Choosing IIT BHU for Chemical Engineering is better than opting for CSE at MNIT Allahabad.
Chemical Engineering at NIT Raipur will definitely be a good choice. As far as facilities and other parameters are concerned, here’s what you should know.
Highlights:
Overall, this is a great place to pursue chemical engineering in. You should definitely go ahead.
The choice of an institute depends on 2 major factors, the credibility of the institute and the branch you are getting. In terms of the worth of the institute NIT Rourkela clearly overpowers NIT Durgapur. NIT Rourkela ranks second in East India after IIT Kharagpur.
NIT Rourkela Biotechnology is designed for students whose primary focus is pursuing qualitative research and g for a Masters's or Ph.D. That being said, it has limited job opportunities and the placement percentage is as low as 60%. Moreover, only a handful of core companies make offers and the average CTC offered is in the range of 5 -6 Lakhs.
NIT Durgapur Chemical Engineering is a suitable choice if you prioritize placements to research work. Even the core placements are decent here with companies like IOCL, etc visiting the campus during placements.
Ultimately, both institutes and branches offer diverse opportunities so you need to consider your inclinations first. If you are a research enthusiast, NIT Rourkela Biotechnology is great but if your first preference is earning money, then go for NIT Durgapur Chemical Engineering.
At present, the average salary for B.Tech Chemical graduates of Thapar University is around 8 LPA. Some recruiters for the department are- Reliance, OCCL, HMEL, JUBILANT Life Sciences, Ambuja Cement, Johnson Matthey, JSW Steel, Deloitte, Agilent Technologies, Honeywell UOP, Zunroof Tech Pvt Ltd, Tech Mahindra, and others.
The department placements are, unfortunately, declining year on year. The B.E. Chemical on campus placement percentage barely touches the 50% mark. And this figure is obtained by taking into account only eligible candidates. A few students receive PPOs in their internships while some are selected off campus in companies like Udaan(Hiveloop Technologies), Vardhman, Jaypee fertilizers, Ind Swift, Zomato, etc.
Thus, the placement figures are not very impressive for BE Chemical at Thapar University.
Heritage Institute of Technology (HIT) is a very popular engineering institute and if you are interested in pursuing Chemical engineering then you should definitely take admission in this college.
| Categories | Chemical Engineering at HIT | CSE at Techno India |
| Course Fee | 3.95 lakh | 6.32 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 12-15 LPA | 15-20 LPA |
| Average CTC | 5-6 LPA | 7-8 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | GlaxoSmithKline, Bengal Chemicals, etc. | Wipro, Infosys, Dell, HP, etc. |
Hence, both the colleges are very good with excellent placements and academics and it completely depends on your interests in which branch you would like to study and build your career.
Yes, chemical engineering at JNTU is good. If you are interested in chemical engineering, then it's the best place to pursue it.
Infrastructure: The Chemical Engineering branch started at the institute only a few years ago. It does not even have a specific departmental block. It shares the block of the Metallurgical department. CE also doesn't have their own labs. Students go to other departments to do their lab work.
Placements: The first batch of Chemical Engineering graduated in 2018 and it had good core placements. Companies like Vedanta, ITC recruit Chemical Engineering students. In recent years the average CTC offered at the institute is 9 LPA.
I will advise you to only opt for Chemical Engineering if you are interested. If a student needs only the tag and brand of JNTU then choosing a chemical branch will not be a good idea.
IIT BHU, IIT Hyderabad, and IIT Gandhinagar are all premier institutes of India. There are three parameters on which we can differentiate these institutes for Chemical Engineering.
The first one is the academic curriculum. The academic curriculum of IIT Gandhinagar is relatively better than the other two institutes since its curriculum is new and according to the latest advancements in science. Also, a lot of research work is going on in IIT Gandhinagar in the field of chemical engineering.
The second factor is the infrastructure of the campus, in this IIT Hyderabad has an edge over the other two IITs. The infrastructure of IIT Hyderabad is the best amongst these three colleges and the chemical engineering department is also equipped with the latest instruments.
The third and the most important factor is placements in which IIT BHU is a little ahead than these two institutes. IIT BHU is ranked amongst the top 5 colleges in India in terms of placements. In 2019 placement drive a total of 104 students from Chemical Engineering got placed and the average salary ranged between 10 LPA to 58 LPA. Chemical engineering students at IIT BHU get placed in core companies like ONGC, IOCL, HUL, Reliance, etc, and several non - core companies like Microsoft, PhonePe, Flipkart, Goldman Sachs, etc. IIT Gandhinagar is also good for placements in chemical engineering since many private chemical firms are situated in Gujarat but being a new IIT, its alumni strength is not so impressive. There was over 80% placement in IIT Gandhinagar last year with average CTC 8.96 LPA. In IIT Hyderabad, 26 students from Chemical Engineering got placed with an average CTC 15.5 LPA.
All three IITs have their pros and cons which makes it difficult to choose the best.
Well, I don't have much idea about the scope of a chemical engineering graduate from IIT Hyderabad but I can surely share some insights on IIT Gandhinagar.
Chemical Engineering at BITS Pilani offers amazing placements in other fields such as IT/CSE/ETC and others. But one of my friends studying chemical engineering there said he is quite uncertain about it.
Top-notch leading electronics companies such as Intel have their base in the USA with 40% of its engineers as chemical engineers. Intel in India does not have a lab in which chemical engineers work. They have desk work in India.
But if you pursue your higher studies and apply for a job in the USA then you might get selected in the USA.
One of my cousins studied at Amrita. According to him, chemical engineering at Amrita is superior and advanced in comparison with other colleges.
However, the students do not get placements in core companies on their completion of UG course. Acquiring a job after higher studies would be less of a hassle. UG here would be a great choice.
