The Indian Institute of Chemical Technology is one of the best institutes in India in terms of academics and skill development. This institute especially meant to teach the branches related to chemical and has a global tie-up with many high-class universities such as Cambridge University, Oxford and Stanford University. One can get into this institute only when they get a rank in advance that too not more than 12000. Although one can get into food engineering in IITs too at this rank, the ICT degree for it is worth more than IIT. Institute of Chemical Technology is more precise and placement oriented towards the non-famous branches. The placement is done in many food industries such as dominoes McDonald's KFC, lays, Nestle, Cafe Coffee Day. The main purpose of food engineer is to check the quality of food and analysis of it linking it to the budget of the product. The average placement being 11 Lacs while highest up to 25 Lacs range every year. So one needs an immense passion towards the chemical and should be eligible to get into the institution whereas dropping the idea of IITs.
