Which is better for chemical engineering, ISM Dhanbad or ICT Mumbai?

MR
Manish Raj Posted On : January 28th, 2021
M.Tech. Chemical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee

ICT Mumbai is a better option for chemical engineering. A friend of mine recommended ICT Mumbai due to certain major reasons listed below: 

  • ICT Mumbai has a history of providing consultancy to several industries.They are provided with much-needed solutions. 
  • Being a student of ICT Mumbai will give you a chance to gain theoretical knowledge as well as practical experience. ICT Mumbai will provide the students with practical and operational knowledge in abundance.
  • The placement scenario is also good, the students will be interviewed and recruited by core companies.
  • A student needs to understand and remember that chemical engineering doesn't account for chemistry. The students/engineers from this branch of science are expected to invent and design machines that will be capable of producing products with certain specifications.
  • The product should guarantee the safety of the personal, equipment, and the environment at large, the product should be compatible with the utmost and proper utilization of resources.
  • The inference of engineering knowledge into practical knowledge is what will make a student irreplaceable. This can be achieved through practical experiences, troubleshooting, and operational experience, all of which are available in Mumbai.

Therefore, the final choice should be ICT Mumbai for pursuing chemical engineering. Here is a presentation of some of the factual information:

Particulars 

ICT Mumbai

ISM Dhanbad

Placement rate(2020)

70%

65%

Average salary package (2020)

>4.5LPA AND <16.5LPA

>9LPA AND <43LPA

Fee structure(2020)

Rs. 85,350 (for the first year)

Rs. 8,80,000 

ICT Mumbai is better than ISM Dhanbad from every aspect. The faculty is well read and has ample domain knowledge. They try their level best to help students with their doubts. I hope the information provided above helps.

Should I join MANIT (NIT Bhopal) Chemical Engineering while I get CSE at IIIT Sri city? I've no particular inclination towards any branch.

AS
Ankita Sinha Posted On : June 15th, 2021
B.E. from Panjab University, Chandigarh (2020)

Why do you want to opt for engineering? Is it because you enjoy Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics? If that’s the reason, then there are two possibilities for you.

Joining IIIT Sri City for CSE-

  • You can sharpen your coding skills and work better on Computer Science learning more about ethical hacking, cybersecurity, etc. This is how CSE would prove to be fruitful to you.
  • But if we perceive the other side of the situation, if you do not hold any interest here, you might find it hard to cope with and eventually lose interest. Since IIIT Sri City is a new college, it will not be able to impart the essential communication/soft skills to you.

Joining Chemical Engineering at MANIT Bhopal-

  • Apart from developing a great interest in Chemical Engineering, you have the opportunities to either go for higher education via GRE or ensure placement via GATE.
  • But again, comparing the other side of the situation, if Chemical Engineering does not spark your interest, you can go for other domains like Management. MANIT offers all the adequate communication/soft skills that would be essential for that.

If you have no particular inclination, then choosing CSE may be better. As it has two domains, i.e. coding and non-coding. Plus, the internet is full of great ebooks and tutorials to teach you.

Which college is better: NIT Surat chemical or NIT Surathkal metallurgy?

RR
Rohit Roy Posted On : July 9th, 2021
Studied at NIT Trichy (2019)

Considering the opportunities which may get available for you in the future, I would suggest you go for Chemical Engineering at NIT Surat as it would be a better option over metallurgy. As my sister studied there, I am very well aware of the college and its pros and cons.

  • Many PSUs and organizations recruit students of the Chemical Engineering department from NIT Surat.
  • Some of these PSUs which recruit from the college include BPCL, HPCL, IOCL, and COAL India.
  • Many people consider NIT Surathkal to be better than NIT Surat based on incomplete information and the NIRF ranking released by the Ministry of Education, India.

Categories

Chemical at NIT Surat

Metallurgy at NIT Surathkal

Course Fee

5.63 lakh

5.45 lakh

Highest CTC

16 LPA

12 LPA

Which is better, PEC Chandigarh mechanical or MNIT Jaipur chemical?

RS
Riddhi Sarkar Posted On : July 7th, 2021
Studied at MNIT Jaipur (2019)

There are many things to consider while choosing a college such as placements, location, branch, choice, your expectations after 4 years of engineering life, etc.

If you have a liking for a particular branch then go to that college all things considered. Being a student of MNIT myself, I can say that, if you are only concerned about placements then MNIT Jaipur will prove to be a better choice.

The following data comparing the placements at both institutes will hopefully give you better clarity.

Categories

Mechanical at PEC Chandigarh

Chemical at MNIT Jaipur

Course Fee

6.39 lakh

6.56 lakh

Highest CTC

15 LPA

17 LPA

Average CTC

6.5 LPA

8-9 LPA

Recruiting Companies

Tata, JP Morgan, Amazon, MySQL, etc.

Hindustan Unilever, GlaxoSmithKline, Tata Chemicals, Carron Oil, etc.

However, if you are thinking of branch change after entering the college then MNIT Jaipur does not provide that option while PEC Chandigarh offers that option. So choose one according to what matters more to you.

How is the scope (placement and package) for chemical engineering at NIT Srinagar?

SG
Sheetal Gaur Posted On : September 19th, 2023
Studied at NIT Srinagar (2020)

I have to admit that the placement opportunities are not very satisfying and the packages offered are quite average.

