Chemistry is a colourful fundamental subject of science which has a lot of importance in engineering and technology. The subject places more emphasis on applications of chemistry in today's world and provides solutions to many problems we are facing today. Nowadays, the world is focused on interdisciplinary studies, hence students should give importance to the subject for their future studies, career and to excel academically. The faculty members of our department are highly qualified, experienced and involved in research activities in core areas of the subject and engineering applications. Best utilization of faculty, infrastructure and a keen interest in studies gives a strong foundation to budding engineers.
