Welcome to the vanguard of chemical engineering education: the School of Chemical Engineering (SCHEME) at VIT Vellore. Since its inception in 1994, our B.Tech program, underpinned by the transformative Fully Flexible Credit System (FFCS), empowers students with unparalleled autonomy in sculpting their academic journey. This dynamic four-year program cultivates active learning and fosters the development of future industry leaders.
SCHEME stands as a beacon of academic prowess, securing a prestigious position within the 250-300 bracket in the QS World University Rankings and achieving an impressive 11th rank in National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF). Our state-of-the-art infrastructure, coupled with the expertise of our highly qualified and dedicated faculty, provides an unparalleled learning environment.
We are committed to equipping our students with the cutting-edge tools demanded by industry. Rigorous, hands-on training on industry-standard software such as ASPEN PLUS, ANSYS, COMSOL, MATLAB, KAPPA, Pro SIM, and SOLIDWORKS ensures our graduates are immediately impactful. Our robust industry connections, forged through consultancy, sponsored research, and continuing education, further solidify our commitment to practical relevance.
SCHEME is a crucible of innovation, driving cutting-edge research in pivotal areas including Nanomaterials, Sustainability, Fluidization, Membrane Separation, Waste Management, Oil and Gas Engineering, Green Technology, Cleaner Production, Advanced Chemical Process Modeling and Simulation. Our dedication to research excellence is evidenced by our prolific publication record in high-impact, peer-reviewed international journals, marking us as a formidable force in the research and development arena.
Our vibrant student chapters – American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers (IIChE), and Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) – foster professional growth through impactful seminars and workshops. The AIChE chapter's nine-time consecutive recognition as an outstanding student chapter, the SPE chapter's 2019 Presidency Excellence Outstanding Student Chapter Award, and the IICHE-VIT Chapter's 2023 Best Chapter Award (Ambuja Cements) underscore our commitment to student excellence.
This comprehensive and meticulously designed approach ensures our graduates are exceptionally prepared to assume leadership roles across a spectrum of industries, including oil and gas, petrochemicals, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, specialty chemicals, polymers, food, paints, textiles, ceramics, paper and pulp, design and construction, and business services.
We extend our deepest gratitude to every member of SCHEME whose unwavering dedication has propelled us to our current stature. As we set our sights on the next level of achievement, we invite you to join us in our collective pursuit of advancing humanity. We are confident that the School of Chemical Engineering at VIT will play a pivotal role in realizing these noble aspirations.
