The Department of Chemistry was founded in the year 1991 by offering the undergraduate programme B.Sc. Chemistry. The department has built up its reputation as one among the best in the field of Chemistry by providing standard scientific education.B.Sc. Chemistry in Shift-II was introduced in the year 1995. The postgraduate programme M.Sc. Chemistry was introduced in the year 2002 and M.Phil. programme was introduced in the year 2009. It also offers Ph.D. programme in Chemistry from the year 2015. The Department strives hard to provide quality education in chemistry through updated syllabus, rigorous classroom teaching and laboratory experiments. It organizes seminars, conferences and workshops periodically.

The Department has dynamic staff members actively involved in teaching and research. The research areas include synthetic materials with biological applications,nano-materials, isolation of natural products from plants, crystal growth and computational chemistry field including molecular docking. The Department has three well equipped and separate laboratories for UG & PG and research. The Department has a department library shelved around 120 titles of chemistry.
