According to my knowledge, IIT Kanpur Chemical Engineering will give you a better perspective even in your noncore fields. So if you get a chance in IIT K then just go for it, it's one of the finest IITs in India, and the experience you will get there is incomparable. 

  • IIT Kanpur is situated in a developed place though not much but better than Pilani for sure. Also, connectivity is good.
  • Chemical engineering is a Good branch with lots of opportunities.
  • Fees- IIT Kanpur fees for 4 years is 8 lakhs while BITS fees is around 19 lakhs.
  • IIT Kanpur has a NIRF ranking of 4 while BITS Pilani has an NIRF ranking of 25.
  • The median salary of BITS Pilani is 18.2 LPA while the median salary of IIT Kanpur is 22.07 LPA
  • More than 250 companies like Microsoft, Fujitsu, Samsung, Reliance, Goldman Sachs, and McKinsey visited IIT Kanpur campus in 2023.
  • Great alumni - No doubt BITS also has alumni at par with those of IITs but the thing is that all IITians prefer IITians, by that I mean to say that no matter whether that guy sitting there is from IIT Bombay or Kanpur or any IIT for that matter, they will prefer any IITian over BITSian if no other criteria are available for differentiation.

Both Chemical Engineering and CS have a great scope with CS salaries a bit on the higher side. But non-CS profiles make it easily into B schools and the IIT tag will help you get into MS programs easily. It will also become easier to pursue Ph.D./ MBA from foreign universities. 

Take Chemical Engineering if

  • Your preference includes ChemE/FMCG/Pharma
  • You are willing to pursue higher studies in Nuclear/Materials/Nanotech/Biotech/Oil&Gas/Pharma/
  • You plan to do an MBA right after college

Take CS BITS Pilani if 

  • You genuinely like CS and want to get employed in the same field
  • You want to pursue higher studies in software development, algorithmic trading, AI, cryptography, robotics, and related sectors after graduation.

Trust me when I say that both choices will shape your career effectively and you will be able to earn well either way.
