Is NIT Calicut civil or chemical better in terms of placements and scope in future?
If you are a Civil student, my advice to you would be to prepare for the GATE exam once you are done with your degree. The placement is quite low for core companies. Many students also follow the same.
Chemical students are known to focus on jobs and have a good placement in analytics and software-based companies. Many of the top ones also land core jobs.
My suggestion would be to check the syllabus and pick the subject you like. You will realize which subject has good scope and what does not. As far as Civil is concerned, most students land jobs at L&T. But, they will make you work a lot and you will not be satisfied with the pay. This is not the case with Chemical engineering.
What should I choose, chemical engineering at NIT Calicut or ECE at IIIT Jabalpur?
Chemical Engineering and ECE, both the branches are in demand. The major scope of Chemical Engineering is in chemical, food processing, pharma, medical industries, oil, and gas, etc.
The major scope of ECE is in android, mobile, and telecommunication. The majority of the students prefer ECE because of two reasons. The first reason being comfort. Secondly, after acquiring skills in programming languages, it is easy to switch to the IT or software field.
Here is a brief overview of CE at NIT Calicut and ECE at IIIT Jabalpur.
| Institute | NIT Calicut | IIIT Jabalpur |

Which is better for chemical engineering, ISM Dhanbad or ICT Mumbai?
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:

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.
Should I join MANIT (NIT Bhopal) Chemical Engineering while I get CSE at IIIT Sri city? I've no particular inclination towards any branch.
Why do you want to opt for engineering? Is it because you enjoy Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics? If that’s the reason, then there are two possibilities for you.
Joining IIIT Sri City for CSE-
- You can sharpen your coding skills and work better on Computer Science learning more about ethical hacking, cybersecurity, etc. This is how CSE would prove to be fruitful to you.
- But if we perceive the other side of the situation, if you do not hold any interest here, you might find it hard to cope with and eventually lose interest. Since IIIT Sri City is a new college, it will not be able to impart the essential communication/soft skills to you.
Joining Chemical Engineering at MANIT Bhopal-
- Apart from developing a great interest in Chemical Engineering, you have the opportunities to either go for higher education via GRE or ensure placement via GATE.
- But again, comparing the other side of the situation, if Chemical Engineering does not spark your interest, you can go for other domains like Management. MANIT offers all the adequate communication/soft skills that would be essential for that.
If you have no particular inclination, then choosing CSE may be better. As it has two domains, i.e. coding and non-coding. Plus, the internet is full of great ebooks and tutorials to teach you.
Which college is better: NIT Surat chemical or NIT Surathkal metallurgy?
Considering the opportunities which may get available for you in the future, I would suggest you go for Chemical Engineering at NIT Surat as it would be a better option over metallurgy. As my sister studied there, I am very well aware of the college and its pros and cons.
- Many PSUs and organizations recruit students of the Chemical Engineering department from NIT Surat.
- Some of these PSUs which recruit from the college include BPCL, HPCL, IOCL, and COAL India.
- Many people consider NIT Surathkal to be better than NIT Surat based on incomplete information and the NIRF ranking released by the Ministry of Education, India.
