How is the chemical engineering branch at Manipal Institute of Technology?

MIT's chemical department has a rich legacy of over 50 years and is one of the university's oldest and most reputed departments. Here are a few core highlights of the department

• The department has a strong alumni network and some of them have made it to the position of Board of Directors of big companies.
• The faculty is highly qualified with excellent research experience, strict yet helpful in clearing your doubts. 
• MIT Manipal does not have a very active research culture, especially at the UG level. The scenario however is gradually improving as they are being called for conferences with well-published journals.
• The curriculum of the chemistry department of MIT Manipal is decent and at par with BITS since the HOD was an alumnus of BITS.
• The department has well-equipped Chemical Engineering laboratories such as Mass Transfer, Heat Transfer, and a Process Control lab. 
• There is also a computer lab decked with the latest engineering software - CAD, Aspen, and Matlab. 
• As per the institute's Practice School Policy, students can complete their final year projects outside the institution. 
• It will be difficult to secure core jobs at MIT Manipal because there are very few core chemical industries on the placement list. Students can easily get a job in the service /IT industry. A few companies that have recruited students from this department in the past are Jindal Steels, Grasim Textiles, Reliance, and Mangalore Refinery.
