The Department of Chemistry is one of the first Departments (1997) to function with dedicated faculty members, modern laboratories, a vibrant research atmosphere, ample prospects for hands-on research experience, access to sprouting and precocious research areas such as advanced materials for engineering applications, bio-inorganic chemistry, bio-organic chemistry, tissue engineering, nanomaterials, biocatalysis, coordination chemistry, water treatment and smart materials for food preservation. It is a perfect place for young minds to pursue their higher education in Chemistry. Our devotion to excellence in pedagogy and research has enabled the students to accomplish distinction in academia and industry. With state-of-the-art research facilities and efficient management, our academic staff have participated in several rewarding collaborations with leading multinational specialists in academia and disseminated more than 90 research articles and a few textbooks. The dedication of our department and our faculty members towards research and teaching have been recognized by the funding agencies like DST and VGST with research projects. To carry out research, the R&D lab presently houses equipment such as Gas Chromatograph, Karl Fisher Analyser, Rota-evaporator, UV-Visible spectrophotometer, FT-IR spectrophotometer, and corrosion testing tools. Students are provided a comprehensive practical exposure at regular intervals to diverse instrumental methods necessary for their studies.
