Department of Chemistry

The Department of Chemistry, established in 1976, has been a cornerstone of academic excellence at our institution. Offering both undergraduate and postgraduate programs in Chemistry, including the commencement of the M.Sc. Chemistry course in 1982, the department boasts a remarkable 46-year history of producing rank holders, achieving high percentiles, and nurturing countless firstclass and distinction students, underpinned by the expertise and dedication of its faculty. Its commitment to postgraduate development is exemplified by faculty publications in international journals and successful acquisition of UGC minor and major research projects, while serving as an affiliated research center of the University of Calicut has led to the completion of six PhD degrees, with ongoing research endeavours. The department's partnership with the Kerala Water Authority has given rise to a water analysis lab, supplementing practical applications of knowledge, and its well-equipped analysis wing supports research and student projects across various departments and colleges. Notably, DST-FIST funding in 2016, amounting to 72 lakhs over five years, has fortified the department's research infrastructure. Additionally, the department actively conducts seminars, symposia, and workshops, extending knowledge-sharing opportunities to students from our college as well as various institutes and colleges, with all faculty members holding PhD degrees and providing guidance for M.Sc. projects for students from other colleges. Financial support from KSCSTE in the SERD program further enhances the department's contributions to the field of Chemistry and research.
