I am a student of B.Tech Chemical at MNNIT Allahabad. Here is some information to help you arrive at a conclusion-

  • Placements- Chemical has better placements. Its batch strength is almost one third that of Mechanical. Moreover, a good number of companies visit the Chemical department with job offers. The average package for Chemical and Mechanical is 10 LPA and 7 LPA respectively. In recent years, the Chemical department has attained 100% placements, while Mechanical receives around 80% placements.
  • ESE- For Engineering Services (IES), you’ll have to choose Mechanical Engineering as Chemical students can not give ESE.
  • GATE- Both Chemical and Mechanical are equally good for public sector jobs/ M.Tech/ Phd. The competition is much higher in Mechanical, but the number of vacancies in PSUs through GATE is also higher for it. 

The GATE syllabus for Chemical is comparatively smaller.

  • ISRO/ BARC/ DRDO- Both the branches carry equal opportunities in these areas.
  • PSU through campus- Branch toppers are selected by PSUs for placements. The selections are made on resume based shortlisting, GD and interview. Companies like BPCL, GAIL and IOCL visit the campus for recruitments. Sometimes GAIL does not allow Mechanical students to sit for placements. Thus, Chemical students have better chances of placement in PSUs. The smaller batch strength of Chemical is a big aid in placements. 

Both the branches are good in their own way. You should select the one that suits your goals and future plans.
