CSJMU B.Tech Chemical Engineering: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

The B.Tech in Chemical Engineering at Chhatrapati Shahu Ji Maharaj University (CSJMU), Kanpur is a 4-year full-time AICTE-approved undergraduate engineering programme offered under the University Institute of Engineering and Technology (UIET), School of Engineering and Technology. The programme covers core chemical engineering subjects including thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, reaction engineering, process control, and chemical process industries, along with practical lab work and project components. The annual fee is Rs. 90,200 with an intake of 90 seats (plus EWS supernumerary seats), and admission is based on JEE (Main) rank through CSJMU's own counselling process. The programme is popular among students in the Kanpur-Uttar Pradesh region due to CSJMU's NAAC A++ accreditation, its proximity to Kanpur's industrial belt (one of India's major chemical and leather processing hubs), and the relatively affordable fee structure compared to private engineering colleges.

Admissions for the 2026-27 session are currently open. The B.Tech Admission Portal for Registration and Choice Filling opened on 22nd April 2026. The counselling process is underway in multiple rounds through June-July 2026.
