is chemical engineering in IIT Bombay is better or civil engineering in same IIT Bombay is better
Hello aspirant,
Congratulations on clearing JEE Advanced. IIT-B is one of the most prestigious institutes of the country. It's current NIRF ranking is 3.
Highlights
- FEES: Same for both courses. INR 8.46lacs.
- JEE- Advanced ranked cut-off is higher for chemical engineering.
- IIT-B chemical engineering is ranked top for B.tech in chemical engineering
- Placements civil engineering: Airbus gave around 7.5L/yr Godrej construction around 7L/yr. Walter P Moore around 6L/yr. Dar al handasah around 5.5L/yr
- Placements chemical engineering: 85% of the students who applied for placements got placed in our course. The highest salary offered was 1.5 lac per month, and the lowest salary offered was INR 80,000 per month. Top recruiting companies of our college are Amazon and Infosys. Approximately 70% of the students got placed in companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and Oracle.
One might conclude that chemical engineering could have an edge over civil engineering in IIT-B.

Thank you.
Both the civil Engineering department and chemical engineering department are really good in IIT Bombay. Making a choice between these two depends totally on your area of interest but I'll list out the comparison between these two branches.
In IIT Bombay civil is considered better than chemical engineering. Civil engineering deals with the construction and design, maintenance of the physical or naturally built environment, including work at various bridges, roads etc.
Chemical engineering on the other hand conceive and design processes to produce, transform and transport materials starting by experimenting them first in the laboratory and then by implementation of the technology in full scale production.
Chemical engineers do have a chance at higher salary but the job opportunities is less than that of civil engineers, also chemical engineering is more tough than civil engineering since it has a vast syllabus.
Hope this helps.
