The Department of Chemistry was established in 1980. It offers four different specializations in chemistry with Organopharmaceutical Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Physical and material science, and Inorganic Chemistry. Various industrial and institutional visits are also organized by the department to motivate the students. Students are also encouraged to do research at M.Sc. Programm by assigning them small projects for which they have to submit a dissertation.

Mission:

  1. To train maximum manpower for research and industrial training.
  2. To solve research problems of small as well as large scale industries.
  3. To encourage students to widen their knowledge by interacting with national and international eminient scientists.

 

Vision:

  1. To attract foreign students for higher education and research.
  2. To strengthen International collaborations.
  3. To strengthen Industry-academic interactions through collaborative work and quality education.
  4. To increase English proficiency in students.

Department offers 2 years (04 Semesters) Programs of Master of Science (Chemistry) in Grant-in-aid (GIA)(50 seats) and Self- Finance (SF)(50 seats) Admissions by preparation of centralized merit list category wise. Department follows strictly reservation policy as per Govt. Instruction.

Masters of Science (M.Sc.) in (Chemistry) programs is of two year (04 Semesters) that combine classroom learning with lab. Practice. This Master course in chemistry is a preparation to pursue PhD or R.&D chemist, which is widely considered the prerequisite degree to become a professional chemist.
