DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY

HOME > DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY

The Department of chemistry came in to existence in year 2014. Department of Chemistry has always been engaged in teaching, research, minor research project and up grading the skill of students in various area of chemistry. Mentoring students is one of our greatest strengths. We have a very vibrant and dedicated group of students pursuing research career in various fields. The chief mission of the department is to generate excellent quality chemists with high professional competence in interdisciplinary research encompassing biology, chemistry and physics, for national needs. The students are provided a comprehensive practical exposure to the various instrumental techniques required for their research.

The Department has well equipped laboratories in the fields of physical, analytical and inorganic chemistry, heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis and adsorption studies, electrochemistry, high pressure chemistry, surface chemistry, organic chemistry and photochemistry. In recent years, new facilities have been added in other areas of activities such as biochemistry, organometallic chemistry, polymer chemistry, solid state and structural chemistry.

These aims are served well by:
  • Well-equipped laboratories which are upgraded from time to time.
  • A competent, hardworking, sincere faculty.
  • An enthusiastic, forward looking, supportive management.
  • Industrial visits for students in every year.
  • Encouraging students to participate in various national conferences, workshops and seminars.
We strive to enrich the teaching-learning process by way of
  • Regular tests and assignments.
  • External guest lectures by subject experts.
  • Encouraging students to make presentations, organize seminars, and other activities.
OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE
  • To create interest in chemistry among the students.
  • To make students familiar with the evolutionary growth of chemistry related to the topic.
  • To encourage scientific thinking among the students through laboratory sessions.
  • To encourage students to maintain a scientific temperament in life.
  • To motivate greater numbers of students to take up post graduate studies and research.
  • To expose students to opportunities for self-employment.
COURSE OFFERED

Bachelor of Science in Chemistry is an undergraduate course which introduces students to the fundamentals of chemical sciences. It is a 3-year course and is divided into 6 semesters. The basic eligibility for admission to the course is a 10+2 with science subjects including Chemistry.

course highlights

Mentioned below are some of the major highlights of the course.
SCOPE AFTER B.Sc. CHEMISTRY

Students who have an understanding of the fundamental principles and application of Chemistry have many opportunities and higher studies to attain a deep-embedded understanding of this vast field.

Nowadays most of the industries use the chemicals in everything directly or indirectly like in pharmaceuticals, electronic products, construction even in food products. This creates an opportunity for chemical science graduates, as they have vast and in-depth knowledge about the different types of chemicals, compositions and their properties. The research laboratories or industries (mainly chemical & pharmaceutical) and colleges & universities are the two major sectors where they recruit the chemical graduates.

Note: Most of the students go for IIT JAM Exam to complete their Master’s Degree through top colleges in India like IITs, NITs, CFITs etc.
