How is chemical engineering at IIT Madras?

SD
Shweta Das Posted On : March 28th, 2023
Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (2019)

My sister recently completed her BTech in Chemical Engineering from IIT Madras and being interested in Core only, she shared her experience.

  • Curriculum: The courses under Chemical Engineering usually are Transport Phenomena (Mass, Heat & Momentum Transfer), Reaction Engineering, Process Control & Economics. Most of these courses covered obsolete ideas and idealistic scenarios that were hardly industry relevant.
  • Professors: The best professors teaching core courses are Prof. Shankar, Raghu, and Niket which one gets by luck only. The best professors teaching electives are Prof. Tangirala, Pushpavanam, and Shankar Narasimhan who teach a lot of high-tech stuff.
  • Job prospects: A BTech graduate in Chemical Engineering can expect roles such as Process Engineer in companies like Shell, or a Field Engineer at Schlumberger. Honestly, a UG has fewer opportunities in India and only a higher degree in Chemical Engineering can open better opportunities for you such as R&D roles in companies like HUL, ITC, and Shell.
  • Research: This branch is well known for its research culture both Computational and Experimental. Computational research is conducted in fields like process modeling, signals, multivariate data analytics, and process optimization, whereas experimental research at Chemical Engineering Laboratory and Combustion Research Centre is conducted in pyrolysis, catalysis, nanotechnology, fluidized beds & columns, etc.
  • Miscellaneous: Chemical Engineering students have a lot of free time on their hands which helps them focus on hobbies, side projects, passions, and non-core interests. They are also free from strenuous lab sessions and assignment deadlines.

Overall, the chemical engineering program at IIT Madras is considered to be of high quality and is a great choice for students interested in the field.

Is chemical engineering at good choice at NIT Warangal?

SS
Shivani Singh Posted On : September 6th, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Warangal (2019)

Chemical Engineering is good at NIT Warangal. If you are really passionate to the core, then you will get placed in a decent company.

Frankly speaking, the students from the Chemical Engineering branch utilize their free time to learn programming languages, and they prefer software jobs. The job opportunity ratio is relatively higher in the software field than in the Chemical Engineering field. So make a wise decision by giving initial preference to your interest

MNIT Jaipur

Here are some details about Chemical Engineering at MNIT Jaipur-

MNIT is a better choice than most other colleges for B.Tech Chemical Engineering. It offers better placements, faculties, and facilities for Chemical students.

The coursework provides a deep understanding of unit operations. For placements, core companies like Samsung Engineering, Reliance, TCE, Bhushan Steel, DCM, JSW Steel, CB&I, etc. visit the campus each year. Other than core companies, some tech/consultancy firms also recruit Chemical students from MNIT. 

Overall, MNIT Jaipur is a good choice for Chemical Engineering.

How is SVNIT for chemical engineering?

AS
Amit Sharma Posted On : January 6th, 2024
Studied at NIT Surat

I am an alumnus of B.Tech Chemical at SVNIT. 

According to me, it all depends on your interest. This branch fills at the end, at least this was the scenario when I joined SVNIT. But it offers decent placement opportunities. 

Unlike other institutions, the major courses like Heat Transfer, Mass Transfer, Fluid Flow, etc. are all taken up by Professors and Associate Professors, and not Teaching Assistants. Teaching is up to the mark, given that you are interested in the subjects. 

Core companies like Reliance, Cairn, GNFC, BASF, Lupin, etc. visit the department and recruit most of the B.Techs at decent pay packages. Some students crack GATE and opt for higher studies in India, and some others go on to do research work in reputed universities in the USA. 

This is all the important information regarding Chemical Engineering at SVNIT.

Is chemical engineering from Thapar University a good option?

DC
Dhruv Chowdhury Posted On : August 4th, 2023
studied at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (2020)

Thapar University has one of the oldest Chemical Engineering departments but now its situation is not very good.

  • Core placements are very limited. Mostly companies like J.PMorgan and ET medial-abs recruit students from these branches.
  • Over the past few years, Thapar University has been solely focusing on its CS department as a result of which the other branches are suffering drastically.
  • The curriculum of Chemical Engineering at Thapar University is obsolete and irrelevant to the industry trends.
  • Thapar University is increasing the fees every year so people with financial constraints should reconsider.
  • The professors are average and not what you expected
  • The chemical engineering students have long study hours around 30 hrs/week.

I will suggest you to go some other institute preferably a NIT that charges less fees and offers better opportunities.

Which is the better branch between mechanical engineering and chemical engineering in MNNIT Allahabad?

SA
Shibu Ahuja Posted On : November 28th, 2023
Studied at Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Allahabad

I am a student of B.Tech Chemical at MNNIT Allahabad. Here is some information to help you arrive at a conclusion-

  • Placements- Chemical has better placements. Its batch strength is almost one third that of Mechanical. Moreover, a good number of companies visit the Chemical department with job offers. The average package for Chemical and Mechanical is 10 LPA and 7 LPA respectively. In recent years, the Chemical department has attained 100% placements, while Mechanical receives around 80% placements.
  • ESE- For Engineering Services (IES), you’ll have to choose Mechanical Engineering as Chemical students can not give ESE.
  • GATE- Both Chemical and Mechanical are equally good for public sector jobs/ M.Tech/ Phd. The competition is much higher in Mechanical, but the number of vacancies in PSUs through GATE is also higher for it. 

The GATE syllabus for Chemical is comparatively smaller.

  • ISRO/ BARC/ DRDO- Both the branches carry equal opportunities in these areas.
  • PSU through campus- Branch toppers are selected by PSUs for placements. The selections are made on resume based shortlisting, GD and interview. Companies like BPCL, GAIL and IOCL visit the campus for recruitments. Sometimes GAIL does not allow Mechanical students to sit for placements. Thus, Chemical students have better chances of placement in PSUs. The smaller batch strength of Chemical is a big aid in placements. 

Both the branches are good in their own way. You should select the one that suits your goals and future plans.

Should I choose NIT Jamshedpur for a CS/ECE or NIT Allahabad in chemical? Can I go for a branch change next year?

AA
Aarti Ahuja Posted On : September 4th, 2023
Lives in Allahabad

NIT Allahabad is a better choice than NIT Jamshedpur, especially for CSE. If you are not getting CSE, try going for IT because the branches are somewhat similar. Moreover, NIT Allahabad has options for internal sliding too so you can try your luck there. Chances of sliding to CSE are rare so you can try going for IT instead. 

Also, If you are considering joining a core branch, except CSE, IT, and ECE, remember that you will have to appear for GATE in the last year to get a job in PSUs.

Particulars

NIT Jamshedpur

NIT Allahabad

Fees

INR 1.88 Lakhs (BTech 1st Year Fees)

Shivani Bansal Posted On : November 8th, 2023
Studied at Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology, Bhopal

I recently graduated from the Department of Chemical Engineering at MANIT Bhopal. 

The department has experienced, helpful and friendly professors, especially Dr. S. Suresh, Dr. Sunder Pal, and Dr. K. Suresh. The contract faculty mostly focuses on your mugging up skills, but the courses taken up by permanent teachers are really interesting and knowledge providing. Around 80% of the B.Tech Chemical students are placed from the campus each year, at an average package of around 7.5 LPA. 

MANIT is a good choice for a degree in Chemical Engineering. You can consider this college for your higher studies.
