Civil Engineering departments in the country. My friends who study at IIEST Shibpur boast about their college, that it is great in so many ways.
The points below state some reasons as to why -

The Bachelor’s in Technology Program at Jain University has been ranked at No. 7 in Bangalore by the National Institute Ranking Framework (NIRF). The B.Tech Program at Jain University with a specialization in Civil Engineering builds a strong foundation and offers to learn at an individual pace. It is an Eight Semester Program taught on campus, offering various career opportunities in India and Abroad.
Admission:
In order to study for the B.Tech Program at Jain University, the candidate must have completed their studies till the 12th standard and must have passed along with their compulsory subjects as Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry / Computer Science / Electronics with an aggregate of 60% in all the subjects mentioned.
Along with passing 12th grade, the candidate is required to give the entrance exam of JET to be eligible for admission at Jain University B.Tech (Civil Engineering) Program.
Placement:
The civil engineering branch at Jain University offers placement opportunities in various sectors, be it public or private, among Geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, hydraulic, environmental engineering, transportation engineering, or infrastructural engineering.
According to the placement statistics of 2019, 94.9 % of the batch was recruited.
The highest salary package announced at Jain University ranges around 30 LPA. Whereas, the average salary package offered is around 7 LPA.
Jain University also offers add-on programs in CADD using CYPE, STAADPRO, RIVET with BTech Civil Engineering. Students are also given the opportunity to do soft-skill development programs in certification as Fire Safety Building Technologist.
If you are a Civil student, my advice to you would be to prepare for the GATE exam once you are done with your degree. The placement is quite low for core companies. Many students also follow the same.
Chemical students are known to focus on jobs and have a good placement in analytics and software-based companies. Many of the top ones also land core jobs.
My suggestion would be to check the syllabus and pick the subject you like. You will realize which subject has good scope and what does not. As far as Civil is concerned, most students land jobs at L&T. But, they will make you work a lot and you will not be satisfied with the pay. This is not the case with Chemical engineering.
