Let’s do a basic comparison between the two universities first.
Accreditation: MSU is an autonomous university whereas LDCE comes under ACPC
Infrastructure: MSU has an upper hand in this aspect as its infrastructure is way better than LDCE.
Marking pattern: MSU follows a very tough marking scheme and therefore makes it difficult for students to get good CGPAs.
Placements: The placements of both universities are equally good. I have tabulated the placement statistics below to draw a clearer comparison.

At LDCE offers were made from industries like Oil, Gas, Power, Fertilizer, IT sector, Automobile, Chemical, Petrochemical, etc.
Personally, I feel overall MSU is a better option. It has some additional features that set it apart from LDCE. These include
So Chemical Engineering at MSU Baroda is a better option.
Being a student of Anna University, you should first consult your Chemistry teacher for the study materials. You can also ask your seniors to recommend some books for the same. There is a chance that they might inform you of a PDF that will help you get good marks.
Apart from this, some websites that provide PDFs are
Library Genesis
PDF Drive - Search and download PDF files for free.
Both these websites will help you gain access to the required PDFs. Another simple option is to simply browse google and look for the pdf of the book.
The placement opportunities are not that great for Chemical Engineers at Anna University. Bulk companies like TCS, Infosys, and Accenture, and Analytical companies such as Latent View and Zoom Rx visit the campus every year. Some other IT and Core companies that visit the campus for recruitment are
IT:
L&T
Infotech
Zoho.
Core:
Hyundai
Saint Gobain
ITC
SterliteCopper
TVS Srichakra
Coromandel fertilizers
Reliance
Some students even got placement offers from Thermax and Dow for their summer internship.
Your choice should depend on your own interests and preferences. Make the choice based on your own preferences. Consider factors like closeness to your home, Coaching/guidance for GRE and alumni network.
In my opinion, CSE in NIT Silchar is a better choice.
Pros-
The branch and the course itself are very popular and demanding. Will give you amazing results in the future.
Campus placements are the best part of NIT Silchar.
The infrastructure and facilities are top-notch
The crowd here is qualitatively better hence the competition is also better
Amazing extracurricular facilities
Silchar is well connected to major cities in India through rail and Air networks.
The best feature of this college is its Start-up Centre which encourages entrepreneurship culture.
Cons-
A little less developed than metropolitan cities
You will lack the benefits of a popular title like IIT
NIT Silchar will help you realize your goals and be your constant support. Hence, rather than gaining mere tag benefits, you should focus on your career.
