Chemical Engineering in India

Well, scopes in itself is quite a vague term. With scope you want to know about the job or about the field? Let us consider you want both. So, if you are wondering where would you land up after investing 4 precious years of your adoloscent life then let me tell you there are plenty of choices and scopes for you if you are capable enough. Oil and Gas sector:
Major PSUs are IOCL, HPCL, BPCL, GAIL, ONGC. Major private companies are Reliance, Shell, Essar, Mittal Energy Group etc. Other Sectors:
Fertilisers: National Fertilisers Ltd, Kribhco, IFFCO etc. Paints: Asian Paints, Berger Paints etc. Food and Other Processing: Godrej, ITC, P&G, TATA etc. Cement: Ambuja Cement, Ulteatech Cement, Lafarge etc. Energy Sector: Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL), Vedanta, Nalco etc. Note: These are NOT the only companies. I have just named a few. There are other big companies apart from these as well. Now, as far as government sector jobs or PSUs and the Fertiliser companies are concerned. You need to appear in th GATE exam. And if we have brought up the GATE let me tell you the other purpose for which this exam is used. It is used to get admitted into the M.Tech programmes at IITs and NITs and probably some other prestigious private and government funded universities. GATE is taken by the students who are in their 8th semester or those who have already graduated. It's score is valid for 3 years. So, if your question is related to the OTHER SCOPE I. e. the scope of the field then yes, it has a very bright scope as all the major IITs and NITs have proper M.Tech and Ph.D. courses for chemical engineering. After Ph.D. you can get yourself a job of a professor or in the R&D sector of a company. Apart from these companies, ISRO and DRDO also do offer jobs to chemical engineers but it all depends on the vacancies listed out every year by them. And if you have any plans of going out of the country then too u can easily explore by doing Masters in the field of chemical engineering, environment engineering, food engineering etc. I hope it would clear your mind about the scope of the chemical engineering :)

Hi Lav,
PCMB and PCM both are two different branches and thus you have to give a little extra attention than the students who opted for PCM or PCB.
It will be a very good choice. If you have the desire to do it then do it with full dedication.
All the best.
Chemical engineering jobs are high paying jobs. Chemical engineers have a lot of job options in manufacturing industries like tyre manufacturing, food, nanotechnology, biotechnology, mining process, synthetic fibers, plastic, power production, nuclear energy, material science, engineering design, etc.
Students, who dream to be in the research field, can fulfill their aim through this career, as there are some graduates who prefer to work in laboratories. A good number of students also turn into a chemical engineering professor in top institutes or universities.
These engineers have also the opportunity to work in government sector. Candidates can choose to work in defence establishment, atomic power plant, power conservation projects, recycling department or healthcare related projects. Chemical engineers are in demand throughout sectors.
