The Department of Chemistry was established in 1955 during the inception of the institute. We offer Undergraduate, Postgraduate & Ph.D. programmes in various domains of pure and applied chemistry. The department has witnessed continuous growth and development in terms of  sponsored projects, publications, patents, advanced research facilities, national and international collaborations and many more. Our alumni have made us immensely proud through their achievements and are our brand ambassadors across the globe. The Department has received support under “Fund for Improvement in Science & Technology Infrastructure” (FIST-2012) programme of the Department of Science and Technology, New Delhi for NMR and Computational Chemistry facility.

The department is engaged in pure chemistry, applied and interdisciplinary research in all branches of chemistry, specializing in emerging materials for various applications from biomaterials, environmental remediation, energy harvesting materials, composites, sensors, supercapacitors, drug discovery and molecular modeling, to theoretical chemistry and quantum chemistry research. Faculty members have research support through various funding agencies like SERB, DST, ICMR. AICTE, UGC, DBT. The department has state of the art laboratories and excellent research facilities like NMR, UV Vis Spectrophotometer, FTIR, Spectrofluorometer, solar simulator, electrospinning and many others.

The department has conducted various events like international and national conferences supported by various agencies, workshops through DST STUTI , AICTE VAANI, Academic lecture series jointly supported by all the three Indian academies, IASC, INSA and NASI. The department regularly organizes invited lectures, talks, outreach programs, training activities, student activities for a holistic growth and vibrant work environment.

The department has recently initiated NEP based B.Sc and M.Sc program in Chemistry as per new education policy guidelines with multiple entry and exit options. This program is likely to create more employment opportunities than conventional degree courses.