Previous placement statistics reveal that the scope for chemical engineering at NIT Srinagar is not very satisfying. Last year 53 students enrolled for placements in the Department of Chemical Engineering, and 15 of them, or 28% of the total, were placed in key businesses including IOCL, GAIL, BARC, SAIL, etc. The average compensation package is 8 LPA, and the highest salary package is 10 LPA. Chemical engineering students were hired by analytics firms like ZS Associates, Vedanta, and others for an average pay package of 9 LPA.

Finding a job after completing a B.Tech degree in Chemical Engineering at NIT Srinagar can be a daunting task for many students. According to statistics, only a small percentage of students, around 9-10%, can secure a job right away. However, for those who do not find immediate employment, there is a viable option to consider. Preparing for and passing the GATE examination can open doors to better job opportunities and pave the way for future career growth.

Which will be a better choice, 5 year MTech in IIT Bhubaneswar or 4 year chemical in IIT Hyderabad or aerospace in IIST?

NR
Nikhil Raj Posted On : August 14th, 2020

M.Tech from IIT Bhubaneswar makes sense only if you are willing to study more on research-based topics of the subject. It is best if one is looking for a career in Teaching, Researching, etc. to further gain knowledge about the subject and not work in MNCs.

IIT Hyderabad ranks 8th in the Engineering category by NIRF 2020. The number of students who got placed from the Chemical Engineering department in the 2019 placements was 26. The average salary package offered to students with Chemical Engineering is 15 lakhs per annum.

IIST is a space institute under the Department of Space. The students from IIST are recruited as scientists and engineers in the Department of Space facilities and Indian Space Research Organization centers all over India. They receive a starting salary of 10 lakhs per annum. Facilities like Infrastructure, Library, sports facilities, Computer labs, clinics, Data centers in IIST are much better and well equipped than the IITs.

Thus it is your choice to opt for what course you are interested in.

Can I get a seat in a university in Amrita, Coimbatore in CSE or chemical engineering with a rank of 11,500?

RS
Rani Sengupta Posted On : July 16th, 2021
M.Tech from Amrita University (2018)

I have a few friends from Amrita University, so I can give you some information regarding the required cutoff for admission at the institute.

With this rank, you will get admission at Amrita University but for getting a CSE branch you will need a rank below 3000. If your rank is above 3000, then you may ask the management and you might get Bangalore or Amritapuri branch for the CSE.

If you are not in the Tamil Nadu state quota category you cannot get a seat with the counseling process, you will need to contact the college for more details. If you belong to the state quota then you might get preference and get the branch of your choice.

Can I get into the chemical engineering program at IET Lucknow with a general of 20K and a GNGL of 2,500?

SS
Shivani Singh Posted On : August 4th, 2021
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, Kamla Nehru Institute Of Technology

Honestly, the answer is No. One of my friends was in a similar situation and he did not get admission with a rank closer to this.

With the GNGL rank of 2,500, it would be very difficult for you to get into the chemical engineering program at IET Lucknow. The general rank is way higher.

I would strongly suggest you not settle for any random private college with this rank. It would be better to take a year drop.

However, if you have other options such as JEE Mains, you can try private colleges like LNMIIT, Thapar, etc.

Which should I opt for: chemical engineering at IIT Gandhinagar or CSE at BITS Goa?

CN
Chetna Nayyar Posted On : February 26th, 2021
Studied Mechanical Engineering at BITS Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa Campus (2020)

The preference is always given to BITS Goa as it belongs to the most reputed family of BITS institute. One of my friends has studied there and he loves the campus from all aspects.

The major reasons as to why BITS Goa is to be preferred are:

Scope

  • CSE has more job opportunities in the market as compared to other branches of engineering. 
  • If you even go for a core organization in the chemical field; the highest package is not more than 6 LPA. 
  • In the case of CSE, if you are into coding a good package can be cracked.
  • The highest package is close to 1.40 crore in BITS Goa. The average also stands at a decent place. 
  • The prominent recruiters are - ADM Argo, Adobe, Bajaj Auto, Capgemini, CGI, Cisco, DE Shaw, EXL Services, Razor Pay, Reliance Jio, Freshworks and Goldman Sachs.

Faculty

  • The computer science faculty cannot be compared with chemical engineering. 
  • CS faculty is amazing having well-equipped knowledge in the field to deal with real competition. They all are efficient in imparting real practical skill set to their students in a proper manner.

Campus

  • Goa is a place people look out for holidays, and having a college in Goa makes it even more fascinating and attractive. 
  • Certain limitations are also imposed on students. You cannot leave the campus before 5 PM and you should return back by 11 PM. 

BITS Goa makes it a better option on all fronts whether its faculty, campus, or scope. Having this outlook will help you get to a good institute. The stream can be a point of interest but other factors also matter.

Should I choose chemical engineering at IIT Kanpur or CSE at IIT Bhubaneswar or ISM Dhanbad? I am interested in pursuing higher studies and not really interested in a job right after a BTech.

A
Admin Posted On : June 12th, 2024

It is tough to compare IIT Kanpur, IIT Bhubaneshwar, and ISM Dhanbad. Still, being a Btech student from IIT Kanpur I think I’m better positioned to tell you the best according to my experience.

Faculty: IIT Kanpur boasts a highly qualified and experienced faculty, many of whom have obtained their PhDs from top institutions worldwide.

Research: Faculty members are actively involved in cutting-edge research and frequently publish in top international journals. They receive numerous national and international awards.

Industry: Professors often have strong connections with the industry, leading to collaborations, consulting projects, and opportunities for students to engage in real-world problem-solving.

So, in my opinion, you should go with IIT Kanpur as it is also known for its best-in-class education, and IIT Kanpur ranked 5 in the NIRF 2023 ranking list.
