Department of Chemistry

One of the oldest Departments of this college, Department of Chemistry established in 1954 has a rich tradition of imparting high­quality teaching and research in cutting edge thrust areas of chemical science, providing intensive training to students. The academic excellence of the faculty is reflected in the publication of research articles in the journals of national and international repute and several books on varied aspects of chemistry. By virtue of its commitment to pre-eminence, this department offers core courses in Chemistry for undergraduate and post graduate students. Post graduate course began in the year 2009 and the Honors course for undergraduate classes in 2016. To blaze the scientific temper of the students and researchers, we have well-equipped laboratories and research laboratories with the latest instrument like Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, FTIR Spectrometer, Flame Photometer, UV Spectrophotometer, Digital Spectrophotometer, Digital pH meter, Colorimeter, Conductometer, Potentiometer, Fuming Chamber, Balance {Electronic and Digital), Mechanical Shaker, Double Distillation Assembly, Centrifuge Machine and Heating Mantle. For the enhancement of conceptual understanding in Chemistry, ACT-CONTECH, a concept-based test in Chemistry at national level is conducted regularly since 2010. Deserving students are selected for Summer Fellowships like POCE, JNCASR Bangalore etc. Every year many students qualify competitive exams like NET, GATE, RAS and JAM etc. Besides this, the department has a state of the art instrumentation facility and laboratory infrastructure for conducting quality research.
