How are the BITS GOA chemical placements?
BITS Goa placements are good for Chemical Engineering. During recent placement drive, students of Chemical received the highest CTC of around INR 25 LPA. While the lowest CTC offered was INR 10 LPA. The placement average for the branch is around 99%. Schlumberger, ExxonMobil, Reliance, Shell, etc. were some of the major recruiters that take part in the placement drive.
How are the placements of chemical engineering at Thapar University?
Thapar University placements are good for Chemical Engineering. Around80% of the students get placed from the branch each year. The average CTC for the branch is INR 7 LPA. While the highest CTC is around INR 15 LPA. Other than core job profiles, students are offered consultancy profiles as well. Reliance, HPCL, Asian Paints, etc. are some of the major recruiters to visit Thapar.
Which is better, chemical engineering from UICET PU Chandigarh, chemical engineering from Thapar University Patiala or computer science from CCET Chandigarh (affiliated to PU)?
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.
| Categories | Chemical Engineering at UICET | Chemical Engineering at Thapar University | CSE at CCET Chandigarh |
| Course Fee | INR 70,079 | 13.23 lakh | 2.45 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 18 LPA | 15 LPA | 12 LPA |
| Average CTC | 6.31 LPA | 7 LPA | 4-5 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Honeywell, Reliance, Pfizer, Piramal Healthcare, etc. | Reliance, GAIL, ONGC, GlaxoSmithKline, etc. | Infosys, Godrej, L&T, HCL, etc. |
Your preference order should be Chemical Engineering at UICET> Chemical at Thapar University> CSE at CCET.
What should I choose, VJTI compsc or BITS GOA chemical?
You should choose BITS Goa Chemical. You will get better placement and exposure. BITS Goa placements 2021 had an average CTC of INR 9.05 LPA. While the highest CTC stood around INR 16 LPA.
You can also opt for the dual degree program at BITS, this will give you exposure to various branches of Engineering, during the first year. If you score a good GPA in your first year, you will be able to take the engineering branch of your interest.
Which one is better: chemical engineering from University of Chandigarh or production and industrial engineering from PEC Chandigarh?
The University of Chandigarh and Punjab Engineering College are equally good. It finally depends on you and what you are passionate about, as chemical engineering has a broader curriculum than IE.
Students opting for Chemical Engineering can specialize in the fields of Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics, Polymer Science & Technology, Energy Management, Biochemical Engineering, Separation Processes, Reaction Engineering, Pulp and paper, and Environmental Engineering.
Industrial Engineering is somewhat similar to Mechanical Engineering but not quite. Students will get to learn about manufacturing processes, manufacturing systems, systems engineering, IT, Networks, basic shop floor communications, and much more.
In the following table, you will get basic information about the colleges -

INR 3.5 LPA |
But the Production and Industrial Engineering Branch of Punjab Engineering College is better. It also gives lots of opportunities to students both in education and placement. Also, even if you go for chemical engineering, you will for IE.
Therefore, choosing Production and Industrial Engineering from Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh is a better option than Chemical Engineering of Chandigarh University, as it has more opportunities.
What was the CGPA of the student who grabs the highest package at Haldia Institute of Technology in chemical engineering department?
One of my brothers was placed in a prominent company through on-campus placement. As per his experience, CGPA isn’t required for the process of getting a good job.
He scored 9 CGPA and many of his friends scored less than him yet they were successfully placed in prominent companies. The reason behind this is that marks hardly matters when recruiters visit campus moreover, they are all focused on your knowledge and skills.
Getting a good placement is definitely a dream for all the engineers but you definitely have to brush up on your skills and knowledge before sitting for the recruitment process.
What should I prefer between chemical at BITS Goa and CS at new IIITS (like Nagpur, Guwahati)?
You can opt to enroll in BITS, Goa for Chemical Engineering only if you are positive to pursue your career in that field, or if you are simultaneously planning for any in-depth research activities in chemical engineering-related fields in the upcoming years.
- It is also to be remembered that the campus placements for students in the chemical department of BITS, Goa is not the best.
- Unfortunately, very few core companies visit the campus for placement offers.
- Now, there are students who also tend to get placed at several IT companies which are nonetheless not very simple or easy-going as well.
- While, on the other hand, some get placed in various consultancy companies which allegedly do not take your degree into any specific consideration.
However, the older IIITs are comparatively better in terms of providing the best of everything, than it is in the newer ones. But, if you are personally considering the branch, then CSE has always been ahead of the list in terms of placement opportunities as opposed to Chemical.
How good is Chemical Engineering at BIT Mesra?
Comparably BIT Pilani will offer better career options for Chemical Engineering. Also, one of my friends attends BIT Mesra for Chemical Engineering, so I have some idea about the course at the institute.
BIT Mesra:
In his branch, there are 60 chemical engineering students and 60 polymer students. The size of the batches does cause an issue during placements. On average, around 30% of students get placed with core companies. You may also want to consider these points.
Faculty and Teaching Methodology:
The faculty assigned for chemical engineering are IITians with PhDs, but their pedagogy is average. You'll be given a lot of quotidian assignments which do not have any scope of exploration.
Infrastructure:
The chemical engineering department has laboratories packed with flow meters, filters, and other important tools but the overall infrastructure is not up to the mark.
Grading System:
Getting a good CGPA is a bit difficult because of the grading system and strict faculty.
In general, the program is full of average students who are not very creative. Most students mug up the syllabus to score well. As for placements, here is a table.

Even though the highest Salary offered was INR 39 LPA, it was non-core. If you have the option, opt for other colleges. Top NITs will be good options for pursuing Chemical Engineering.
