Having a few friends from both institutes I might be able to share some facts about both the institutes. Chemical Engineering at UICET is better than Chemical at Thapar University or CSE at CCET.

• UICET is a well-renowned university and has a reputed department. 
• They have brilliant placement records and a strong alumni base.
• Laboratories and faculty at UICET are better than those at Thapar.
• Course fees at UICET for chemical engineering are very less than that in Thapar University. 
• Thapar is no doubt a well-reputed university but as far as chemical engineering is concerned UICET is better.
• CCET is affiliated with PU located in sector-26 Chandigarh. It is well known for its diploma courses.
• However, UICET is any day better than CCET in all terms.

Your preference order should be Chemical Engineering at UICET> Chemical at Thapar University> CSE at CCET.

My brother recently graduated from NIT Raipur as a chemical engineer. He got placed in Vedanta Resources with a salary package of around 8 LPA. 

Here are some pros and cons about choosing the institute which may help you.

Pros:

• The Chemical Engineering branch at NIT Raipur is very interesting.
• NIT Raipur is growing in all aspects, be it infrastructure, hostel facilities, laboratories, or placements.
• The institution follows the internal sliding procedure and hence, you can change to your branch of choice after the third semester. You just need to score a decent CGPA which is quite easy.
• Even if there is difficulty in placements of the core branches, having a good CGPA/ being an avid puzzler/ good at aptitude will definitely help you in getting placed. For boys, it is even easier since they are preferred over girls in the core sector jobs.
• There is no compulsory attendance guideline.
• You can easily take out time for self-study or coaching if you have plans for higher studies.

Cons:

• The professors are good but most of them do not provide ample time to the students.
• It is difficult to score a CGPA above 9 because the professors of the chemical engineering department are strict unlike the professors of other departments.
• The branch does not ensure 100% placement. It is difficult to get a core job.
• The laboratory lacks the best instruments and facilities.
• You will have to study intensively for a few subjects every semester.

Since your rank is 50000, it is doubtful whether you will have better choices to opt for. It is always better to go for a government college than a private college even if you go for a branch other than CS or IT.

If chemical engineering interests you, you will enjoy it in NIT Raipur but if you wish to go for some other branch, you can drop a year and reappear for the entrance exam.

My friend is an alumnus of IET Lucknow and according to him, with a rank of 5915, it will be hard to get Chemical Engineering. In his year, only a few general category students received Chemical in the fifth round with a general rank greater than 6k.

However, because the scenario changes every year, there is no certainty that you will get it. Also, given HBTI's split from UPSEE, getting into IET with this rank appears to be extremely difficult. It's all a matter of luck. 

According to the cutoff trends in recent years, the required cutoff for the Chemical branch is 2856 for General Category.

It is really exciting that people are interested in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. There are many other topics in chemical engineering that you will start loving when you start reading them. 

If you are genuinely interested in the subject then it will completely be your effort in approaching the professors to learn and to study more. 

There are not many professors in the department. Most of them are Ad-hoc teachers who will be teaching the subject. If you wish to go for higher studies, it will be your effort in asking the faculty to help you out. 

If you talk about the placement scenario, there are only a few core companies that visit the campus along with a lot of non-core companies. Overall, college life is good in the department of chemical engineering.

Assuming that you must have already gone through the essential details required for your decision as to your undergraduate course. Few points are being listed below to give you a better understanding of your area of concern.

• Faculty: The faculty at NIT Trichy is highly experienced and highly educated. One can say that they are proficient in their field of expertise. Some professors can give you a hard time but an easy college life would not be of much fun.
• Infrastructure & facilities: The labs are above average and a little outdated in comparison to other top-notch colleges in India. The lab assistants are however cooperative and are experienced. You will be allowed to use the labs of other departments.
• Internships: A majority of 50-60% of students manage to land internships during the beginning semesters. There are plenty of opportunities available and you will definitely experience things out of the box. The professors have excellent networking which you can surely make use of.
• Placements: You will be required to clear CTC (a system at NIT Trichy). If you clear it, you will eligible to apply for placements. The Chemical Engineering department consists of a low-class strength and the department has experienced over 95% placement rate. The companies visiting here are esteemed as well as some are startups.
• Higher Education: The brand name of NIT Trichy would help you in getting through some barriers in your future studies/career. You should mainly focus on maintaining a great CGPA in your course for smoothening your future ventures.

You must know that most of the subjects in Chemical Engineering require mugging of the theories. Be ready for it if you are opting for this branch.

The chemical engineering department in NIT Jalandhar is considered to be average, based on the faculty and availability of proper lab equipment. I know little about the Chemical Engineering department at NIT Jalandhar since one of my friends goes there. 

The table below gives a brief overview of the chemical engineering department of NIT Jalandhar.

Chemical Engineering:

There are some good faculties in the chemical engineering department, but very little lab equipment and proper experimental facilities available. Don’t opt for this branch if you have other alternatives. 

If you have already taken admission for chemical engineering at NIT Jalandhar, it is up to you to make the best of your degree. A steady self-study routine can help with that. 

Although in the past some alumni of the institute have successfully secured good GATE ranks. So there is a decent option for PSUs and M.Tech.

All in all, if you are determined and utilize your time well at the institute, you can definitely have good career prospects.

LNCT Bhopal is without a doubt Madhya Pradesh's most reputable private engineering college. In addition, LNCT is the only engineering college in Bhopal that offers Chemical Engineering among the 65 private engineering institutes. This institution provides appropriate guidance as well as practical analysis.

But Chemical Engineering at the institute does not enjoy the same exposure as branches like CSE or IT. If you want decent placement opportunities then you will have to work for them on your own. In 2021 placement drive Chemical Engineering students from LNCT were recruited by Indian Oil, Tata Chemicals, Reliance Petroleum, etc.
