Chemistry came into existence from the session 2016-17. The Department of Chemistry is devoted to academics and research in subject areas like organic synthesis, organometallics, heterocyclic chemistry, catalysis, polymer chemistry, flame retardancy, medicinal chemistry etc. The laboratories of the department and Central Instrumentation Laboratory (CIL) are well equipped with modern and sophisticated equipments like NMR, LC-MS/MS, UHPLC, GC, UV, AAS, FTIR, UV-VIS-NIR, DSC, MPAES, FESEM with EDX etc. to provide exposure and first hand working experience to the students. The student’s intake in M.Sc. programme is 50+ and in Dual Degree B.Sc. (Hons.) Chemistry-M.Sc. Chemistry intake is 45+. The M.Sc. programme is of two years duration which is divided into four semesters and Dual Degree B.Sc. (Hons.) Chemistry-M.Sc. Chemistry is of five years duration. Apart from the course curriculum, annual science quiz, extension lecturers, industrial visit, workshop and interaction with industry people are other important activities of the department. More than 400 students of this Department have so far cleared the NET/JRF/GATE examination and faculty members of the department have published more than 200 research papers in good impact journals of repute during the last 5 years.
