ABOUT
Department Of Chemistry

The Department of Chemistry (Estd. 1972) offers two-year Master’s degree course in Chemistry. Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) has been introduced from 2015 to keep the Student up-to-date with development of higher education in India and abroad. The Post-Graduate curricula is recently undergone major orientation congruent with the development and trends in the subject to help the students to seek a career in different thrust areas of the subject like Organic Synthesis, Inorganic Chemistry, Organometallics, Material Chemistry, Polymers, Industrial Chemistry, Chemistry and Society, Nano-Chemistry, Drug regulation, Analytical Chemistry, Spectroscopy and Environmental Chemistry etc. In order to gain competency in research 4th semester Student has to take up research project in different areas of Chemistry.

Further, Department of Chemistry offers M. Phil. and Ph.D. degree. The M. Phil (1-Year) course is suitably designed to equip the students with both theoretical and research knowledge. The Ph.D. programme offered broad areas of Chemistry such as Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Organometallic, Bio-inorganic Chemistry, Water Treatments, Catalysis and Nanoparticles.

The Department of Chemistry regularly organizes conference and workshops in the field of Chemical Sciences and its applications in various fields.
