The Department of Chemistry promotes a culture of intellectual engagement centered on the physical sciences. This culture is shared by a community of undergraduate students, faculty and staff. The faculty members are teacher–‐scholars who are dedicated to excellence in teaching and are deeply engaged in the production and dissemination of new knowledge. Using modern pedagogy in the classroom and collaborations between students and faculty in research, it is the goal of the faculty to instill in all students a sense of scientific inquiry that employs systematic, experimental and computational approaches to making and analyzing materials relevant to society and the natural world. The current community of faculty and students studies chemistry related to analytical, biochemical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry.
- The Department of Chemistry strives for an ideal balance between knowledge creation and knowledge dissemination in the chemical sciences, with a focus on student training and education.
- To create and maintain the programs of excellence in the areas of research, education, and public outreach.
- Our specific goal is to become a nationally recognized center of chemical sciences for modern education with a state of art centralized research facility.
- To bridge the gap between academia and industry by regularly updating the curriculum on par with recent developments in science and encourage doing in house projects.
- To educate and invoke the students to deliver their maximum out puts in competitive examination sand meet industrial competences.
- To serve a beacon of change, through multi-disciplinary learning, for creation of knowledge community, by building a strong character and nurturing a value-based transparent work ethics, promoting creative and critical thinking for holistic development and self-sustenance for the people of India.
