Dear student,

Coming directly to the question asked, ceramic engineering is definitely not a popular choice between any of the students. Most of the students prefer because of IIT tag and exposure they will get at IIT. Also, some people choose this branch out of interest and curiosity.

Now placement scenerio :- Very few companies visit specifically for ceramic engineering. But you can try other fields also like IT etc.

For research IIT BHU is very good.

This branch is growing gradually and placement may increase in upcoming years. If you have interest in this, then definitely you can pursue ceramic engineering.

Best of luck for future!!

As far as Ceramic Engineering is concerned, 2 Prominent Institutes have this Course, IIT BHU and NIT Rourkela. There are few prominent recruiters at both these Institutes including Tata Steel, Saint Gobain, Piramal Glass and couple more. Most of the students aspire careers in Data Science, Finance, Consulting, Software and especially IIT BHU Campus gives you enough opportunities for these. Same is with Mining Engineering, however in Mining, you have some scope with PSUs(GATE) as well as Steel, Petroleum and Mining Corporations. The Only advantage Ceramic Engineering has over Mining is, you have strong research scope and prospects. You may shift your Branch in Postgraduation to Material Science and Engineering, maybe pursue a MS/PhD Abroad. Ceramic Engineering as well as Materials engineering has immense scope even in the Nuclear and Aerospace Industry. In India, BARC and many other CSIR Organization attract Scientists and Projects in fields of Ceramic Technology, Design and Management. Definitely, if your Aim is UPSC CSE or MBA, either branch is good, however I believe Ceramic would be more interesting than Mining. You have both Dual Degree (5 Years) as well as BTech (4 Years) Courses in Ceramic and Mining. Some of the Best Colleges for Mining include IIT ISM Dhanbad, IIT Kharagpur, BIT Sindri, NIT Rourkela, NIT Raipur, NIT Surathkal and many others.

Hi Rajib,

Government Engineering College of Ceramic Engineering, Kolkata  is definitely well known for B.Tech in Cermaic Technology and you can pursue your degree from there. But since you considered B.Tech in CSE from other private colleges, I am assuming that you like Computer Science and in that case, you should always follow your heart and pursue CSE because that will help you in your future endeavors.

Hope this helps.

hi,

see as per 2022 gate official site, gate exam has no paper named as ceramic engineering,  very few  colleges of india offers b.tech in ceramic engineering. since gate exam score is evaluated for higher study as well as psu undertakings , the most common subjects are available for appearing in gate exam.

however you may select gate papers irrespective of your bachelors degree specialization.

so follow the  below link to know about syllabus and gate papers:

For Ceramic Engineering the best Institute in Todays date in IIT BHU, followed by NIT Rourkela and Government College of Ceramic Technology, West Bengal. For the former two you need to prepare for JEE Mains and Advanced Exam while for the latter option you need a WBJEE Score. All these institutes have excellent infrastructure, faculty and research facilities.Many of their Alumini today are excellent Refractory Technologists, Researchers, Academicians and brilliant Process Engineers. After Bachelors in Ceramic Technology many have even pursued their Masters degree in Metallurgical Engineering or Materials Science and are brilliant Metallurgists. Companies like Tata Steel, Jindal Stainless, JSW regularly recruit Ceramic Technologists for their Refractory Operations in Steel Plants. Besides this Piramal Glass, Saint Gobain, P&G, La Opala are other major recruiters.

Yeah, I suppose you can obviously do that ,provided you perform excellently in JEE Main.Only thing which you cant do is reappear for JEE Advanced and move to another IIT.

But my suggestion would instead of planning to waste a year and work for JEE again after moving to IIT, which itself is quite difficult and is quite a tedious and monotonous, you could plan to work seriously with the curriculum in first year, and subsequently slide branches to CSE/ECE/EE and hence open a whole range of opportunities to yourself.

At IIT BHU, the Branch Change policies are comparatively relaxed and easier than its older couterparts, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur and other top IITs.

One thing you can rely on in IIT BHU, is the sea of opportunities you get during Internships and Placements be it in Core/NonCore/Finance/IT/Consultancy besides the IIT tag. So, the ball's in your court, choose wisely, at the end its your career.

Hey there!

Both are some of the best Institutes in India. Firstly it depends on your choices. Do you want to pursue geology? Because it's really different from engineering which you would've initially goaled for. In terms of colleges, IIT Kharagpur is preferred over IIT BHU but both are great colleges, make a choice depending on what field you want to pursue.

Dear aspirant,

Hope you are doing well. As per your query IIT BHU is a very renowned college amongst all the IITs. Branches like CSE, IT and ECE has high placements there with great packages. But ceramic engineering or pharmaceutical engineering does not have that much scope in this college as core company visits are less. It is neither good nor bad. You can consider other branches if you want to take admission in IIT BHU. Please click on the link below for more information and updates. Hope you find this helpful. Thank you.

Hii there,

Dear candidate, please think once what you want to do, what is your ultimate Goal. I you want to get a secured job after 4 years then you can go for Ceramic engineering B. Tech programme at IIT Varanasi. You can get an average package of 10 to 21 lacs at campus placement. But if you want to go for further studies like PHD then you might opt for Dual degree programme. I am attaching links for both.
