This is one Question which one or other day comes into the mind of any Engineer persuing any Engineering that How much his starting salary would be ? Isn't it, And the answer to the above Question forms the basis of, Which Engineering stream people choose to do...!
However
any Engineer has to face many problems at the starting of his
career
for eg. He would get a low starting salary as he may have the knowledge, but
have no experience about how to apply it , Had to work for maximum hours a day and
many more. But Once the Fresher tag is removed and

Now
talking about the average starting salary of a Chemical
Engineer,
Chemical Engineering continues to be the Best paid of all
Engineering

starting
salary.
The
National Association of Colleges and Employers( NACE ) reported
that
between 1999 - 2000 the average starting salary offer made to a Graduating
Chemical Engineering student was approximately $49,418
with
a Bachelor's degree.
The UK's Institution of Chemical Engineers in 2006 reported the average starting salary for Chemical Engineering graduates was approximately £24,000 ( $30,170 ) , with an average salary for all Chemical Engineers of about £53,000 ( $66,626 ).
According to US Department of Labour in 2008 the median starting salary for Chemical Engineers was approximately $67,420.

But
however this is not the case of Chemical Engineers in India. The starting
salary offered to a FRESHER Chemical Engineer is often 15,000
– 20,000 INR per month. But as soon as he gains experience the salary goes
on increasing. For eg. After 10 years of experience he
may also get 1,00,000 – 1,50,000 INR per month. And further more
experience gets you even more salary. Also, In India according to National Salary Data in 2012 the
Highest starting salary offered to a

So from all the above statistical data we can say that students persuing Chemical Engineering need not have to worry because if they excel in their academics they can surely earn very well...!!
