The verdict
Good fit
ICT Mumbai’s PhD in Chemical Engineering is a steal at ₹50k/year if you’re committed to research. With recruiters spanning CSIR, DRDO, ISRO, Reliance R&D and BASF R&D, the programme sets you up for core R&D and academic roles. The GATE/NET/Institute entrance route is competitive, but the low cost and scholarship support make it a solid launchpad.
