Major Discipline of the Department

Considering the need of the modern time the department focuses on four major branches. These are: 

• Chemical Engineering and Environmental Chemistry
• Metallurgy, Corrosion and Materials Science
• Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Pharmaceutics
• Chemical Technology, Polymer Science, Textiles Materials,  Fuel & Petrochemicals

Curriculum, Exam & Results

The B.Sc. (Eng.) courses in Applied Chemistry and Chemical Engineering consists of 31 theoretical courses (including six related courses) spread over a period of four academic years. There are 17 days practical examinations, 200 marks viva voce examinations and 125 marks in-plant trainings distributed in four academic years. The Master of Science course is held in two groups: The general group (Group A) and the Thesis group (Group B). The Group A examination consists of 6 theoretical courses, 8 days practical examinations, viva voce and in-plant training. Students of the Group B are more advanced and allowed to undertake research works in lieu of practical courses.

Seminar Library

The Department has a library of its own. It has about 40 seat capacities. Books and journals of various disciplines are available here.

Laboratory Facilities

The department has 6 practical class laboratories namely Organic, Industrial, Physical, Chemical Engineering, Pharmaceutical and Polymer and almost a dozen of research laboratories.

In-plant Training Facility

10-20 days in-plant training in different chemical process industries of the country is compulsory for both B.Sc. Eng. and Masters students.

Research Activities

   Researches on various fields are going on in the department.
