Department Highlights:

Established in 1937 alongside the founding of the institution, the Department of Chemistry is one of the largest and most vibrant departments, offering comprehensive programs at the undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral levels.
The department pioneered postgraduate education in Inorganic Chemistry in 1952, subsequently expanding to include postgraduate courses in Organic and Physical Chemistry from 1976 onwards. Currently, the department comprises 9 permanent faculty members, with 3 being proud alumni of the college, alongside 2 contractual lecturers and 18 dedicated non-teaching staff. Our academic and research activities are supported by five well-equipped laboratories and an ICT-enabled classroom spanning over 2000 square meters.
Our department has been the recipient of significant research grants such as STAR, FIST, DST, and the Women Scientist Award. State-of-the-art infrastructure includes advanced instrumentation like Flame Photometer, Spectrophotometer, Surface Area Analyzer, and Photochemical Reactor, facilitating  cutting-edge research and learning.
To foster experiential learning, the department organizes industrial visits, hands-on training sessions in analytical instrumentation, and research-driven projects. Students gain exposure to the central analytical facilities at GNIRD & NFB, featuring sophisticated equipment such as HPLC, LC-MS, and HPTLC systems. The academic environment is further enriched by activities like Chemistry Day celebrations, Parent– Teacher interactions, the E-3 Lecture Series by eminent scientists, and Performance Improvement Program (PIP).
Our department takes pride in maintaining an outstanding academic record, with nearly 100%  postgraduate success rates and exemplary placement outcomes for our students.
