Though the number of jobs in India for chemical engineers are limited but still as the number of chemical engineers in India is very low as compared to other core branches such ME, EE, ET, CE etc therefore there are plenty of oppurtunities for all the students. Although the working conditions may not liked by all as they are not always comfortable. Hope this helps.

Hello,
To have a bright future in your line of study, it is best to go for higher studies in India or abroad. Research work will definitely get you a great job in many industries. If chemical engineering is not the field you want to work for, then there is always an option for you to learn coding and go for software jobs.
Good Luck!
