Department of Chemistry


The department has its own research lab with basic facilities to carryout research. The research lab started its function in the year 2014 even before the post graduate programme was started. The research findings of the faculties are published every year in well reputed peer reviewed journals, also present their research in National/international seminars and webinars. To motivate and inspire students to take-up research, the department has organized National and international Seminars and symposiums (Expanding Frontiers in Chemistry EFC) every year.
