Hello,

The placements of CSE and Chemical/Core branches differ and that is because of the industry demands you will not be able to find any college where a chemical department offers CSE level placements other than the highly prestigious ones e.g ICT,IITB,IITD,IITK,IIITM. In your situation I can suggest you two things here if you want good placements:

• Go for chemical engineering at VNIT because it will offer you a core branch for future scopes and broader avenues additionally you will also get a top NIT whereas minning being a new branch might not offer you same opportunities.
• Upskill yourself while you are in colleges through online courses, seminars, conferences. Stay updated about the advancements in technology because multiple organisations look for chemical engineers for Data Analyst roles.

Good luck, hope it helps!!
