Chemical engineering studies involve all common engineering subjects in first year. From second year the specialized courses will begin that include fluid mechanics, chemical thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, surface science, catalysis and reaction engineering. Till final year students will read about chemical process and properties and topics like chemical reactors, chemical thermodynamics and experimenting with latest technology and devices.
By the end of final year students will be exposed to chemicals, polymers, petroleum, pharmaceuticals along with computer and information technology for the development of chemical engineering processes. There are good amount of opportunities for chemical engineering students, they are hired mostly by pharmaceutical, polymer and petroleum companies. There are good amount of higher studies opportunities too but need to compete with a larger pool of MSc chemistry, Biology and Pharmacy students.
Though it is not considered as a very hot branch of engineering have lot of potential for growth because of its applicability. It value and importance have risen in recent days because of the environmental issues. Jobs in petroleum companies like Schlumberger, Shell, Aramco and other Middle Eastern companies make it a prosperous choice of engineering.
Core Companies: ONGC, Reliance Industries Ltd., Essar Oil Limited, Gujarat Gas Company Limited, Indo Gulf Fertilizers Ltd, Coromandel Fertilizers Limited. Along with these there are number of research and development opportunities for chemical engineering students and renumuration may range from $1000~$1500 and $1800~$2500 for Phd and postdoc (research position after PhD) for chemical engineering students.
Avarage Salaries: 2.8~3.5 lakhs per anum
Institutes offering chemical engineering:
Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai
All Indian Institute of Technology IITs
All most all NITs
BITS all most all braches
All state universities and many private engineering colleges too

hello sir,
i am doing my B.Tech in biotechnology stream. I appeared in GATE 2010 from biotechnology stream and i got AIR 14th.
I want to switch over my brach to CHEMICAL ENGINEERING.
Can i do that. and what all the colleges take admissions like this
sit i want to do genetic engineering after completing my b.tech. so which group i have to take in b.tech. and plz tell me hoe many years it take to complete genetic engineering and about this course
I would like to know about placement for BE students and about post graduation courses.How is the future in this chemical engineering?
Where do we get job?i.e. in field work or office work.
I am confused whether do i take admission or not being a girl.
So i request u to guide me in this.
i completed my 10+2 as mpc{maths,physics,chemistry} with 85% shall i do chemical engineering graduation? how about the job prospects in india?
..m doin chemical eng. from banasthali uni. m rely vry tensed about the future dat wl i get job or not ??? and plzz tell me about the gud field in chemical eng. 4 girls..means streams..???..thanx
hey friends, i am in confusion that : In chemical branch,whether i take admission in m.tech (chemical engg.) from mnit. OR another option is job to take experience in the industrial field…….please help me me…….. i have only 2 days to take decision….please tell me what can i do…..?
i cpmpleted b.tech in chemocal engg. on aug 2010.Now, i am in confusion that : In chemical branch,whether i take admission in m.tech (chemical engg.) from mnit.

i’m b.tech persuing in E.C.E stream,..i want to swith over my stream to electrical engineering for M.Tech…am i eligable for this?
sir , present i am doing my 2 nd year in in rgukt(puc-2).sir i am interested in choosing chemical engineering , sir i am very much interested in chemistry. so sir give me a good advise.
sir my sister know studying 12th std,after completion she want to goes like a engineering line which course her selected & useful for her career.
we are living at karaikudi in this place which college best for engineering
I want to more information on chemical engineering. Will we benefied in future if we opt chemical engineering?My CGPA is 80%. How much salary i get? please reply me.
chemical engg is a hot branch and the college u r studying also matters..or if your cgpa is good then off campus will also help u..many core companies like essar, iocl,reliance,ongc etc give a handsome package…
kindly note whosoever wrotee this the avg. package is nt so less..plzz see ur data base frm whr u gt this….it totally a crap fig. u have mentioned……plz correct this
