Ans: It may be a good choice if you don't have better offers from NITs, IIITs, or top state colleges.

Ans: Akshat, With a JEE Main CRL of 37,314, securing a seat in Computer Science, Information Technology, or ECE at premier IIITs is highly unlikely, as last-round closing ranks for CSE at IIITs like Bangalore (8,706), Pune (17,637), Nagpur (23,445) and Sri City (30,681) all fall well below your rank. In contrast, Chemical Engineering at NIT Nagpur (last-round General AI closing rank ~28,900) and SVNIT Surat (30,056) remains within reach. Both NITs are National Institutes of Technology with NBA-accredited curricula, experienced PhD faculty, modern chemical process and pilot-plant labs, industry-aligned internships and centralized placement cells. VNIT Nagpur’s Chemical branch achieved a 69.88% placement rate in 2024, including top PSU recruiters like ONGC and GAIL, while SVNIT Surat’s Chem Eng sees 30,056–34,327 rank allotments with strong core-sector hiring.

For assured seat allocation, robust core chemical engineering training and direct PSU recruitment pipelines, the recommendation is to choose Chemical Engineering at NIT Nagpur. As an alternative with comparable opportunities and high PSU engagement, opt for Chemical Engineering at SVNIT Surat. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
