Hi there,
In simple words, the answer depends on what you have in your mind regarding your future.
See, there are different types of students in every branch and field. The thing that matters is the amount of hard work with correct a hint of knowledge they acquire in their college time. You can go with Chemical if you have an interest in dealing with chemicals but remember the job perspective is quite low and mostly in private sectors.
Also, the salary range is quite low as compared to Civil engineers. So it is a must to understand every single thing from the bottom to the maximum reach.
Talking about Civil engineering, the job level is better because the salary and job roles vary. Usually, the salary range starts from 4 LPA and it gradually increases.
As you have questioned about being an average student can pursue chemical engineering in a better way or not?
See, anyone can do better in any field they got interested in. So it depends on your interest.
Hope this answer helps.
Revert in case of any doubt.
Wishing you very good luck :)
