Chemical Engineering

Agriculture, as well as chemicals both, constitute an essential part of one's life.
One fulfills the necessary food and grains necessary for living whereas the other constituting the products regarding daily care as well in medical purposes.
So both the branches find scope in the current and future world. One cannot distinguish both on the basis of the earnings as it may vary from person to person as well as locality.
Although it depends on person to person that which stream he/she wants to choose and want to pursue his or her career in.
One thing common in both the fields is that they provide a large scope in research.
When coming to campus drives and placements, the chemical aspirants have more packages offered than agriculture students and also have more chances of abroad placements.
So, practically one should go for the chemical branch for a better lifestyle in future. Also, it is difficult for one to get into chemical than agriculture.
At last, whatever branch you chose from the both, pursue it from a well-renowed government or automous institution or top private institution otherwise it may be a struggle for you after 4 years.
Thank you. Hope it helped.

Hi,
Employment of chemical engineers is projected to grow 2 percent from 2014 to 2024, slower than the average for all occupations. Demand for chemical engineers services depends largely on demand for the products of various manufacturing industries. The ability of these engineers to stay on the forefront of new emerging technologies will sustain employment growth.
Many chemical engineers work in industries that have output sought by many manufacturing firms. For instance, they work for firms that manufacture plastic resins, used to increase fuel efficiency in automobiles. Increased availability of domestically produced natural gas should increase manufacturing potential in the industries employing these engineers.
In addition, chemical engineering is migrating into new fields, such as nanotechnology, alternative energies, and biotechnology, thereby helping to sustain demand for engineering services in many manufacturing industries.
However, overall growth of employment will be tempered by a decline in employment in manufacturing sectors, including chemical manufacturing.
Chemical Engineers Job Prospects
The need to find alternative fuels to meet increasing energy demand while maintaining environmental sustainability will continue to require the expertise of chemical engineers in oil- and gas-related industries. In addition, the integration of chemical and biological sciences and rapid advances in innovation will create new areas in biotechnology and in medical and pharmaceutical fields for them to work in. Thus, those with a background in biology will have better chances to gain employment. Chemical engineers should have favorable job prospects as many workers in the occupation reach retirement age from 2014 to 2024.
All the best.

If you have a keen interest in chemistry and you are thinking that Chemical Engineering is all about chemistry then you can be wrong. Chemical Engineering is not all about chemistry, it is something like an amalgam of chemistry and applied physics and other things. So, first, research and choose your branch wisely. Now coming to the question, IIT-Kanpur is one of the best colleges in our country and it is not advisable to lose any seat in the prestigious institute. Some of the recruiters are:
Reliance Industries Ltd.
Essar Oil Limited.
Deepak Fertilizers and Petrochemicals Corp. Ltd.
Gujarat Gas Company Limited.
Gujarat Alkalies & Chemicals Ltd.
Reliance Petroleum Limited.
Arofine Polymers Ltd.
Colour-Chem Ltd.
Opportunities are everywhere, you just need to find them. Just as it had been said, there are ways everywhere in the field of engineering. If you want a core job after the graduation, let me tell you some facts which I gathered from the internet. The average package is about 8 LPA and the percentage of students placed every year is around 76%.

Chemical engineering, unfortunately, sees swings every year with an average of 80% ratio of students getting placed.
Top quality recruitment companies include.
Hindustan Zinc Limited, Sun Pharma, Hutti Gold Mines Limited, Indian Rare Earths Limited, Biocon, OIL Limited, MSPL Limited, Glenmark, Dr.Reddy, National Aluminium Company, Fertilizer startups, Nuziveedu seeds, etc. These cover different areas like petroleum refining, Plant Process distillation, fertilizer technology, processing of food and drugs and agricultural products management, paints and dyes; recycling metals and refurbishing, glass and plastics; cosmetics, and mineral based industries for fractioning and cracking based roles.
Average package stands at 6 LPA and maximum is at 15 LPA for chemical engineering specialization.
However, past year the team for placements has been increased and should see more top companies participating for 2017-18.
Overall decent opportunities in the chemical sector with a wide variety of roles.

SASTRA University is located in Thanjavur and it is accredited by NAAC.
It is ranked 65 in the list of top colleges of India by 'the week'.
It offers many courses out of which aerospace engineering is the course in which it offers about 120 seats to students.
It is well known for its good infrastructure knowledgeable faculty with experience of teaching and many facilities like Wi-Fi Sports Complex and labs with better equipments and machines.
Sastra University is known for its research in chemical engineering but it cannot be compared to IIT or NIT research.
There are core companies like Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals, Ranbaxy, Manali Petrochemicals, etc.
These are some of the core companies that comes for the placement of chemical engineering students in Sastra University and provides package average salary about 9 lakh per annum.
But around 10 to 15% students of Chemical Engineering only get placed in core companies and rest of the students get placed in the mass recruiter IT companies like TCS, Accenture,etc.
They provide average salary about 3 lakh per annum.
Hope it helps.

There are nice placements for chemical engineering in RV College of Engineering.
Although, one need not expect a high salary package for CSE students though exceptions may be there, but the chemical engineers have to satisfy themselves for a low starting salary package.
Though the progress and promotions are countless in the field and can be achieved by skilled learning in the undergraduate phase.
Now, when it comes to placements, the average placements are around 5 LPA and highest reaching up to 13 LPA.
The life of a chemical engineer is full of surprises and challenges but revolve around the chemicals and theory related to it.
Though RV College of Engineering is the preferred branch and one of the most vibrant campuses of India and you can live the golden four years of life with fun and enjoyment, also scoring well in exams.
The college teaches the students to be skilled but not educated from only the theory point of view because, in my personal view, if one gets the placements on the basis of the marks will further face hardships in life when it comes to competing with the skilled ones.

BITS stand among top 5 universities in India as per the latest government rankings framework.
The students here work on latest research areas like blockchain, algorithmic learning, AI, etc.

The campus is spread across a vast area with greenery all around. There are a lot of facilities for co-curricular activities and sports.Four fests are held annually for encouraging students talent and potential in various areas.
If we talk about the placements then top recruiters come on the campus and take the students.
Companies like flow Traders, Nutanix, Uber, Amazon, Myntra, Qualcomm, Oracle, McKinsey, etc. come to campus.
Packages offered to student vary from Rs 20 lakhs to Rs 90 lakhs.
Apart from placements, students have the option of industrial exposure in two practice schools and they get a chance of PPO too.
There is support & guidance for higher education in abroad.
