You are talking about one of the prominent college of india..Obviously the faculty of every branch in IIT is vey good but if you are talking about placement statistics then according to last year the median salary of mechanical engineer is 10.1 lakh per annum and if we are talking about chemical engineering that is 11 lakh.Here is the link if you want to know in detail. http:// placement.iitm.ac.in/

Hello gautam,

Well it is a very subjective question , both branches are entirely different we cannot compare them, you should go with the branch which interests you more thats the sole criteria to determine, since these courses you wish to pursue are at IIT Madras both have good placement records , interships opportunities etc you will have to decide which interets you more whether its understanding the working mechanisms of heavy tools and machineries,dealing with construction, design, and manufacture of machines or  studying applications of physical sciences, life sciences, together with applied mathematics and economics to produce, transform, transport, and properly use chemicals, materials and energy for chemical engg.

Hope this helps
