Opportunities Students gets opportunities to immerse in research through their project work Our post graduates have gone on to other institutes as part of their project work, gets a wide opportunity to familiarize the current trends and development in the areas By Our output based teaching students are highly prepared for professional and graduate programs with a foundation in the fundamental principles that professional schools desire. Our graduates have gone on to further studies at various places ……unique training in research using both theoretical and experimental methods ..Our chemistry post-graduates have been successful in obtaining science-related jobs Consultancy services in related areas |
Challenges · Inadequate lab space ·Lack of availability of most modern laboratory equipment which is necessary for post-graduate experiments ·Absence of safety regulations especially regarding handling and disposal of chemical wastes… · Heavy work load for faculties is a limiting factor to develop their research capabilities ·Lack of regular and competent training programme to faculties |
Future Plans
- Upgradation of the department as Research Centre
- Undertaking Major Research Projects
- Consultancy services in related areas
- arranging a well equipped latex analyzing unit and to develop more utility polymers
- Organising seminars and workshops in new areas of Polymer Chemistry
- Conversion of all classrooms into smart classrooms with all ICT facilities
- Full automation of library along with INFLIBNET facility
- Equipping the library with books, journals and modern information resources
- Modernisation of Laboratory from wet to dry concept using computational softwares
