Which is better, chemical engineering from UICET PU Chandigarh, chemical engineering from Thapar University Patiala or computer science from CCET Chandigarh (affiliated to PU)?
Having a few friends from both institutes I might be able to share some facts about both the institutes. Chemical Engineering at UICET is better than Chemical at Thapar University or CSE at CCET.
- UICET is a well-renowned university and has a reputed department.
- They have brilliant placement records and a strong alumni base.
- Laboratories and faculty at UICET are better than those at Thapar.
- Course fees at UICET for chemical engineering are very less than that in Thapar University.
- Thapar is no doubt a well-reputed university but as far as chemical engineering is concerned UICET is better.
- CCET is affiliated with PU located in sector-26 Chandigarh. It is well known for its diploma courses.
- However, UICET is any day better than CCET in all terms.

Hope this will help you!
What should I choose, VJTI for Computer Science or BITS Goa for Chemical?
My friend also faced the dilemma of choosing between VJTI and BITS Goa. He ended up choosing VJTI because of the following reasons.
- VJTI offers a renowned CS curriculum with a strong focus on practical learning.
- BITS Goa may have a higher average salary during placement, but placements for CS at VJTI are also pretty solid. A total of 401 BTech students have been placed till now in 2024. The highest package was secured by a BTech Computer Science student which stood at INR 57 LPA with the average package being INR 20 LPA.
- VJTI has strong industry connections and easily offers students research and internship opportunities in top firms.
- BITS Goa also offer most of such programs in dual degree format which may be uncomfortable for some students.
- Mumbai being a tech hub can also be beneficial as VJTI CS students are to an ecosystem of networking opportunities and jobs.
How are the placements of chemical engineering at Thapar University?
At present, the average salary for B.Tech Chemical graduates of Thapar University is around 8 LPA. Some recruiters for the department are- Reliance, OCCL, HMEL, JUBILANT Life Sciences, Ambuja Cement, Johnson Matthey, JSW Steel, Deloitte, Agilent Technologies, Honeywell UOP, Zunroof Tech Pvt Ltd, Tech Mahindra, and others.
The department placements are, unfortunately, declining year on year. The B.E. Chemical on campus placement percentage barely touches the 50% mark. And this figure is obtained by taking into account only eligible candidates. A few students receive PPOs in their internships while some are selected off campus in companies like Udaan(Hiveloop Technologies), Vardhman, Jaypee fertilizers, Ind Swift, Zomato, etc.
Thus, the placement figures are not very impressive for BE Chemical at Thapar University.
Where should I go, IIT Patna for chemical or Jadavpur University for mechanical?
Both IIT Patna and Jadavpur University are well-reputed institutes in India, and they offer effective classes and a resourceful atmosphere to the students.
There are some unique factors that distinguish both institutes from each other, which are listed below
- Infrastructure – IIT Patna is known for its world-class infrastructure, high-quality research labs, good campus, and excellent academics. The infrastructure of Jadavpur University is not up to par when compared with the IIT Patna.
- Faculty - IIT Patna has more efficient and experienced faculties in all departments than Jadavpur University. They are always available to the students to clear their doubts and give proper guidance.
- Placements: The highest package for IIT Patna was recorded to be 82.05 LPA while Jadavpur University received only 1.8 LPA.
You can opt for IIT Patna to excel in the field of chemical engineering
Which one is better: chemical engineering from University of Chandigarh or production and industrial engineering from PEC Chandigarh?
The University of Chandigarh and Punjab Engineering College are equally good. It finally depends on you and what you are passionate about, as chemical engineering has a broader curriculum than IE.
Students opting for Chemical Engineering can specialize in the fields of Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics, Polymer Science & Technology, Energy Management, Biochemical Engineering, Separation Processes, Reaction Engineering, Pulp and paper, and Environmental Engineering.
Industrial Engineering is somewhat similar to Mechanical Engineering but not quite. Students will get to learn about manufacturing processes, manufacturing systems, systems engineering, IT, Networks, basic shop floor communications, and much more.
In the following table, you will get basic information about the colleges -
|

But the Production and Industrial Engineering Branch of Punjab Engineering College is better. It also gives lots of opportunities to students both in education and placement. Also, even if you go for chemical engineering, you will for IE.
Therefore, choosing Production and Industrial Engineering from Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh is a better option than Chemical Engineering of Chandigarh University, as it has more opportunities.
What was the CGPA of the student who grabs the highest package at Haldia Institute of Technology in chemical engineering department?
One of my brothers was placed in a prominent company through on-campus placement. As per his experience, CGPA isn’t required for the process of getting a good job.
He scored 9 CGPA and many of his friends scored less than him yet they were successfully placed in prominent companies. The reason behind this is that marks hardly matters when recruiters visit campus moreover, they are all focused on your knowledge and skills.
Getting a good placement is definitely a dream for all the engineers but you definitely have to brush up on your skills and knowledge before sitting for the recruitment process.
What should I prefer between chemical at BITS Goa and CS at new IIITS (like Nagpur, Guwahati)?
You can opt to enroll in BITS, Goa for Chemical Engineering only if you are positive to pursue your career in that field, or if you are simultaneously planning for any in-depth research activities in chemical engineering-related fields in the upcoming years.
- It is also to be remembered that the campus placements for students in the chemical department of BITS, Goa is not the best.
- Unfortunately, very few core companies visit the campus for placement offers.
- Now, there are students who also tend to get placed at several IT companies which are nonetheless not very simple or easy-going as well.
- While, on the other hand, some get placed in various consultancy companies which allegedly do not take your degree into any specific consideration.
However, the older IIITs are comparatively better in terms of providing the best of everything, than it is in the newer ones. But, if you are personally considering the branch, then CSE has always been ahead of the list in terms of placement opportunities as opposed to Chemical.
