ABOUT THE COURSEThe U.G. program in Chemistry was established during the academic year 2013-2014. Chemistry is necessarily an experimental science: its conclusions are drawn from data, and its principles supported by evidence from facts- Michael Faraday.Chemistry is a branch of physical science that studies the composition, structure, properties and change of matter. The department is offering Mathematics and Physics as ancillary subjects to the students.The duration of the course is three years which includes six semesters.
ELIGIBILITYHSC passed with Chemistry / Physics / Mathematics / Biology /are eligible for admission. DURATION OF THE COURSE
DURATION OF THE COURSE
The duration of the course is three years which includes six semesters with two semesters per year. Each semester has ninety working days followed by examinations at the end of each semester. The odd semesters shall consist of the period from June to November of each year and the even semester from December to April of each year.
CAREER PROGRESSIONThe course in chemistry is useful for students in various aspects and offers them with bright career. There are a wide variety of Chemistry careers to choose from teaching to research and development. the field of chemistry is wide and diverse. Chemistry graduates are employed in industrial sector, government departments, health sector, research institutes, laboratories and academia. The options available for chemistry graduates are Chemist, Research Scientist, Analytical Chemist, Technical Officer, Product Development Chemist, Process Development Scientist, Quality Control Scientist, Materials Analytical Chemist, Patent Agent, Laboratory Technician, Teacher, Technical Writer, Forensic Technician/chemist, Pharmaceutical Development and/or Sales, Product Testing and Analysis. Chemists get jobs in pharmaceutical companies, petroleum companies, chemical industries, perfume industries, research organizations like ISRO, DRDO, Bhabha Atomic research center etc. The course helps students in improving their diverse skills in various areas such as laboratory skills, numerical and computing skills, ability to approach the problems both analytically and logically and time management skills.
