Dear All, Pl read the attached news item today, related to salaries for fresh BS graduates. That ChEs receive the highest salary is not new - it has been this way for a long time. Our demanding curriculum, with additional strengths in chemistry which is different from the other majors and leads to job opportunities in a broader set of industries, coupled with hard work and dedication of the students, staff and faculty throughout the country, makes this happen. As one of the nation's largest producers of ChE graduates, we take special pride in such news. Thank you for all your efforts! Best, Arvind Arvind Varma R.
