Dear student,

Coming directly to the question asked, ceramic engineering is definitely not a popular choice between any of the students. Most of the students prefer because of IIT tag and exposure they will get at IIT. Also, some people choose this branch out of interest and curiosity.

Now placement scenerio :- Very few companies visit specifically for ceramic engineering. But you can try other fields also like IT etc.

For research IIT BHU is very good.

This branch is growing gradually and placement may increase in upcoming years. If you have interest in this, then definitely you can pursue ceramic engineering.

Best of luck for future!!

As far as Ceramic Engineering is concerned, 2 Prominent Institutes have this Course, IIT BHU and NIT Rourkela. There are few prominent recruiters at both these Institutes including Tata Steel, Saint Gobain, Piramal Glass and couple more. Most of the students aspire careers in Data Science, Finance, Consulting, Software and especially IIT BHU Campus gives you enough opportunities for these. Same is with Mining Engineering, however in Mining, you have some scope with PSUs(GATE) as well as Steel, Petroleum and Mining Corporations. The Only advantage Ceramic Engineering has over Mining is, you have strong research scope and prospects. You may shift your Branch in Postgraduation to Material Science and Engineering, maybe pursue a MS/PhD Abroad. Ceramic Engineering as well as Materials engineering has immense scope even in the Nuclear and Aerospace Industry. In India, BARC and many other CSIR Organization attract Scientists and Projects in fields of Ceramic Technology, Design and Management. Definitely, if your Aim is UPSC CSE or MBA, either branch is good, however I believe Ceramic would be more interesting than Mining. You have both Dual Degree (5 Years) as well as BTech (4 Years) Courses in Ceramic and Mining. Some of the Best Colleges for Mining include IIT ISM Dhanbad, IIT Kharagpur, BIT Sindri, NIT Rourkela, NIT Raipur, NIT Surathkal and many others.

Hi Rajib,

Government Engineering College of Ceramic Engineering, Kolkata  is definitely well known for B.Tech in Cermaic Technology and you can pursue your degree from there. But since you considered B.Tech in CSE from other private colleges, I am assuming that you like Computer Science and in that case, you should always follow your heart and pursue CSE because that will help you in your future endeavors.

Hope this helps.

hi,

see as per 2022 gate official site, gate exam has no paper named as ceramic engineering,  very few  colleges of india offers b.tech in ceramic engineering. since gate exam score is evaluated for higher study as well as psu undertakings , the most common subjects are available for appearing in gate exam.

however you may select gate papers irrespective of your bachelors degree specialization.

so follow the  below link to know about syllabus and gate papers:

For Ceramic Engineering the best Institute in Todays date in IIT BHU, followed by NIT Rourkela and Government College of Ceramic Technology, West Bengal. For the former two you need to prepare for JEE Mains and Advanced Exam while for the latter option you need a WBJEE Score. All these institutes have excellent infrastructure, faculty and research facilities.Many of their Alumini today are excellent Refractory Technologists, Researchers, Academicians and brilliant Process Engineers. After Bachelors in Ceramic Technology many have even pursued their Masters degree in Metallurgical Engineering or Materials Science and are brilliant Metallurgists. Companies like Tata Steel, Jindal Stainless, JSW regularly recruit Ceramic Technologists for their Refractory Operations in Steel Plants. Besides this Piramal Glass, Saint Gobain, P&G, La Opala are other major recruiters.
