The School of Chemical Engineering offers B. Tech in Chemical Engineering to the candidates selected through VITEEE (VIT Entrance Examination). The Programme imparts fundamentals of Chemical Engineering while simultaneously developing problem-solving capabilities through its multi-disciplinary curriculum. School of Chemical Engineering at VIT University has been keen on its growth by incorporating the seeds of core Chemical Engineering principles in the young minds, from innovating, designing, optimizing, economizing to troubleshooting of myriads of industrial processes and research. Students have to accomplish a Bachelor Thesis Project in their last year of the programme. The course structure provides an optimal mix of core and elective courses. Chemical Engineers do it all to make the world easier, safer and comfortable for the human civilization to prosper.
