The Department of Chemistry is committed to research and teaching since its inception in 2010. It is located in Academic Block-4A4 since May 23, 2015. Department has Research Lab (07), Computer Lab (01), Instrumentation Halls (02), PG Practical Lab (02), Teaching Classrooms (02), Girls Common Room (01), Eighty-seater Seminar Hall (01) and Conference Hall (01). The department started master’s in science (Chemistry) 2-year programme in 2010 and immersed with full time Ph. D. programme in 2012, Integrated M. Sc. (Chemistry) 5-year programme in 2013 and Integrated M. Sc. B. Ed. (Chemistry as Major) 3-year programme in 2015. Each programme follows choice-based credit system (CBCS) along with core courses and student evaluation composed of continuous assessment through semester examination. The Ph.D. programme in Chemistry aim to train the students with basic and cutting-edge research protocols. We have crossed traditional vertical boundaries of scientific disciplines in past 8-years of journey and emerged with drug designing, organometallic chemistry, bioorganic & bio-inorganic chemistry, materials chemistry, theoretical chemistry in line with gaining more strength towards asymmetric synthesis, heterocyclic/macrocyclic chemistry and organic spectroscopy. Presently, our research programme focuses on:
- Organic and Heterocyclic Synthesis
- Drug Design and synthesis of biologically active molecules
- Synthetic Methodologies, Asymmetric Synthesis and Natural Product Synthesis
- Organometallic Chemistry and Homogeneous Catalysis
- Coordination & Bio-Inorganic Chemistry and Imaging Agent in Biology
- Solar Energy Harvesting and Water Oxidation
- Functional molecular materials: fabrication, properties, and applications
- Nanowires, Superhydophobic Surfaces and optoelectronic
- Nano-Materials, Thin films, Fibers and Catalysis
- Theoretical Chemistry: Molecular spectroscopy, Singlet fission, Quantum nonadiabatic dynamics
The department is funded by DST-FIST and faculty received research grants from various funding agencies such as CSIR, DST, UGC, etc.
