The Department of Chemistry under the School of Physical and Chemical Sciences forms a key component of the university. The department is composed of dynamic faculty members and research scholars who are actively engaged in knowledge creation and dissemination at the frontiers of the Chemical Sciences. The discipline has an encompassing effect on the biological and physical sciences and is therefore considered a central science. Knowledge and skills in chemistry play a crucial role in finding the solutions to most of the challenges (eg. energy crisis, disease, and environment) faced by mankind today. The department believes in an interdisciplinary approach to learning and fosters a culture of excellence. Undergraduate students of chemistry have been nurtured and mentored well to compete at the national and international levels (eg. selection in IITs and IISERs for M.Sc./Int. Ph.D., for the summer research fellowships of National Academies of Sciences, award at National Science Film Festival and more…). The postgraduate programme, M.Sc. in Chemistry, was launched in the year 2018. The first two batches of M.Sc. students graduated in 2020 and 2021 amidst the raging COVID19 pandemic, many of them have been placed well in CSIR labs and other institutions of repute. The Ph.D. programme was started in the year 2019 and it is going on quite well with the recent augmentation of research infrastructure in the department. With these ongoing programmes, the department envisages scaling greater heights and producing globally competent chemists and scientists who can solve the pressing problems of the nation.
