If you're strong in chemistry and willing to work hard on math and physics, chemical engineering could be a good fit. If the math/physics challenge seems too daunting, consider biotechnology, environmental science, materials science, or pharmaceutical sciences. Research for careers and talk to professionals to make the best choice for you, that is you may take career counseling.

All the best

Admission to Manipal University's BSc in Cardiovascular Technology is based on the Manipal Entrance Test (MET). Several courses at Manipal require MET, but some may have additional criteria. For specific eligibility and admission details, refer to the official website.

Hello Sachin,

If you’re good at Chemistry but have moderate performance in Maths and are barely passing Physics , opting for Chemical Engineering may present challenges, as it requires a strong understanding of both Physics and Mathematics in addition to Chemistry . Chemical Engineering involves subjects like thermodynamics, fluid mechanics , and chemical reactions , which require a solid grasp of Physics and Maths.

However, if you have a strong interest in Chemistry and are willing to work on improving your physics and math skills, you could still consider Chemical Engineering . You may also want to evaluate if your passion for Chemistry outweighs the challenges in Physics and Math.

Alternative Courses to Consider:

  1. B.Tech in Biotechnology – This field integrates biology, chemistry, and technology and may be more suitable if you're passionate about Biology and Chemistry .

  2. B.Sc. in Chemistry – If you prefer staying within Chemistry and exploring deeper aspects, a B.Sc. in Chemistry can lead to research, teaching, or higher studies in Chemistry .

  3. Pharmaceutical Sciences – If you're interested in Chemistry and its applications in medicine, this field could offer you a pathway to work in pharmaceuticals or drug development .

  4. Environmental Engineering – This field involves Chemistry and Physics but focuses on addressing environmental issues, which could be a better fit if you're interested in sustainable development and environmental protection .

  5. Food Technology – A combination of Chemistry and Biology , focusing on the science behind food processing, safety, and development.

Ultimately, the best choice will depend on your long-term interests, your ability to improve in the areas you're struggling with, and your willingness to face the challenges in the subjects you find difficult.


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

Hello

Since you are good at chemistry but find physics challenging , Chemical Engineering could still be an option, but it may be tough due to the physics heavy curriculum in the initial years.

If you are unsure about managing physics in Chemical Engineering , you might want to consider other branches where chemistry is more central and physics plays a less significant role.

Some alternatives to Chemical Engineering

1. B.Tech in Biotechnology – Focuses on biological sciences and technology and chemistry is heavily involved.

2. B.Tech in Environmental Engineering – Involves chemistry and environmental science but less emphasis on physics compared to Chemical Engineering.

3. B.Sc. in Chemistry – A pure chemistry course, allowing you to specialize in various fields like organic, inorganic or analytical chemistry.

4. B.Tech in Food Technology – Combines chemistry with food science and can be a good fit if you are interested in food industries.

5. B.Sc. in Biochemistry – A blend of chemistry and biology, often with less emphasis on physics.

6. Pharmaceutical Sciences – Focused on the chemistry of drug development, which could suit your strengths in chemistry.

hope this helps you .
