What is the scope in chemical engineering at BIT, Mesra in terms of placement and package?
Though BIT Mesra is a highly renowned engineering college, I would advise against joining any other branch at it except for CS/IT. The other branches are not very good placement-wise, especially when BIT Mesra is such a renowned college.
Core companies do visit the Chemical department for placements, recruiting a decent number of students each year. Apart from them, few Analytics firms and IT companies also recruit from the department. These IT companies include Infosys and Cognizant. Some of the department students clear exams like CAT or GATE, and as a result, go for higher studies/PSUs.
In 2022, from B.Tech Chemical Engineering (excluding Plastic and Polymer), 34 out of 45 students were successfully placed from the campus (43 were eligible for placements). The lowest CTC was 4 LPA, the average CTC was 8.44 LPA, the median CTC was 8.10 LPA, and the highest CTC was 12.84 LPA during these placements.
Thus, BIT Mesra is not a very good choice for Chemical Engineering in terms of placements.
Comments
BIT Mesra offers 2 undergraduate and 1 postgraduate program in chemical engineering; BE in Chemical Engineering, BE in Chemical Engineering (Plastics and Polymer), and ME in Chemical Engineering.
- If we look at the overall chemical engineering ecosystem in India, it is not very good. There are very few private chemical companies in India.
- The curriculum of the programs is very old and has not been updated to meet the 21st-century demands.
- Thus the engineers being produced by the colleges in India are also below par.
- Close to 95% of the chemical engineering graduates from tier-3 engineering colleges work in service companies with an annual salary of 2-3 lakhs.
The recent placement statistics for Chemical Engineering at the institute are as follows.
|
Average CTC |
7.5 LPA |

Major Recruiters |
Reliance, Birla, Tata Steel |
Hope this gives you an idea about the course.
