Department of Chemistry
The Department of Chemistry was established in 1967 with the inception of the college. It began offering undergraduate programs in 1980 with the introduction of the B.Sc. in Chemistry. Alongside the core B.Sc. Chemistry course, the department provides Chemistry as a complementary subject for B.Sc. Zoology students and offers an open course in Environmental Chemistry available to students from other departments. In 2002, the department expanded its offerings to the postgraduate level with the introduction of the M.Sc. course in Pure Chemistry. Over the years, the department has produced distinguished academicians, researchers, and professionals, focusing on student development through quality education, research, co-curricular activities, and job placement. Beyond its primary responsibilities of teaching and mentoring students, the department is actively engaged in various extension activities. These include organizing seminars on current and general interest topics, exhibitions, and awareness classes for both PG and UG students. To further enhance students’ knowledge and skills, the department conducts inter-departmental and inter-collegiate activities. The Department of Chemistry is dedicated to enhancing technical skills, and sensitizing students to social and environmental issues through its social awareness and service-learning programs. Additionally, the department participates in numerous outreach programs aimed at societal upliftment.
