How is the scope (placement and package) for chemical engineering at NIT Srinagar?
Posted On - Jul 16, 2021I have to admit that the placement opportunities are not very satisfying and the packages offered are quite average.
Previous placement statistics reveal that the scope for chemical engineering at NIT Srinagar is not very satisfying. Last year 53 students enrolled for placements in the Department of Chemical Engineering, and 15 of them, or 28% of the total, were placed in key businesses including IOCL, GAIL, BARC, SAIL, etc. The average compensation package is 8 LPA, and the highest salary package is 10 LPA. Chemical engineering students were hired by analytics firms like ZS Associates, Vedanta, and others for an average pay package of 9 LPA.
Finding a job after completing a B.Tech degree in Chemical Engineering at NIT Srinagar can be a daunting task for many students. According to statistics, only a small percentage of students, around 9-10%, can secure a job right away. However, for those who do not find immediate employment, there is a viable option to consider. Preparing for and passing the GATE examination can open doors to better job opportunities and pave the way for future career growth.
A close friend of mine studied at NIT Srinagar. He had completed his B.Tech in Chemical Engineering. Here presenting some information shared by him about placements and packages.
The placement stats of NIT Srinagar is not constant as the figures tend to change each year. And this happens essentially because of a lot of external factors like - the circumstances in Kashmir, faculty, and even the infrastructure.
There are some bitter things you have to acknowledge when it comes to NIT Srinagar, especially for the placement scenario of its Chemical Engineering department.
Core companies:
- The only company that gives a ray of hope to the students present here is Vedanta.
- Out of so many students each year, there are only a lucky 3-4 number of students who manage to grab a package of 8 lakhs.
- Excluding Vedanta, literally, no other company willingly shows up at NIT Srinagar.
Non-core companies:
- As far as these non-core companies are concerned, a huge number of them show up at NIT Srinagar offering placements for students belonging to any branch.
- The average package that they carry to offer is 3-4 lakhs.
Speaking about the Chemical Engineering department, there are around 9-10% of students who manage to grab a job for themselves once they have completed their B.Tech degree. What eventually is left for the rest of the students at Chemical Engineering at NIT Srinagar is to crack the GATE examination.
