ICT Mumbai is a better option for chemical engineering. A friend of mine recommended ICT Mumbai due to certain major reasons listed below: 

• ICT Mumbai has a history of providing consultancy to several industries.They are provided with much-needed solutions. 
• Being a student of ICT Mumbai will give you a chance to gain theoretical knowledge as well as practical experience. ICT Mumbai will provide the students with practical and operational knowledge in abundance.
• The placement scenario is also good, the students will be interviewed and recruited by core companies.
• A student needs to understand and remember that chemical engineering doesn't account for chemistry. The students/engineers from this branch of science are expected to invent and design machines that will be capable of producing products with certain specifications.
• The product should guarantee the safety of the personal, equipment, and the environment at large, the product should be compatible with the utmost and proper utilization of resources.
• The inference of engineering knowledge into practical knowledge is what will make a student irreplaceable. This can be achieved through practical experiences, troubleshooting, and operational experience, all of which are available in Mumbai.

Therefore, the final choice should be ICT Mumbai for pursuing chemical engineering. Here is a presentation of some of the factual information:

ICT Mumbai is better than ISM Dhanbad from every aspect. The faculty is well read and has ample domain knowledge. They try their level best to help students with their doubts. I hope the information provided above helps.

ISM Dhanbad is the better choice than IIT Bhubaneswar because of its better campus infrastructure and large alumni base as it is the older institute.

IIT BHU, as well as IIT/ISM Dhanbad both, are the old institutes that were recently converted to IITs. So both have a prestigious status through IIT BHU performed better than the ISM in the 2020 NIRF Rankings- IIT BHU(11), and ISM(12). 

Talking about the branch, Electrical at IIT BHU includes only the core electrical subjects. Moreover, there are very few companies visiting for core electrical students. Although, the students can sit for IT companies during the placement drive. According to 2019 placement highlights, a total of 88 students got placed from the Electrical Engineering at IIT BHU. The salary package ranged between 10 LPA to 58.21 LPA.

On the other hand, CSE offers many job options and more scope than electrical since every other field is getting blended with the CSE nowadays. And, ISM holds decent placement records for the CSE branch. The placement highlights of 2019 show there was a 90.23% placement from CSE and the average CTC offered was 39.5 LPA.

Despite being among the new IITs, CSE in IIT Bhubaneswar is doing well. In fact, it is the one department that holds a record of 100% placement in 2019. The students of CSE have received attractive salary packages ranging from 10-35 lakh per annum.

All the four IITs, IIT Bhubaneswar, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, IIT Mandi, and IIT Indore are good institutes for CSE. So, choose wisely according to convenience. 

ISM Dhanbad is one of the oldest colleges in India with experienced faculty and a diverse curriculum. The excellent research facilities and the established alumni network coupled with the amazing facilities add to a great student culture existing in the campus. Moreover, in comparison, IIT Bhubaneswar was just established 12 years ago in 2008, and it has shifted to its main campus just a few years ago so as compared to IIT(ISM) Dhanbad it lacks a little behind in infrastructure.

Coming to the placement, both colleges being IITs have an excellent record in the CSE department. Same or similar firms come to both the campuses for placements however the packages and the number of offers made by the firms are significantly higher in IIT(ISM) Dhanbad. For eg., Goldman Sachs in 2018 placed 4 offers in IIT Bhubaneswar as compared to 10 in IIT(ISM) Dhanbad although the average package offered by them in both the colleges was the same at 31 LPA. However, Samsung R and D offered made 10 offers with the average package being 16 LPA at IIT(ISM) Dhanbad and in IIT Bhubaneswar they ended up making 2 offers with the average package being 10 LPA. According to 2019 placement highlights in IIT(ISM) Dhanbad there were 90.23% placements from the CSE department with average CTC 39.5 LPA. Whereas, in IIT Bhubaneswar CSE department had 100% placement with an average of 11.44 LPA.

Therefore, considering all the factors at the moment IIT Dhanbad will be the better option than IIT Bhubaneswar for CSE. However, the speed at which IIT Bhubaneswar is growing it can also be considered as an alternative.
