Which is better among DIT and Thapar University to pursue B.Tech in chemical or petroleum?
If I had to choose, I'd lean towards Thapar. A senior I know from Thapar's Chemical Engineering branch had a good experience with the faculty, labs, and placement opportunities. If you're considering Chemical Engineering, Thapar is definitely a strong option.
I do pick Thapar. A friend of mine studied there and the exposure, faculty, and placement opportunities were really good. For Chemical Engineering, Thapar has a stronger reputation overall.
