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.

Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) is a public engineering university, situated in Varanasi. The institute has tie-ups with the University of Cambridge (UK), University of Oxford (UK), University of Sheffield (UK). The institute has been ranked 10th and 11th in the categories engineering and overall by the NIRF rankings in 2019. 

Course Details

• The institute offers B.Tech in Mining Engineering as a full-time four-year course at a fee of Rs 8.62 Lakhs for the full period. 
• The course has 133 seats available at the institute.

Placements

• B.Tech in Chemical Engineering has a placement rate of approximately 75%. 
• Companies such as ITC, HUL, Reliance, and Honeywell are some of the top recruiters which visit the campus for the placement season. 
• The lowest salary offered is 8LPA, while the average salary offered is an impressive 12LPA. 
• The highest package offered at the institute is 37 LPA.

With various international tie-ups, the institute has enhanced its learning experience and placement facilities. Recruiters from Indian and foreign companies visit the campus for placements. With IIT being a renowned university students bag top-notch placement offers. The institute boasts of a very high 75% placement rate, which makes it a good choice for students interested in the course.

The Dharmsinh Desai University (DDU) ranks in the band of 101-150 by NIRF 2020. The faculty has more than 52 years of experience in education. It has both undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

Tabulated below is a brief overview of the institute:

Admissions

• The admission tests considered are GUJCET, JEE Main and GATE with at least 50% in 10+2 is required for application.
• For Postgraduate students 50% in graduation is necessary.
• Final selection will be based on the scores of the entrance examination.
• The shortlisted candidates will be then called for a group discussion and personal interview.

Course Details

Chemical Engineering is a combination of experimental sciences, life sciences, mathematics and economics to design, develop, transform, produce, transport and operate energy and materials. It also includes physics, chemistry, biology, microbiology and biochemistry.

Placements

Recruiting Companies 

Millicon Consultant Engineers Pvt. Ltd., Shell, Balmer Lawrie and Co. Ltd., Ambuja Cement, GEA Ecoflex India Pvt. Ltd., GlaxoSmithKline, etc.

Course Scope

A chemical Engineering graduate can work at a Petroleum Industry, Food Industry, Electronics Industry, Rubber Industry, Textile Industry, Paper and Pulp Industry, Aerospace Industry, Plastic Industry, Cement Industry, Public Sector Units and Fertilizer Industry.

The scope of Chemical Engineering is not as good as the other core engineering departments. Placements, both on-campus and off-campus are difficult to obtain. Though employment of chemical engineers is projected to grow 6% from 2018 to 2028, The Demand for chemical engineer’s are growing gradually.

There are mixed reviews about the placements of the chemical department of IIT BHU and IIT

Roorkee. Students of IIT BHU thinks they have good placements than IIT-R and vice-versa. A

senior professor of Chemical Department T IIT Roorkee, who is an alumnus of IIT BHU, visited the campus of IIT BHU last year. According to him, students at both of the institutes believe that grass is greener on the other side. The fact is placements in both the departments are almost equal.

Following are some of the examples for the same:

1. ITC, which offers 18L CTC, visited IIT-R and not IIT BHU, while HUL (Hindustan Unilever Limited), offering 22L CTC, visited IIT BHU, but not IIT Roorkee.

2. Core companies for Chemical Engineering like Aditya Birla, Reliance visits both the campus.

Now coming to branch change, in IIT BHU, a maximum of 10 percent of students can move from one branch to another, while in IIT Roorkee, it’s only 2 percentage. So, in the case of branch change, IIT BHU is more liberal for change in the branch, i.e. if there are 120 students at IIT BHU chemical department, 12 students can move for branch change while in case of IIT-R in the strength of 120, approximately 3 students would be able to do the branch change.

The answer to this question depends on what you aim for after 4 or 5 years of your college degree. If you just want a placement and not particularly interested in a branch then you could go for any of those two branches as placement statistics are good for both in IIT BHU. There are enough opportunities in the non-core sector which generally comprise IT, developer, analytics, product management, business analyst, etc. These sectors don't look for a specific branch and rather require good communication and analytical skills. 

Coming to the core sectors, both civil and chemical provide diverse opportunities in these areas. If you are someone who finds chemical processing and chemistry interesting, then go for chemical engineering. If you are the one who gets amazed by the interesting and defying structures, civil engineering should be your choice. According to 2019 placement statistics, 77 students from Civil Engineering and 104 students from Chemical Engineering got placed from IIT BHU.

Opting for civil engineering would open doors to exams such as IES, UPSC, GATE, and other state engineering exams. There are ample opportunities for civil engineering majors. And if you choose chemical engineering, you can go for higher studies or work for PSUs. So, both these branches at IIT BHU would provide enough opportunities to grow and explore and the end decision should be based on your interest.
