Chemical Engineer scope

Chemical engineering is a branch of engineering that applies physical sciences physics and chemistry) and life sciences (microbiology and biochemistry) together with applied mathematics and economics to produce, transform, transport, and properly use chemicals, materials and energy. Essentially, chemical engineers design large-scale processes that convert chemicals, raw materials, living cells, microorganisms and energy into useful forms and products.
A chemical engineer may be involved in industry or university research where they are tasked in designing and performing experiments to create new and better ways of production, controlling pollution, conserving resources and making these processes safer. They may be involved in designing and constructing plants as a project engineer. In this field, the chemical engineer uses their knowledge in selecting plant equipment and the optimum method of production to minimize costs and increase profitability. After its construction, they may help in upgrading its equipment. They may also be involved in its daily operations. Chemical engineers may be permanently employed at chemical plants to manage operations. Alternatively, they may serve in a consultant role to troubleshoot problems, manage process changes and otherwise assist plant operator.
India has very well developed chemical Industry including petroleum & gas both in government and private sector. It is a core sector with lot of government and big corporate houses support. Chemical engineers have a good scope in India and abroad.

The basic eligibility criteria for admission into bachelor's degree is, higher secondary school certificate (10+2) examination with science subject such as Biology, Math and chemistry. For admissions into the IITs, the student has to clear the Joint Entrance Examinations (JEE). The duration for the course is 4 years.
Feel free to raise more questions.
Appreciate by giving it thumbs up or marking as best.
All the Best.

Dear Manoj,
Well, I am a little confused with your question. I cant fgiure out, whether you want to know top colleges to pursue Chemical engineering in T. Nadu or you want to know about the scope of chemical engineering in T. Nadu after pursuing graduation.
However, I am providing you both the information and in case I miss on anything, you can post it as a new question or in the comments section.
Chemical Engineering graduates can gain good job opportunities in manufacturing and service industries such as food, materials, specialty chemicals, plastics, power production, biotechnology, Tyre manufacturing, nanotechnology, mining process, mineral based industries, petrochemical, plants, pharmaceuticals, synthetic fibers, chemical engineering designs, nuclear energy, materials science, development of new sources of energy and even medicine. Some opt to work in laboratories and universities as a professor.
Those interested in government jobs have to clear Engineering Service Examinations conducted by the UPSC. The engineering graduates are employed in defense establishment, healthcare related research projects, atomic power plants, environment regulation, recycling department and power conservation projects.
For the list of some of the top colleges in Tamil Nadu, refer to the below link
