Comparably BIT Pilani will offer better career options for Chemical Engineering. Also, one of my friends attends BIT Mesra for Chemical Engineering, so I have some idea about the course at the institute.
BIT Mesra:
In his branch, there are 60 chemical engineering students and 60 polymer students. The size of the batches does cause an issue during placements. On average, around 30% of students get placed with core companies. You may also want to consider these points.
Faculty and Teaching Methodology:
The faculty assigned for chemical engineering are IITians with PhDs, but their pedagogy is average. You'll be given a lot of quotidian assignments which do not have any scope of exploration.
Infrastructure:
The chemical engineering department has laboratories packed with flow meters, filters, and other important tools but the overall infrastructure is not up to the mark.
Grading System:
Getting a good CGPA is a bit difficult because of the grading system and strict faculty.
In general, the program is full of average students who are not very creative. Most students mug up the syllabus to score well. As for placements, here is a table.

Even though the highest Salary offered was INR 39 LPA, it was non-core. If you have the option, opt for other colleges. Top NITs will be good options for pursuing Chemical Engineering.
