The verdict

Good fit

A 60-seat program with an 85% placement rate and ₹12.8 LPA average CTC from core-sector giants is hard to ignore. The ₹21.8L fee is steep, but the BITS brand and PSU+FMCG recruiting pipeline offer solid ROI for dedicated chemical engineering aspirants. Just remember: BITSAT is the only gateway, so your prep needs to be razor-sharp.
