Chemical Engineering is all about changing raw materials into useful everyday products in a safe and cost-effective way with the least possible impact on the environment. Also known as Process Engineering, it takes the most exciting elements of science and combines them with the real-world application of engineering to offer students a challenging, diverse and rewarding career.

Chemical Engineers play a key role in everyday life. From face creams to fuels, food and fashion, they create the products and materials we all depend on. They are problem solvers too: helping to manage the world’s natural resources; protecting the environment; securing clean water supplies; formulating new pharmaceuticals and foods; and working at the forefront of stem cell research. Chemical engineers need to work as part of a team and develop good communications skills. Strong problem-solving and analytical skills are also a bonus.

Right now we have highly qualified and experienced faculty members from IITs, NITs, and other reputed universities in India.

The choice of work available is exceptionally wide and job roles vary depending on the industry. Chemical Engineers work in sectors as wide ranging as specialty chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food processing, water purification & conservation, biotechnology, materials, oil and gas, energy, nuclear and the environment. They are also highly sought after in business and finance.

On average, Chemical Engineers can earn between an annual package of Rs. 2.5 to5.0 lakhs depending on nature of company & job. In the middle management, Chemical engineers are typically the highest paid group of engineers with an average salary starting at Rs. 6.5 lakhs p.a. rising to Rs. 12.5 lakhs p.a.

Yes! Chemical engineering is a well-respected degree that opens many career paths across industry and commerce. Chemical engineering graduates are highly sought after by employers for their analytical and problem-solving skills with many graduates choosing non-engineering related careers each year.

As many B.Tech Chemical graduates preferred to work in manufacturing industries & productions plants (Mostly Private sectors) as it is easy to get such jobs. Working hours & environment varies with the industry and nature of job and locations. In our country ratio of engineering college with Chemical stream is very less and that’s why it is demanded.

Very few candidate opt research and development or management, Testing & design after B.Tech. As these are mainly through GATE Score, which is an All India Examinations getting tougher day by day. Candidates with Master Degree from IITs, NITs & reputed institutes mainly through GATE are getting better jobs opportunities and career prospects.
