ICT Mumbai is a better option for chemical engineering. A friend of mine recommended ICT Mumbai due to certain major reasons listed below:
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.
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-
Joining Chemical Engineering at MANIT Bhopal-
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.
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.

Course Fee |

5.45 lakh |
Highest CTC |

6 LPA |
Recruiting Companies |
ONGC, DE Shaw, GlaxoSmithKline, Hindustan Unilever, etc. |
Tata Steel, Ambuja Cement, Tech Mahindra, Vedanta, etc. |
Choose wisely after performing a significant amount of research and analysis about the courses that you wish to get enrolled in from either of these institutions.
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.

Mechanical at PEC Chandigarh |
Chemical at MNIT Jaipur |
Course Fee |

6.56 lakh |

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Faculty
Campus
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.
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.
