PDPU B.Tech Chemical Engineering: Fees 2025, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Pandit Deendayal Energy University (PDEU) in Gujarat offers a range of undergraduate programs requiring completion of 12th-grade education. The university is equipped with modern facilities and a supportive faculty, which is reflected in its lower student-to-faculty ratios during practical sessions. The exam structure includes midterms, internal assessments, and end-semester tests, which are of moderate difficulty, yielding a high pass rate. However, there are concerns about the curriculum's alignment with current industry needs.

PDEU boasts strong placement opportunities, with an average placement rate of 80-90%. Core branches offer a top package of INR 24 LPA, while average packages range from INR 6 to 12 LPA, and INR 8.30 LPA for MBA graduates. Renowned companies like Reliance, IOCL, and Shell recruit from PDEU. ICT and CS branches provide an average package of 5 LPA. Chemical engineering placements pre-COVID had an 80% rate and a peak package of 18 LPA in 2019.

In 2021, the highest CTC was INR 19 LPA. Internship opportunities include Corporate, Summer, and Rural Internships. Students are eligible for placements after the seventh semester with a minimum CGPA of 6.5. PDEU's tuition fees range from 2.4 to 2.5 lakhs per year, totaling 11-12 lakhs over four years, with additional hostel fees of 1.5 lakhs annually. Scholarships such as the merit-cum-means scholarship cover 50% of tuition fees from the second year for top students.

The Gujarat government's MYSY scholarship supports Gujarati residents, while TFWS and freeship card schemes assist SC/ST students. However, scholarship availability is limited, making it essential for students to maintain excellent academic performance to secure financial aid.
