If you are considering a career in Chemical Engineering and are confused between MNNIT Allahabad and RGIPT, it's important to understand the difference in the placement and research opportunities in both institutions. Here is a detailed answer to help you make an informed decision: Placement Opportunities: MNNIT Allahabad is known for its good placement record, with approximately 70%+ placements in the Chemical Branch. So, if you are looking for a job after completing your course, MNNIT Allahabad could be a good option. On the other hand, RGIPT is a new college, and its placement record is not as established as MNNIT Allahabad. Therefore, if you are solely focused on getting placed after your degree, MNNIT Allahabad might be a better choice. Research Opportunities: If you are interested in research, RGIPT is a dedicated institute for Petroleum and Chemical Engineering. Therefore, it has a focused approach toward research in this field. On the other hand, MNNIT Allahabad offers Chemical Engineering as one of the branches under its curriculum, but it is not a dedicated institute for Chemical Engineering. Therefore, the research opportunities might not be as extensive as those offered by RGIPT.   Both MNNIT Allahabad and RGIPT have their pros and cons. If you are looking for a good placement record and a wider range of branches to choose from, MNNIT Allahabad might be a good choice. However, if research is your primary focus and you are interested in Petroleum and Chemical Engineering, RGIPT could be a better choice for you.

RGIPT, IIT BHU, and IIPE, all three are reputed national-level colleges. Choosing among these three, depends on the course you are interested in. Selecting the right branch is more important than brand recognition of the college. So, don’t choose IIT BHU, only because of the IIT tag. It’s true that the IIT tag offers certain advantages. But for job opportunities, your branch will matter more. If you are getting Ceramics or Pharmaceutical at IIT BHU and Petroleum Engineering at RGIPT, then go for RGIPT. The Petroleum and Chemical branch of RGIPT offers more placement opportunities and exposure.  If you are interested in other core branches then IIT BHU is a better option.  Now, between RGIPT and IIPE, the former is the better choice for Petroleum Engineering. The course curriculum for the branch is similar but you will get better alumni support at RGIPT.  For Chemical Engineering, IIPE has a better course structure. Also, IIPE has a huge locational advantage. HPCL’s refinery is located in Visakhapatnam. The institute is only a few hours away from Kakinada, which has a huge potential of producing Methane Hydrates.
