How are the placements of chemical engineering at IIT Kanpur?
IIT Kanpur Chemical Engineering placement scenario is excellent and much better than that at old IITs such as KGP and Delhi. The job opportunities offered are plenty and the packages offered too are decent.
IIT Kanpur does not release branch-wise placement statistics however, I got hold of the previous year’s placements that might help you get a slight idea of the placement scenario at IIT Kanpur.

Is chemical engineering at good choice at NIT Warangal?
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
How good is Chemical Engineering at 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?
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?
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?
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?
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.

How is Chemical Engneering at MANIT 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.
Which is better, a CSE at IIIT Delhi or an MCE at DTU?
As a third year student of MCE at DTU, I can only tell you about my college and branch-
- The curriculum of MCE is a mixture of Mathematics, Computer Science and Finance.
- This branch will equip you for a career in three fields.
- The focus is more on Mathematics, but CS is an important part.
- MCE offers good placements. Graduates get job offers from top brands like Amazon, Flipkart, etc. MCE gives competition to well-established branches like CoE, IT, SE, etc. in this aspect.
- DTU is a well-recognized institution with a strong alumni network. More than 250 companies visit the campus every year during the placement season.
- Mathematics faculty is top-notch, while CS faculty is average.
If you want to focus solely on programming, choose CSE at IIIT Delhi. MCE offers programming knowledge alongside advanced Mathematical studies. It will help you design and understand really complex solutions.
At the end, the choice must be based on your personal preference.
How is NIT Durgapur for placements in chemical engineering?
