Best Paper Award

Mrs. R. Umamaheswari received the Best Paper award for her Oral presentation in the International Conference on Green Chemistry for a Greener planet.

The department is offering Chemistry as both major and Allied subjects at UG level since 1957 and grew into a post graduate department in 1989.

The department was upgraded to a research department in 2005 offering M.Phil programme and is now a fully-fledged research department offering Ph.D programme in Chemistry from 2012.

The UG and PG curricula offered by the department lays emphasis on key areas like Spectroscopy, Analytical Chemistry, Nano Chemistry, Electrochemistry, Thermodynamics, Kinetics, Photochemistry, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Solid state Chemistry, Polymer Chemistry, Computational Chemistry, Bioorganic and Bio-Inorganic Chemistry.

The department has excellent infrastructure with well-equipped laboratories which meet the demands of modern technology.

The department has dedicated faculty members who have the expertise in teaching the various branches of Chemistry and carry out novel research activities matching with the current trend. The research activity includes the undertaking of Govt. funded research projects with a lot of publications in Scopus indexed journals and presentations in national and international conferences.

The department organizes symposiums/workshops/conferences/Webinars in the state and National level annually for the benefit of staff and students.

The students of the department exhibit their excellence in academics by clearing national eligibility tests, etc and also extra-curricular activities.

The department of Chemistry signed a MoU with an NGO GO4GURU which is an educational services based organization in the year 2020 facilitating student exchange program with foreign countries.

The department has also been beneficial in establishing instrumentation centre through the FIST-DST, GOI
