Department of Chemistry


Profile

The Department of Chemistry was set up when the college was established in 1993 with a strength of 40 students and 3 faculty. Courses then offered were B.Sc. MPC (Maths, Physics, Chemistry) and B.Sc. MBC (Microbiology, Botany, Chemistry). The department aims at holistic development of the students by conducting various workshops, Value-added courses, Skill-Enhancement courses, Guest lectures, Field-visits etc. The students are also motivated to pursue higher studies and research in the field through interaction with eminent scientists from various premier institutes in and around the world.
At present, the department offers six courses MiGC(Microbiology, Genetics, Chemistry), MBiC(Microbiology, Biochemistry, Chemistry), BtGC(Biotechnology, Genetics, Chemistry), MNDC (Microbiology, Nutrition, and Dietetics, Chemistry), BtMbC( Biotechnology, Microbiology, Chemistry) and BcNDC(Biochemistry, Nutrition & Dietetics, Chemistry). The department now consists of six faculty members and around 400 students.
