Chemical Engineering and computer science are two completely different subjects, even though they belong to one broad stream of Engineering. The student needs to decide first your stream of specialization, which course they are interested to study. If your answer is chemical engineering then ICT Mumbai is the best option. 

There should be three solid reasons behind a student selecting ICT Mumbai, which are:

• The quality of education, faculty, and placements is on par with the IITs. The ICT Mumbai campus is known for its lively culture along with the organization of multiple technical and cultural fests. 
• A student will enjoy an out-and-out exposure, gaining theoretical knowledge in class and simultaneously putting them into practice during their practical ventures. 
• The placement rate in ICT Mumbai is good, the only set-back is that it is restricted to chemical engineering only.

If a student has decided to study chemical engineering and his following plans are along the lines of the reasons mentioned above, then ICT Mumbai is his/her place to be.

ICT Mumbai is only best in chemical engineering, not computer science. Similarly, COEP is the best for computer science and not chemical engineering. Therefore, the student should get a surety on the subject they want to pursue and then go to the college that is best for that particular stream.
