Q: What is a better option, NIT Durgapur for chemical or NIT Rourkela for biotechnology?

The choice of an institute depends on 2 major factors, the credibility of the institute and the branch you are getting. In terms of the worth of the institute NIT Rourkela clearly overpowers NIT Durgapur. NIT Rourkela ranks second in East India after IIT Kharagpur. NIT Rourkela Biotechnology is designed for students whose primary focus is pursuing qualitative research and g for a Masters's or Ph.D. That being said, it has limited job opportunities and the placement percentage is as low as 60%. Moreover, only a handful of core companies make offers and the average CTC offered is in the range of 5 -6 Lakhs. NIT Durgapur Chemical Engineering is a suitable choice if you prioritize placements to research work. Even the core placements are decent here with companies like IOCL, etc visiting the campus during placements. Ultimately, both institutes and branches offer diverse opportunities so you need to consider your inclinations first. If you are a research enthusiast, NIT Rourkela Biotechnology is great but if your first preference is earning money, then go for NIT Durgapur Chemical Engineering.

Q: Which is better for Chemical Engineering, NIT Rourkela or ICT Mumbai?

My suggestion will be the Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai. The reasons are mentioned below. It is solely dedicated to chemical engineering, unlike NIT Rourkela. It is famous for producing brilliant chemical engineers for years now. It has location benefits as Maharashtra and Gujarat are home to many industries. This helps in easy internship opportunities and placements also. Many good companies and even PSUs participate in the campus placement drive. Even if you have low CGPA points, you will get hired if you do well at the interview. The professors are the best in their respective domains. They also have good connections in the industry. They can help you get placed in any industry with just one letter. Chemical engineering is a part of many departments in NIT Rourkela or any other NIT but ICT Mumbai specializes in it. Hope it helps.
