Core + IT Hybrid Placements
The 2025 batch saw a 40% placement rate with recruiters spanning IT services, PSUs like ONGC and IOCL, pharma firms, and research labs. If you are targeting hardcore R&D leadership, a PhD after this will open those doors.
The verdict
Good fit
This program is a smart pick if you want an affordable, brand-name NIT credential in Chemistry. At ₹66.5K for the full degree, with hostel and scholarship support, it is built for students who care about value. The trade-off is that placements are moderate and core chemistry salaries start modest, so treat this as a launchpad for PhD, teaching, or PSU exams rather than a direct ticket to a high-paying private job.
