Where is the best for chemical engineering, NIT Jaipur, NIT Bhopal, or NIT Calicut?
All the mentioned NITs are among the top engineering institutes in the country. Out of all the NITs in India, the best choice is NIT Rourkela. As some of my friends studied there I might be able to give you some reasons. These are:
- NIT Rourkela is famous for its Chemical Branch.
- The research culture of the institute is outstanding.
- The institute has been ranked 16th in the NIRF Ranking for Engineering 2020. It is way above all the three institutes mentioned.
- The JEE Main cut-offs are high. So, only the best students get a chance for admission.
- The college also encourages diversity.
The fee and chemical branch placement details are as follows.
| Categories | Chemical at NIT Rourkela |
| Fee | INR 8.22 Lakhs |
| Minimum Package | INR 3.6 LPA |
| Average Package | INR 6.58 LPA |
| Highest Package | INR 22 LPA |
The top recruiters include L&T, Reliance, Tata, P&G, Parle, ACC Cement, Aditya Birla, IOCL, PGCIL, NTPC, GMR Energy, GlaxoSmithKline, and more.
Overall, NIT Rourkela is an excellent choice. After CSE and EC branches, the Chemical branch recorded the highest placements. The return on investment of college is decent. But you should opt for it only if you can deal with and function under strict regulations and laws.
Is chemical engineering at jntuh is good?
Yes, chemical engineering at JNTU is good. If you are interested in chemical engineering, then it's the best place to pursue it.
Infrastructure: The Chemical Engineering branch started at the institute only a few years ago. It does not even have a specific departmental block. It shares the block of the Metallurgical department. CE also doesn't have their own labs. Students go to other departments to do their lab work.
Placements: The first batch of Chemical Engineering graduated in 2018 and it had good core placements. Companies like Vedanta, ITC recruit Chemical Engineering students. In recent years the average CTC offered at the institute is 9 LPA.
I will advise you to only opt for Chemical Engineering if you are interested. If a student needs only the tag and brand of JNTU then choosing a chemical branch will not be a good idea.
Should I choose NIT Calicut CSE or IIT BHU chemical Engineering?
If you are interested in coding and aim to work in good corporate firms, then it is suggested that you go for CSE at NIT Calicut. But if you want an IIT tag, you can opt for IIT BHU. But this won't matter much afterward.
So, if you are focused on doing research then Chemical Engineering at IIT BHU will be a good option. You can also learn coding on the sidelines, which might be beneficial if you sit for placements.
| Parametres | CSE at NIT Calicut | Chemical Engineering at IIT BHU |
| Tuition Fee | INR 16,000 | INR 6.7 LPA |
| Placement Percentage | 73.5% | 71% |
| Average Package | INR 11.57 LPA | INR 16.27 LPA |
The choice of studying in a college pursuing a particular subject is entirely up to you. Check where your strengths and weaknesses lie and then choose accordingly. Both institutes are good in their own way. But it is your hard work and dedication that will prove if CSE or Chemical will be good for you.
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.
How is the chemical engineering branch in Haldia Institute of Technology? Should I join?
Chemical Engineering at Haldia Institute of Technology used to be one of the best courses at the institute. But with years the condition of this branch has gotten worse. The old faculty members have retired. The current faculty base is not that great.
I have a few friends from the institute and according to them, if you are keen on exploring the field of chemistry then Haldia would not be one of your best choice institutes. But the placements here are decent. In the 2020 placements, the highest and average CTC offered was 3.5 LPA and 24 LPA.
Is NIT Calicut civil or chemical better in terms of placements and scope in future?
If you are a Civil student, my advice to you would be to prepare for the GATE exam once you are done with your degree. The placement is quite low for core companies. Many students also follow the same.
Chemical students are known to focus on jobs and have a good placement in analytics and software-based companies. Many of the top ones also land core jobs.
My suggestion would be to check the syllabus and pick the subject you like. You will realize which subject has good scope and what does not. As far as Civil is concerned, most students land jobs at L&T. But, they will make you work a lot and you will not be satisfied with the pay. This is not the case with Chemical engineering.
