IIT BHU is one of the top 10 IITs in India, and many companies have easier access to this institution than MNIT Allahabad. But apart from this, MNIT Allahabad is a better option for you because of its good academics and resourceful campus life. So go with the option MNIT Allahabad
What is a better option, NIT Durgapur for chemical or NIT Rourkela for biotechnology?
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.
Is chemical engineering at jntuh is good?
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.
Which is the best option for chemical engineering, IIT-BHU, IIT Hyderabad or IIT Gandhinagar?
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.
What is the scope of a chemical engineering graduate from the IIT Hyderabad and Gandhinagar?
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.
- IIT Gandhinagar is known for its excellent academic standards and well-led student research facilities.
- The institution offers full-time undergraduate BTech courses in Chemical Engineering.
- The fees for the first year are around INR 2.29 Lakhs.
- The placement scenario for the chemical engineering department was good with the median package being INR 14 LPA and the average package being INR 14.82 LPA.
Should I prefer BITS Pilani Computer Science or IIT KANPUR Chemical Engineering?
According to my knowledge, IIT Kanpur Chemical Engineering will give you a better perspective even in your noncore fields. So if you get a chance in IIT K then just go for it, it's one of the finest IITs in India, and the experience you will get there is incomparable.
- IIT Kanpur is situated in a developed place though not much but better than Pilani for sure. Also, connectivity is good.
- Chemical engineering is a Good branch with lots of opportunities.
- Fees- IIT Kanpur fees for 4 years is 8 lakhs while BITS fees is around 19 lakhs.
- IIT Kanpur has a NIRF ranking of 4 while BITS Pilani has an NIRF ranking of 25.
- The median salary of BITS Pilani is 18.2 LPA while the median salary of IIT Kanpur is 22.07 LPA
- More than 250 companies like Microsoft, Fujitsu, Samsung, Reliance, Goldman Sachs, and McKinsey visited IIT Kanpur campus in 2023.
- Great alumni - No doubt BITS also has alumni at par with those of IITs but the thing is that all IITians prefer IITians, by that I mean to say that no matter whether that guy sitting there is from IIT Bombay or Kanpur or any IIT for that matter, they will prefer any IITian over BITSian if no other criteria are available for differentiation.
How good is chem engg in IGIT sarang regarding placement? I have option of joining Chemical @ IGIT or CSE at Silicon bbs Suggest me which one to join.
The stream in which you wish to make your career is more relevant than knowing about the college that you choose, as the chief problem is the stream that you choose.
As per the listed choices, it would be better to choose Computer Science from Silicon BBS over Chemical at IGIT. The reason is that the faculty of IGIT Chemical engineering is not very impressive. Most of the teachers there are recent graduates recruited due to a lack of qualified faculties.
As the campus of IGIT is isolated from the town, very few companies visit there for the campus whereas, Silicon has a location advantage. It is more like a school as it has strict attendance rules. However, their placement record definitely makes up for it.
What should i choose between IIT Indore (cse) and IIT Delhi (chemical engineering)?
