Chemistry is offered as a part of several subject combinations. The thrust is in developing a strong foundation in the basic concepts. The curriculum covers every area of Chemistry, comprising inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry and physical chemistry. These basics are supplemented with specialized topics like green chemistry, photochemistry and applied chemistry. The students’ potentials are honed by allowing them to venturing into outside the classroom activities like taking part in poster presentations, workshops etc.

The Masters Programme offers an exciting range of educational opportunities, with strengths in both the fundamental area of the discipline, and in significant new areas and applications. Graduate-level coursework and research opportunities are available in physical, organic, inorganic, and analytical chemistry as well as in a substantial number of cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary areas such as material sciences, surface science, spectroscopy, magnetochemistry, and biological chemistry. Moreover, the department has an excellent array of equipment for research/ project works.

Chemical analysis is a common feature linking earth sciences, pharmaceutical sciences, environmental sciences, petrochemical industry, forensic sciences etc. An analytical chemist can help identify and solve problems in these varied areas of research. Against this backdrop and with the sole aim of moulding students with the requisite skill-set needed to be employable analysts; we offer MSc. Chemistry (Analytical) from June 2018. The course has been designed with special emphasis on developing research aptitude, providing a strong background in instrumental techniques and enhancing employability.
The course includes topics such as Qualitative Optical Spectroscopy, Electroanalytical Chemistry, Modern Separation Chemistry, Clinical and Regulatory aspects of Drug Discovery, Bioanalysis, Environmental Analysis and an industrial training program.
