Which is better, Jadavpur University, chemical engineering or DSCE Bangalore, ECE?
Ans: Jadavpur University’s Chemical Engineering is among India’s oldest and most prestigious, with a centenary legacy, global alumni, and a QS subject ranking of 351–400. It offers outstanding research infrastructure, 15 specialized labs, and a placement rate of 90% in 2024, with an average package of ?11 LPA and top recruiters like Tata, Maruti Suzuki, and global MNCs. The total four-year fee is only ?1.16 lakh, making it highly affordable. DSCE Bangalore’s ECE program is well-regarded in Karnataka, with a 4-year fee of ?10.46 lakh, 85–90% placement rates, and recruiters such as PhonePe, HCL, and Infosys. DSCE has strong industry links, 20 research centers, and modern labs, but its NIRF ranking is in the 201–300 band, and its national reputation is lower than Jadavpur’s. While DSCE ECE offers good placements and exposure in the electronics sector, Jadavpur’s Chemical Engineering stands out for its academic excellence, historic reputation, low fees, and placement consistency, with a strong research culture and global recognition.

Recommendation: Jadavpur University Chemical Engineering is the superior choice for its national prestige, affordability, high placement rate, and global alumni network, making it ideal for both core industry and advanced research careers. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
