Though BIT Mesra is a highly renowned engineering college, I would advise against joining any other branch at it except for CS/IT. The other branches are not very good placement-wise, especially when BIT Mesra is such a renowned college.
Core companies do visit the Chemical department for placements, recruiting a decent number of students each year. Apart from them, few Analytics firms and IT companies also recruit from the department. These IT companies include Infosys and Cognizant. Some of the department students clear exams like CAT or GATE, and as a result, go for higher studies/PSUs.
In 2022, from B.Tech Chemical Engineering (excluding Plastic and Polymer), 34 out of 45 students were successfully placed from the campus (43 were eligible for placements). The lowest CTC was 4 LPA, the average CTC was 8.44 LPA, the median CTC was 8.10 LPA, and the highest CTC was 12.84 LPA during these placements.
Thus, BIT Mesra is not a very good choice for Chemical Engineering in terms of placements.
BIT Mesra offers 2 undergraduate and 1 postgraduate program in chemical engineering; BE in Chemical Engineering, BE in Chemical Engineering (Plastics and Polymer), and ME in Chemical Engineering.
The recent placement statistics for Chemical Engineering at the institute are as follows.

Hope this gives you an idea about the course.
