Chemical Engineering

NITs are the premier engineering institutes in India. NIT Calicut is one these NITs and is pretty well known all over India. According to the National Institute ranking framework it stands at 44th rank among all the engineering colleges in India.
For Chemical Engineering out of 70 students who enrolled for placements only 38 were placed. Minimum salary offered was 4.5 LPA while the average salary offered was 7.4 LPA. Maximum package offered was 12.5 LPA. So the placements for chemical were decent at NIT Calicut.

IIT Kanpur is a prestigious institute that comes under the top three IITs (as per recent years record). The most preferred branches from IIT Kanpur are CSE, aerospace and chemical. Though, the best college for chemical one may find in IIT Madras, but IIT Kanpur is also no less than that.
The placement data shows an average placement of 13 lakh per annum, whereas the highest being 22 lakhs and the lowest being 7 lakhs.
The most interesting part of the academic curriculum in IIT Kanpur is its academic trips which one MUST be a part of being a part of the institution.
For example, every year, IIT Kanpur takes its students of aerospace branch to Germany for the live image of the propellers and the working of the aerodynamics vehicles such as plane, rockets, jet planes, etc.
Therefore, one may expect a skillful learning experience with the elite life of IIT.
Personally, if you are getting IIT Madras, IIT Kanpur or IIT Mumbai for chemical engineering, then definitely go for it.
Also, when taking the order, its Madras at no. 1, Mumbai at no. 2 and Kanpur at no. 3.
Thank you.
I hope it helped.

It was established in 1969 and is one of the oldest engineering branches in Manipal and has its reputation.
I can say that faculty is not 100% best, not more than 4 to 5 professors are good with their subjects. Professors are really good and are ready to help you. The course structure is pretty good and equivalent to BITS (HOD used to be from BITS).
Excellent chemical engineering laboratories - Mass Transfer, Heat Transfer and a State of the art Process Control lab. The computer lab equipped with all the engineering software - CAD, Aspen, Matlab.
Practice School Policy. Students can do their final year projects outside the institution like - CSIR labs, Honeywell etc.,
Coming to the important section placements if your goal is to get a job in service/IT industry then it's not a big deal. MIT doesn't have any sustainable relations with process industries so it's a challenge to find core chemical industries on the placement list. To my knowledge, these are the companies I've seen during my 4 years at Manipal:- Jindal Steels, Grasim textiles, Reliance, Mangalore refinery recruited students having 8 and above CGPA.

Agriculture, as well as chemicals both, constitute an essential part of one's life.
One fulfills the necessary food and grains necessary for living whereas the other constituting the products regarding daily care as well in medical purposes.
So both the branches find scope in the current and future world. One cannot distinguish both on the basis of the earnings as it may vary from person to person as well as locality.
Although it depends on person to person that which stream he/she wants to choose and want to pursue his or her career in.
One thing common in both the fields is that they provide a large scope in research.
When coming to campus drives and placements, the chemical aspirants have more packages offered than agriculture students and also have more chances of abroad placements.
So, practically one should go for the chemical branch for a better lifestyle in future. Also, it is difficult for one to get into chemical than agriculture.
At last, whatever branch you chose from the both, pursue it from a well-renowed government or automous institution or top private institution otherwise it may be a struggle for you after 4 years.
Thank you. Hope it helped.

Hi,
Employment of chemical engineers is projected to grow 2 percent from 2014 to 2024, slower than the average for all occupations. Demand for chemical engineers services depends largely on demand for the products of various manufacturing industries. The ability of these engineers to stay on the forefront of new emerging technologies will sustain employment growth.
Many chemical engineers work in industries that have output sought by many manufacturing firms. For instance, they work for firms that manufacture plastic resins, used to increase fuel efficiency in automobiles. Increased availability of domestically produced natural gas should increase manufacturing potential in the industries employing these engineers.
In addition, chemical engineering is migrating into new fields, such as nanotechnology, alternative energies, and biotechnology, thereby helping to sustain demand for engineering services in many manufacturing industries.
However, overall growth of employment will be tempered by a decline in employment in manufacturing sectors, including chemical manufacturing.
Chemical Engineers Job Prospects
The need to find alternative fuels to meet increasing energy demand while maintaining environmental sustainability will continue to require the expertise of chemical engineers in oil- and gas-related industries. In addition, the integration of chemical and biological sciences and rapid advances in innovation will create new areas in biotechnology and in medical and pharmaceutical fields for them to work in. Thus, those with a background in biology will have better chances to gain employment. Chemical engineers should have favorable job prospects as many workers in the occupation reach retirement age from 2014 to 2024.
All the best.

Hi there,
Food technology and biochemical engineering is about the science of food and processes involved in food making and production. Food technology and biochemical engineering help devise technology to battle situations like deteriorating food security, depleting energy sources, etc.
Jadavpur University is perhaps the best state university in India. It has always been among the top colleges in India.
Here are some insights of the college:
Intake:- 31
Placements:
Placements of food technology and biochemical engineering are quite good.
Average package:- 5 lakhs
Highest package:- 10-12 lakhs (food technology )
Recruiters:- Amazon, Cisco, Abbot, Axis Bank, PWC, Nestle, Cisco, Flipkart, MU Sigma, Qualcomm, Nvidia, IBM, Texas Instruments, Accenture, Deloitte, L&T, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, TVS, Vodafone, ARM, Nestle, Virtusa, Abott, ACS, Philips, Bosch and HCL.

If you have a keen interest in chemistry and you are thinking that Chemical Engineering is all about chemistry then you can be wrong. Chemical Engineering is not all about chemistry, it is something like an amalgam of chemistry and applied physics and other things. So, first, research and choose your branch wisely. Now coming to the question, IIT-Kanpur is one of the best colleges in our country and it is not advisable to lose any seat in the prestigious institute. Some of the recruiters are:
Reliance Industries Ltd.
Essar Oil Limited.
Deepak Fertilizers and Petrochemicals Corp. Ltd.
Gujarat Gas Company Limited.
Gujarat Alkalies & Chemicals Ltd.
Reliance Petroleum Limited.
Arofine Polymers Ltd.
Colour-Chem Ltd.
Opportunities are everywhere, you just need to find them. Just as it had been said, there are ways everywhere in the field of engineering. If you want a core job after the graduation, let me tell you some facts which I gathered from the internet. The average package is about 8 LPA and the percentage of students placed every year is around 76%.

Chemical engineering, unfortunately, sees swings every year with an average of 80% ratio of students getting placed.
Top quality recruitment companies include.
Hindustan Zinc Limited, Sun Pharma, Hutti Gold Mines Limited, Indian Rare Earths Limited, Biocon, OIL Limited, MSPL Limited, Glenmark, Dr.Reddy, National Aluminium Company, Fertilizer startups, Nuziveedu seeds, etc. These cover different areas like petroleum refining, Plant Process distillation, fertilizer technology, processing of food and drugs and agricultural products management, paints and dyes; recycling metals and refurbishing, glass and plastics; cosmetics, and mineral based industries for fractioning and cracking based roles.
Average package stands at 6 LPA and maximum is at 15 LPA for chemical engineering specialization.
However, past year the team for placements has been increased and should see more top companies participating for 2017-18.
Overall decent opportunities in the chemical sector with a wide variety of roles.
