Chemical Engineering

Research- You will find many chemical engineers involve in research. These are the guys that study processes and try to find out the best way to produce a thing on a large level, both safely and economically. They also try to improve existing processes. Some of the guys also work in hardcore Science like ionic chemistry (battery etc. ), nanotechnology, biotechnology (yup chemical engineers have really very wide options when it comes to research. )
Designing- If you have an interest in design you can opt for these type of jobs. These companies usually design a process and related equipment. They also design plants. Some of the companies include - Engineers India Limited (EIL), Flour, KBR, Shell etc. You can join these companies after your graduation. It's a normal office like work I. e. 9-5 job. EIL usually give 8.5 Lacs/annum to freshers. Production- These companies are involved in the production of materials on large scales. These includes fertilizers, petroleum, pharmaceuticals, etc. There are many companies in this field like ONGC, IOCL, BPCL, HPCL, GAIL, HUL, Proctor and Gamble, Reliance, Cairn, Tata Chemicals, RCF, Asian Paints, etc.

Chemical engineers work in offices as well as laboratories. They find employment at industrial plants, refineries and locations where they monitor or direct chemical operations. They usually work with design professional and technicians or work on-site. The industries that employ chemical engineers are as follows:
Architectural, engineering, and related services
Basic chemical manufacturing
Scientific research and development services
Resin, synthetic rubber, and artificial synthetic fibers and filaments manufacturing petroleum and coal products manufacturing biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies
Business services
Health-care industries
