Ans: Deepak, 2nd Drop NOT at all Advisable. At Harcourt Butler Technical University, Kanpur, the Chemical Engineering program offers robust placement outcomes, with an 85.6% placement rate in 2024 and an average package of 7 LPA. The department, boasting a long heritage since 1962, features faculty predominately holding PhDs and engaged in industry-linked research projects. The campus infrastructure includes modern chemical processing labs, central workshops, a library with over 70,000 volumes, and secure on-campus hostels. HBTU is ranked #51–100 in the State Public University category by NIRF, reflecting strong academic quality and graduation outcomes. Strategic partnerships like MoUs with the Bureau of Indian Standards on standardization and with IIT Kanpur’s SIIC for incubation provide exposure to industry standards and startup mentoring. The curriculum integrates industrial applications, polymer science, and water-treatment projects, fostering practical skills and employability.

Recommendation:
Given your current percentile and rank, securing Chemical Engineering at HBTU Kanpur offers a safe entry into a reputable program with solid placement prospects and industry exposure. However, if you aim for NITs or higher-tier institutions and can commit another year to preparation, a second drop could yield broader opportunities. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
