B.E Chemical Engineering is a full-time undergraduate program in Chemical Engineering. The course spans for a duration of 4 years, the eligibility of which is qualifying 10+2 examination, along with clearing various national and state level entrance examinations as applied for the course. The program is covered in 8 terms which gives a comprehensive study of theories and management skills used in engineering.
B.E. Chemical Engineering: What is it About?
B.E Chemical Engineering introduces the students to the principles of chemistry linking it to engineering in order to explain the problems involved in production and use of chemicals. The subject draws a connection between science and its application to manufacturing sectors. Candidates are strengthened in their leadership skills, problem-solving abilities and designing of projects from start to end level.
The program comprises of classroom study, lab practice and projects along with assignments, whereby students are given an in-depth understanding of the sector procuring knowledge of development, chemical plants operation, working of equipment used in chemical processing plants and so on, which thereby lets candidate gain a wide perspective of workings applicable in private and public sectors.The stream requires usage of analytical, evaluative and interpretive skills. Candidates possessing the knack of designing new plant ideas along with managing them from the level of inception to conception, making use of their knowledge in business and engineering roles are deemed suitable for this course. The program prepares pupils in taking up more supervisory positions in industries and building teamwork abilities. As the program also involves subjects like biotechnology and Textile engineering, candidates gain insight on how to deal with methods of reducing bio-hazards and environmental waste. B.E Chemical Engineering is considered one of the highest paying sectors as its application ranges to a wide spectrum of fields, thus attracting a wide range of students to opt for it.
B.E. Chemical Engineering: Eligibility
The eligibility criteria for pursuing admission to the course are as follows:
- Candidates should have qualified 10+2 in science stream, with having scored higher aggregate marks in physics, mathematics and chemistry (PCM) along with having cleared the entrance examination like AIEEE (All India Engineering Entrance Examination), etc. conducted by different colleges and Universities.
- Candidates seeking admission to IIT should have cleared JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) which is a prerequisite to seeking entrance for the course.
- Candidates who hold a diploma in engineering, as well as those who are working and wish to avail for B.E, are required to pass the Associate Membership of the Institute of Engineers.
B.E. Chemical Engineering: Admission Process
Candidates are required to have qualified their 10+2 examination with aggregate marks in the stream of science, along with securing higher marks in mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics. Different colleges conduct different entrance examination for admission to the course. Candidates are supposed to clear the entrance examinations conducted on state and national levels such as AIEEE and other equivalent examinations held by different institutions.
Colleges like IIT hold their own entrance examination i.e. JEE, only after qualifying which applicants can seek admission to the course. Computing the marks secured in 10+2 final exams and the score obtained in entrance examination deems the grounds for admission to the course.
The list of entrance examination held across the country for seeking admission to the program are as follows:
- AIEEE ( All India Engineering Entrance Examination)
- JEE [Joint Entrance Examination] (for admission to IIT)
- BITSAT (Birla Institute of Technology and Science Admission Test)
- AIME [Associate Membership of Institute of Engineers] (For working and diploma holders)
- VITEEE [Vellore Institute of Technology Engineering Entrance Examination]
- MU OET(Manipal University Online Entrance Test)
