Chemistry

The Department of Chemistry was established in 1986 with an objective of providing quality education in the conventional areas of Science and growing into a center for teaching and research with an aim to acquire prominent position. The Department of Chemistry offers UG Program in Chemistry and PG Programs in Organic Chemistry. The department has a recognized Research Centre of Savitribai Phule Pune University and offers Ph.D. Program in Chemistry. Cutting-edge research is the distinguishing feature of the department. The department has qualified and research-oriented faculty with publications in UGC-CARE-listed, SCOPUS and Web of Science journals. The faculty have published books, and chapters in the book and published the patents as well. The faculty of the department are worked as reviewers of reputed Journals. The department strives for the holistic development of the students with all innovative teaching-learning methods like experiential learning, hands-on training and field visits. Chemistry Software and Advanced ICT tools like LCD Projector and interactive Whiteboards are used for effective learning. The department is well aware of its social obligations and conducts outreach activities through the demonstration of experiments and practical for the students of higher secondary school. The department runs a short-term Certificate course in Soil and Water Analysis.
