Department of Chemistry

About the Department

Chemical science become increasingly interdisciplinary and at the focal point of various fundamental scientific queries due to its diversity. Our department wishes to provide high level quality teaching along with state of art research to cultivate curious and inventive scholars such that they become competent enough to face the global challenges from academic perspective as well as from industry. Faculty of chemistry currently offers M.Sc. Chemistry and Ph.D. The diverse qualifications of the faculty members ensure expertise in all facet of chemistry as well as in various interdisciplinary areas. Department ensures academic flexibility and good deal of faculty-student interaction. We have introduced Choice Based Credit System as per the UGC mandate in PG course. Project work and seminar presentation are introduced in all courses to get an overview of the ongoing research and recent development in the subject. Developments of new methodology in organic/inorganic synthesis, supramolecular chemistry, biophysical chemistry, quantum chemistry, polymer chemistry, material chemistry, nanoscience and nanotechnology, etc. are the present thrust areas of research in the department.

Vision
