Which is better, IIT Delhi (chemical) or BITS Pilani (CSE)?

I am a B.Tech Chemical Engineering student at IIT Delhi. According to me, these are the main factors you should consider while making up your mind:

• Demand: CSE is more in-demand than chemical engineering.
• Brand: The “IIT” tag holds more brand value than the “BITS” tag. The “IIT” tag will be more advantageous if you want to apply to foreign universities for higher education later on.
• Fees: IIT Delhi is an affordable choice, whereas, BITS Pilani has high fees for its engineering programs. Additionally, IIT Delhi has better placements, which places it at a better position in terms of ROI.

Here is a comparison between IIT Delhi Chemical and BITS Pilani CSE:

*This is the fee-structure for General/OBC students with family income>5 LPA. 

Even though CSE is a highly sought after branch in the current market, I would suggest you opt for Chemical Engineering at IIT Delhi. IIT Delhi will offer a better ROI, and its brand name will be of immense benefit if you wish to pursue higher studies in India and abroad after graduation.

You can do some research on the career and research opportunities after Chemical Engineering, and see if this branch aligns with your future goals.
