The Department of chemistry has started its promising journey in 2017. This department began its supreme journey with two-year post-graduate courses in Physical, Inorganic and Organic Chemistry, leading to the award of M.Sc. degree in Chemistry. Later on, Ph.D. in Chemistry has been introduced in the 2019. The academic programmes are so designed as to enable the students to acquire a good understanding of classical Chemistry as well as its latest developments. A good number of students qualify the GATE examinations along with good placement in government and non-government sector every year. Besides the quality teaching, the faculty members are trying to contribute a lot to elevate the prestige of the university through their research activities. Our faculty members Dr. Ram Chandra Maji has received a Start-up research grant of around 27 lakhs from DST-SERB and Dr. Jaya Pal has received a Start-up research grant of around 33 lakhs from DST-SERB. Other faculty members have also submitted proposals for research grants to the various funding authorities like DST (Govt. of West Bengal & Govt. of India) and UGC (for UGC Start up grant). The department is striving hard to create a niche for itself in national domain of teaching and research for the betterment of the students.
