What is scope of manufacturing engineering at BITS Pilani. Is it better than chemical engineering?

Manufacturing at bits shares about 50% courses with mechanical eng. It focuses more on the production and operations management part of any industry. They have almost equal opportunities as mechanical engineers but have limited scope in few fields.
But again that depends on a person”s skillset which is in no way limited by his discipline.
Now coming to the reality at bits. Earlier many companies refused to accept manuf engineers, the sole reason being lack of information.
The placement unit has finally begun to put in effort to better inform companies. The result being that now most of the companies have mech/manu in their eligibility criteria. Last year itself schlumberger recruited equal no of students from mech, manu and chemical. But still there is scope for improvement and the placement /practice school division needs to do a better job in informing companies.
Overall avg salary is the same and also most core companies hire equally from either branch.
As far as going for ms /mtech is concerned there is absolutely no difference and its totally upto you to pursue your interests.
