M.E (Chemical Engineering) or Master of Engineering in Chemical Engineering is a Post-Graduate Chemical Engineering course. It deals with the field of science or technology and covers one of the main subjects Chemical Engineering. Chemical engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the application of physical science (e.g., chemistry and physics), and life sciences (e.g., biology, microbiology, and biochemistry) with mathematics and economics, to the process of converting raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms.

The duration of Master of Engineering in Chemical Engineering is generally two years but it may vary from institute to institute and also maybe on a part-time basis by certain institutes. The syllabus for the Master of Engineering course in Chemical Engineering is divided into four semesters plus elective subjects. The Master of Engineering course in Chemical Engineering is a very valuable and important one that offers a lot of job scopes for the candidates after its completion. This Master of Engineering course in Chemical Engineering is mostly done by the students who have expected of becoming lecturers/professors both at colleges and university level.

M.E (Chemical Engineering) Eligibility

  • Aspiring candidates should have completed B.Tech / B.E in Biomedical, Chemical, Computer Science, Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation, Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgy and Materials Science, Telecommunications Engineering, and Engineering Physics degree under any registered University.
  • The marks of admission for this course may vary from University to University.
  • In various colleges and universities, there is an entrance exam for the admission of the courses.

Thesis

Note: The student is required to make a seminar presentation (s) of the results achieved before the submission of the thesis.

  • The Post Graduate Student Research Committee (PGRC) of the Institute will evaluate the Thesis. The constitution of the committee is as under:
    • Chairperson of the institute
    • Senior professor of the institute
    • Supervisors
    • External examiner
  • The PGRC will evaluate the final thesis based on an open house presentation by the student, which will be attended by the faculty members, PG students, and other research scholars of the institute.
  • No marks are assigned to Preliminary Thesis and Thesis evaluation work. On successful completion and presentation of Research Seminars, the candidate will be awarded ‘S’ grade i.e. satisfactory, or else ‘X’ grade i.e., unsatisfactory.
  • The requirement for the award of an M.E in Chemical Engineering degree is 75 credits with a minimum CGPA of 6.0 and successful completion of thesis work.

 

M.E (Chemical Engineering) Colleges

M.E (Chemical Engineering) Course Suitability

  • They should possess strong technical ability and high motivation, excellent analytical, communication and teamwork skills, hardworking, good at organizing and solving problems are the most suitable for it.
  • Students who are interested or desirous in Chemical Engineering and willing to go for teaching fields at higher degree level i.e., college and university level both in private and government institutions are most suitable for this course.
  • Those who like working with tools, drawing sketches of complex things and operations, and conceptualizing forms and structures and have good computer skills.
