i have interest in chemistry i want to do chemical engineering but people say there is no scope in it..please guide me about chemical engg.

Divya, I am myself a Chemical Engineer and I hope that my suggestions would do good to you. To begin with please be informed that interest in Chemistry does not mean that you have to do chemical engineering.Chemical engineering is much more or rather much different from chemistry. It is important for a chemical engineer to gather some knowledge of all other branches of engineering & more importantly develop skills of varied nature which are essentially required in an Industry. Plain chemical engineers with just an objective to work in manufacturing plants do not succeed beyond a certain point and that is very much limited. In that case you might end up being a shift incharge or a shift manager of a large manufacturing concern. And then you might have tough competition form science post graduates. So if you are planning to do chemical engineering then be prepared to expand your knowledge in the field of design, CAD, Project management, Quality Assurance, System Audits & most importantly labour management. Just having the knowledge of process is not sufficient for chemical engineers. Be prepared to do something extra. It can be post graduation (M.Tech or M.E.) in a specialized subject or could be MBA with specialization in TQM or Operations. And keep in mind that chemical engineers have to keep the options open t work anywhere & not just in plain industries. You need to develop both skills as well as attitude for that. If this is done then Chemical Engineers can rise like anyone in the business and Head the organizations.

Hello Divya,Hope you are doing well,I suggest you to give a careful thought and identify your own strengths and weaknesses. Accordingly, you may decide appropriate course for yourself. Advantages is money, Chemical Engineering is one of the higher payed engineering practices. Disadvantages is years of schooling and health. Chemical engineers are essentially a fraction of what medical doctors go through. But the path of a medical doctor is most definitely difficult. And health, because when your working with all these "chemicals", toxic and whatnot, it is easy for accidents to occur which will directly affect health. But its really what you want to do, if you enjoy it, then go for it. Hope it helps. Please feel free to revert. Click on the thumbs up or mark it as the best, if you found this useful. Wish You Luck!

hi divya. " ppl say no scope in it".agn u are giving reffernce of ppl.is it a wise decsion? its all about you decsion.just take a wise decsion which help you to achive ur goal.now talking about Chemical engineering is one of the best upcoming branch in India. It come in core branches of engineering. If you do it from some good colleges like NIT or IIT then you will get a good benefit of it. It has good career in plastics, nuclear plants, semi petroleum company, coal company, and many chemical related factories has vast career in chemical engineering. pvt college- manipal.edu best 1.
