Hello,

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.
