Introduction and Overview
Chemical engineering is basically a branch of engineering in which we study about chemical operation, chemical production and methods of improving and increasing chemical production at industrial level. It also includes commercial processes, compounding and refining raw material. MS Chemical Engineering is 2 years master program which is offered after BS Chemical Engineering. In MS Chemical Engineering, the students study about chemical engineering at major level. Admissions are offered after bachelor degree. The developed countries pay attention on their chemical industries.
