Hi dear,

Hope you are doing well!

Now let's go through your question.

Industrial Chemistry is somewhere between Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry.

Ironically, in IIT BHU, engineering courses in chemistry started under the name of Industrial Chemistry and later the department was renamed to Chemical Engineering and Technology. On the other hand, applied chemistry course was introduced quite later which is now available as a five year course in Industrial Chemistry.(Check out the institute website for more details)

So as you see, it is quite confusing!

Hence let's be practical

Here in IIT BHU, Industrial Chemistry goes with close relationship to Chemical Engineering in terms of opportunities. With more than 90 years of legacy, the alumni base from these departments is huge which itself speaks for placement potential.

If you are not interested in Industrial Chemistry, branch change is an option and is relatively easy in IIT BHU, as compared to other IITs; the only limitation being that you can change among five year courses only.

You can opt for newer IITs, if you expect your desired branch but choose wisely as in my opinion, not all the new IITs are at par with IIT BHU.

Thank You & All the best!

The department of industrial chemistry of BHU is well known and established. The placement scenario of Industrial Chemistry students is very good. In fact, the placements of Industrial Chemistry is better than most other branches. Overall I can tell you that Industrial Chemistry BHU is a very good department. With more than 90 years of legacy, the alumni base of this department is huge which speaks of placement potential.
