Which will be best for an M.Tech in chemical engineering: ICT Mumbai, IIT Gandhinagar, IIT Guwahati, IIT Varanasi, ISM Dhanbad, or IIT Hyderabad?

In my opinion, IMT Mumbai is an excellent choice for MTech in Chemical Engineering. The best part about this college is its easy admission criteria that accept GATE rank 700-800 with an additional provision of the waiting list. Usually, 5-6 waiting lists get cleared. 

Here are a few points regarding the Institute 

• Curriculum: ICT has its own curriculum with a one-year classroom program. You won’t be learning any software like Matlab, Asphen, Hysis, etc., unlike IITs. The 2nd year is for lab work. One can even opt for a PhD abroad while pursuing their Masters but it largely depends on the quantum and quality of research.
• Fees: ICT Mumbai MTech in Chemical Engineering total fees is INR 1.42 L which is slightly higher than other IITs. Also, accommodation is done on the basis of rank and thus the waitlist students sometimes get accommodated quite late.
• Placements: Placements depend more on the individual's capabilities than the institute's worth and credibility. So it’s better to brush up on your skills and prepare well for the interview.
• Stipend: You will not receive your stipend regularly but can expect it around December.

All in all, ICT Mumbai has an excellent infrastructure and offers all amenities necessary for top-quality education.
