Chemical engineering:

If chemistry is the subject that has always been your forte then Chemical engineering is the profession that you'll definitely excel at! It is a course that involves design, installation and maintenance of large scale chemical plants. Various chemical technology fields like mineral based industries, petrochemical plants, pharmaceuticals, synthetic fibers, petroleum refining plants etc. are covered under this course. Worrying about the future scope in this field is out of question since it is immense because of industrial expansion and the related scarcity of resources needed. Out of all the branches of engineering this one is the most versatile as it covers areas from biotechnology and nanotechnology to mineral processing. To get admitted into BE/B.Tech in Chemical Engineering the basic degree required is 10+2 or equivalent examination, with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. There are both degree as well as diploma courses.

Career Prospects:

Once you have your degree in chemical engineering you'll have multiple career options open in front of you since the field itself is very vast. You can find jobs with chemical industries, refineries, manufacturers of acids, medicines, varnishes, paints, fertilizers, research laboratories, etc. both in the public as well as private sector. You can also be employed in manufacturing fields other than that of chemicals. Areas such as processing, operations or manufacturing, research and development, design and construction, finance or teaching also open up for you inevitably. With an addition of a management degree after chemical engineering, your employment opportunities just grow wider.
