Chemical Engineering at NIT Raipur will definitely be a good choice. As far as facilities and other parameters are concerned, here’s what you should know. 

Highlights:

• The department has well-equipped laboratories and classrooms. 
• As far as faculty is concerned, all professors and teachers are well-experienced individuals. You will also have good industrial guidance as all of them have that kind of knowledge. If you are interested in research work, this is also being carried out by quite a few of the faculty. You will have good mentorship here. 
• The institute is quite strict about attendance and academics.
• All the required software is available for the program, in the computer lab. They also have high internet speed there (around 75 Mbps).
• There is also an association of students and faculty that will help you socialize. It’s specifically for students from this department and known as the Chemical Engineering Association of NIT Raipur. They organize a number of events like seminars, departmental sports, and workshops.
• The department is also a student chapter of IIChE. This means it is a part of the Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers.
• Lab safety protocols are also followed in the lab with fire safety provisions in place.

Overall, this is a great place to pursue chemical engineering in. You should definitely go ahead.

One of my cousins studied at Amrita. According to him, chemical engineering at Amrita is superior and advanced in comparison with other colleges.

• The faculty is highly knowledgeable with a doctorate degree. Classes are conducted in the most interesting and pleasant way that’ll work on enhancing the skills of students.
• Although the resources are made available to the students based on their field of interest, it is on them to drill into all of it.
• The better they have an understanding of the provided resources the more developed their skills are.
• Moreover, the department encourages the students to take part in various projects that help them in obtaining a spot in internship and training programs.

However, the students do not get placements in core companies on their completion of UG course. Acquiring a job after higher studies would be less of a hassle. UG here would be a great choice.

Many students go through this dilemma after clearing their JEE Advance whether to choose Computer Science in a new IIT or to choose any lower branch in the old IITs. Following information can help you in taking the decision better:

• In case if Computer Science is your passion and you feel joy by solving logical problems patiently, then without any second thought, you should go for CS at IIT Mandi. You can easily get a good placement there or even pursue your research work there.

• If you are not well acquainted with coding then it is highly advisable to get exposed to it and then decide whether you genuinely enjoy it or not.

• IIT Kharagpur is a good choice if you go for Chemical Engineering as it is one of the most reputed institutes of India. CE is in great demand and will also be in the coming years. The course of CE at IIT Kharagpur is vivid, meeting the industry standards. The curriculum of CE is easier as compared to other branches like Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.
• You will have enough time and freedom to enjoy the college life and sharpen your other skills side by side which will eventually help you in getting jobs in the companies. Most companies call CE students for interviews and internships.
• IIT Kharagpur has a better ranking than IIT Mandi, because of which, if you plan to pursue MBA abroad after your B.Tech, you will definitely be getting an edge.

• The best part is that IIT Kharagpur allows you to change your branch at the end of one year. You can go for this option if you have scored a good CGPA in your first year but your change in choice should not be the sole purpose to join the college or the branch.

In short, I have discussed both the colleges (here IIT Kharagpur wins) and both the branches (here Computer Science wins). So, it solely depends upon the interests and priorities of the student whether to choose Chemical Engineering at IIT Kharagpur or CS at IIT Mandi. If you do not enjoy working with codes, then IIT Kharagpur will be the best option for you.

The stream in which you wish to make your career is more relevant than knowing about the college that you choose, as the chief problem is the stream that you choose.

As per the listed choices, it would be better to choose Computer Science from Silicon BBS over Chemical at IGIT. The reason is that the faculty of IGIT Chemical engineering is not very impressive. Most of the teachers there are recent graduates recruited due to a lack of qualified faculties. 

As the campus of IGIT is isolated from the town, very few companies visit there for the campus whereas, Silicon has a location advantage. It is more like a school as it has strict attendance rules. However, their placement record definitely makes up for it. 

NIT Rourkela now is the country's second-best NIT. It is well equipped with great laboratory facilities. NIT Durgapur is behind Rourkela's facilities and infrastructure. 

Now to biotech versus chemistry. Biotech is a new area and currently evolving. You will have good research and higher education opportunities if you study in this area. You can do a lot of research in this area. As far as investment is concerned, it is much less important because there is less core business.

It's a strong branch when it comes to chemical engineering. It is also a strong area if you are involved in science or higher research. More industrial than biotech is applicable in this area. Statistics are higher than biotech during the placement process. Like many good recruiting firms around the world. There are Govt employees, too. The most Maharatna companies in this sector, big government companies like IOCL, HPCL are some of the popular ones. 

Biotech is the best for you if you want to study and investigate. Many explorable areas. NIT Rourkela offers the best biotechnology laboratory facilities. For biotechnology, this is the best NIT. It's not successful placing-wise. Key firms are much lower, only non-core firms must be reliant. It's fine MoUs for Nit Rourkela. Too fine faculty. You are highly trained and experienced. If you maintain a good CGPA, you can also have good international internships.

You should have a clear idea of what you are going to pursue after the four years. This way you can focus on a particular college accordingly for your undergraduate degree. 

1. If you are aspiring to get placed then go for NIT Calicut. Mostly 3 to 5 core companies often visit for chemical engineering branch with very decent packages.
2. The campus life is worth living at NIT Calicut. You can enjoy various games at the hostel and special evening clubs are designed basically for holistic development. 
3. Another factor that makes NIT Calicut stand out is the politically passive environment where you can fully concentrate on your academics and engross yourself in the academics-related clubs along with some co-curricular activities.

The only disadvantage that NIT Calicut has is the weak alumni network due to the newly formed campus as compared to GEC Thrissur.

Along with the placements, the brand name of NIT when added to your resume can help you immensely for your future professional life. So think twice and consider all the factors before taking final admissions.
