Is bsc chemistry better than engineering?

Hello Vijaya Lakshmi,

You are confused between bsc chemistry and engineering. Chemistry is a different field and engineering is a different field.

In engineering there are many different branches and the branch related to chemistry is chemical engineering. In engineering you will also learn many things about other branches of engineering while your main focus would be chemical engineering. In terms of getting knowledge and exposure, in chemical engineering you would learn how chemistry is applied in the field of technology and modern methods of applying chemistry. If we talk about the scope of chemical engineering, then there is a large scope in oil and mineral companies. You can even study further and go in the field of research also.

In bsc chemistry you will learn pure science. You will learn basic sciences and it's application. You will have an in depth knowledge about the elements and compounds and their reactions. You will be exposed to biology, physics, geology, etc. subjects related to science. If we talk about the scope, then just with a B.Sc degree you won't have a very large scope but if you get an M.Sc in chemistry then there is a large scope. Companies do consider a M.Sc post graduate at par with a B.Tech in Chemical Engineering. After M.Sc you can also go in the field of research.

At last you have to think what you want to study. Engineering will take 4 years while a B.Sc and M.Sc will take 5 years. In the end you would get in same kind of company. There is nothing as bsc chemistry is better or engineering is better. It all depends upon your choice what you want to study.

All the best.

Hi Vijaya

It is totally depends upon you that  what you want take bsc in chemistry or engineering according to your interest But there is no comparison between bsc and engineering .In both field you will good job prospects and opportunity .But if you are interested in bsc chemistry than definitely go because bsc chemistry has rewarding  carrier opportunity .After completing bsc in chemistry you do job or can do master . According to your own interest

Carrier opportunity in bsc chemistry I am some eg

1) you can became Teacher

2) You can work in laboratory

Hope it help out!

Good luck your bright future

Hello aspirant,

you are interested in studying purechemistry,thengo forBSc, aschemical engineeringhas very little to do withchemistry.Chemical engineeringisbetter than BScinchemistryChemists and chemical engineers work on similar or same problems, but they approach them from different angles.

if you choose either a Bachelor or a Master degree in chemistry, the curriculum will comprise of courses of mathematics, physics, biology and of course, a lot of chemistry: general chemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, analytical chemistry. Lectures will be combined with many hours of research and laboratory work. You will become an expert in:



Analysing and interpreting chemistry data



Making accurate and precise measurements of substances and chemical elements



Using all sorts of chemical instruments, laboratory equipment and basic techniques used in chemical experiments



Hope you understand

Thank you