What should I choose, chemical engineering at NIT Calicut or ECE at IIIT Jabalpur?
Chemical Engineering and ECE, both the branches are in demand. The major scope of Chemical Engineering is in chemical, food processing, pharma, medical industries, oil, and gas, etc.
The major scope of ECE is in android, mobile, and telecommunication. The majority of the students prefer ECE because of two reasons. The first reason being comfort. Secondly, after acquiring skills in programming languages, it is easy to switch to the IT or software field.
Here is a brief overview of CE at NIT Calicut and ECE at IIIT Jabalpur.
| Institute | NIT Calicut | IIIT Jabalpur |
| Average CTC | 11 LPA | 9.9 LPA |
| Highest CTC | 43 LPA | 23 LPA |
| Major recruiters | CISCO, Bosch, TATA Group | IBM, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft |
| Course fee | 2.08 lakhs | 5.29 lakhs |
If you don’t have any particular inclination towards any branch you can go for ECE at IIIT Jabalpur.
What branch should I take, chemical in IET LKO or information technology in BIET Jhansi?
Decide a branch that you prefer, after that go through the colleges of that particular branch. Pay attention to the college’s overall performance, placements, faculties, location, etc. as they are the major factors.
- If you are inclined towards the IT sector and love coding then you should definitely choose IT. It will help you gain multiple opportunities in your career in the private sector.
- If you are interested in building your career in the public sector, then the Chemical branch at IET Lucknow will be a better option.
- You will get enough time for the preparation for exams like GATE or even PSU.
- The Placement scenario at IET Lucknow for the Chemical branch is good. 64 students have been placed in the year 2020.
- The Placement scenario in BIET for IT is average. Few good companies visit the campus for placement for IT.
| Categories | IET Lucknow | BIET Jhansi |
| Highest CTC offered | INR 25 LPA | INR 16 LPA |
| Average CTC offered | INR 8 LPA | INR 9 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Aditya Birla Group, Indian Oil, NTPC, ONGC, YARA, Tata Chemicals, HP, etc. | Adobe, HCL, Tech Mahindra, COMNET, L&D, Amazon, MTree, Binplus Technology, PayPal, etc. |
The scenarios may change in the coming future. It is important to talk to recently passed out students of these colleges to know the current scenarios before making the decision.
Should I join MANIT (NIT Bhopal) Chemical Engineering while I get CSE at IIIT Sri city? I've no particular inclination towards any branch.
Why do you want to opt for engineering? Is it because you enjoy Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics? If that’s the reason, then there are two possibilities for you.
Joining IIIT Sri City for CSE-
- You can sharpen your coding skills and work better on Computer Science learning more about ethical hacking, cybersecurity, etc. This is how CSE would prove to be fruitful to you.
- But if we perceive the other side of the situation, if you do not hold any interest here, you might find it hard to cope with and eventually lose interest. Since IIIT Sri City is a new college, it will not be able to impart the essential communication/soft skills to you.
Joining Chemical Engineering at MANIT Bhopal-
- Apart from developing a great interest in Chemical Engineering, you have the opportunities to either go for higher education via GRE or ensure placement via GATE.
- But again, comparing the other side of the situation, if Chemical Engineering does not spark your interest, you can go for other domains like Management. MANIT offers all the adequate communication/soft skills that would be essential for that.
If you have no particular inclination, then choosing CSE may be better. As it has two domains, i.e. coding and non-coding. Plus, the internet is full of great ebooks and tutorials to teach you.
Which college is better: NIT Surat chemical or NIT Surathkal metallurgy?
Considering the opportunities which may get available for you in the future, I would suggest you go for Chemical Engineering at NIT Surat as it would be a better option over metallurgy. As my sister studied there, I am very well aware of the college and its pros and cons.
- Many PSUs and organizations recruit students of the Chemical Engineering department from NIT Surat.
- Some of these PSUs which recruit from the college include BPCL, HPCL, IOCL, and COAL India.
- Many people consider NIT Surathkal to be better than NIT Surat based on incomplete information and the NIRF ranking released by the Ministry of Education, India.
