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.

“The Life Sciences Roadmap: Jobs, Higher Studies and Research”

The Faculty of Life Sciences, in association with the Career Guidance and Placement Cell (CGPC), Bhavan's Vivekananda College, organized a comprehensive Career Counselling Program titled "The Life Sciences Roadmap: Jobs, Higher Studies and Research" for the B.Sc. III Year Life Sciences students of BTGC and BTMC on 04th July 2026. A total of 50 students participated in the program. The programme was designed to provide students with a clear understanding of higher education opportunities, career prospects, competitive examinations, research pathways, and employment options in the field of Life Sciences.
The programme commenced with the inaugural address by Dr. K. Anuradha, Head, Department of Microbiology and In-charge for Life Sciences. She emphasized the importance of higher education in today's competitive environment and encouraged students to plan their careers systematically by developing a well-defined academic and professional roadmap. She highlighted the need for continuous learning, skill development, and informed career planning to achieve long-term success.

“MASS SPECTROMETRY”

A guest lecture on "Mass Spectrometry" was organized by the Department of Chemistry, Bhavan's Vivekananda College of Science, Humanities and Commerce, on 27th June 2026. The session was delivered by Dr. V. Jeevana Jyothi, Head of the Department of Chemistry and Forensic Science, RBVRR Women's College. The lecture aimed to provide students with an understanding of the principles, instrumentation, and applications of mass spectrometry in chemistry and forensic science.
The resource person began the session by explaining the basic principle of mass spectrometry as an analytical technique used to determine the molecular mass and chemical composition of compounds. She described the working process of the instrument, which involves ionization of molecules, separation of ions based on their mass-to-charge (m/z) ratio, and detection to generate a mass spectrum. The importance of molecular ions and fragment ions in identifying unknown compounds was also discussed.
