About the department
The department was established in the year 2009. The department has well qualified faculty members with an average experience of 16 years. The department has well equipped laboratory to facilitate the students to carry out the experiments. To inculcate students to learn in achieving something substantial for developing their career and contemplate by solving Environmental problems of mankind. The Department is provided with well equipped lab and individual attention is given to the students.
To motivate the faculty of the department to undertake research in addition to teaching undergraduates they are encouraged to participate in various National and International conferences in India and abroad to enhance their knowledge base. The Department is actively engaged in research areas of Pharmaceutics, Corrosion, Material Chemistry and Medicinal Chemistry.

Head's message
The boundaries are indistinct between Chemistry and Technology. It is not easy to know where one ends and the other begins. Chemistry proposes explanations for observations about the natural world. On the other hand, technology proposes solutions for problems of human adaptation to the environment. Since Chemistry and Technology go hand in hand, it helps us to know enough about our world and solves all the problems that ultimately impact quality of life. Taken together, Chemistry and Technology in the classroom are combined to prepare students who not only create, design and build, but also understand the nature and behavior of the materials present in the Nature. They have the ‘know-why is the Chemistry’ and ‘know-how is the technology’ that lead to creativity and innovation.
The Department of Chemistry has highly qualified, experienced and research-oriented faculty. They are encouraged to undertake research and participate in various National and International Conferences in India and abroad to enhance their knowledge. Engineering Chemistry Labs are well equipped with high-end instruments and well aerated system. The Department is actively involved in Research and Development activities in the emerging areas of Nano Technology, Medicinal Chemistry and Photo degradation of dyes.
