Before I reply to Subhash, let me correct what Raj92241 has advised. Firstly, nobody would pursue M.Sc or M.Phil after B.E./BTech. as both these degrees would not in any which manner enhance job or learning perspective. Secondly, graduate engineers will not work as Computer Operator, Computer Systems Specialist Supervisor, Computing Hardware Systems Director, Data Analyst,
Data Entry Worker etc.
Let me clarify, just doing a degree course does not guarantee any career. Three things would be very important while undergoing graduation that is English communication skill, good knowledge and skills for at least one software language and good aptitude and logical thinking. Simultaneously, it is very important to understand the importance of a good, reputed and NBA/NAAC accredited college because only such colleges can offer campus placement and related training.

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

For information, I would request Nikhlesh Mathur to share his expertise.

Thanks for the tag Manmeet Kaur50173 .
Getting jobs abroad is very competitive as you need to compete with the natives of that country first and then with remaining international candidates. However if you fulfill the eligibility criteria for a particular job then getting a job should not be a problem.
In order to get job abroad, you need to first of all find out the job opening in the area of your interest and the best source for this are newspaper and job portals. Both of these medium provides information about vacant job position and eligibility criteria for a particular job.
If your qualification and work experience matches the eligibility criteria, then you may apply for the job.
If you are selected then the company will issue an offer/appointment letter and sponsorship letter and on the basis of this you can apply for VISA.
All the Best!
