Department of Chemistry
History and Development
The Department of Chemistry was founded in 1996 with the introduction of the undergraduate programme. In 2017, the department expanded by starting the M.Sc. programme in Chemistry. It currently offers a three-year (six-semester) B.Sc. degree in Chemistry, along with a two-year (four-semester) M.Sc. Organic Chemistry programme. The postgraduate programme has an intake capacity of 10 students.
The objectives of the department are
- To encourage undergraduate and postgraduate research projects and facilitate participation in conferences and workshops.
- To identify and support students from rural backgrounds through mentorship, scholarships and academic support systems.
- To provide training in laboratory techniques, data analysis and the use of modern instrumentation.
- To motivate and guide students towards competitive exams and admission for higher studies like M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs.
- To establish linkage with research institutes and industries for exposure, internships and collaborative learning.
The faculty members of the Department are well-qualified, and the department maintains collaborations with various institutions and organizations. It is equipped with a strong research facility. Guided by its motto, “Empowering Rural Minds through Knowledge, Skills and Opportunities in Chemistry,” the staff and students continually strive to fulfil this vision. Since its establishment, the department has maintained an excellent and consistent academic track record. A large number of students graduate with first-class results, many achieving distinction. Through dedicated guidance and counselling, the department supports students in their academic growth and helps them secure placements in pharmaceutical and other chemical industries.
Mission
To provide quality education in chemistry through a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical skills, empowering students from rural backgrounds to pursue higher studies, research and meaningful careers.
