The Department of Chemistry was established in 1984 as a new Science Department with the 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 a prominent position in the academic map of India. The Department offers both UG and PG-level advanced courses in Chemical Sciences. PG started in 2011 with 30 seats under Janbhagidari, and in October 2022 it was acquired by Government. The students are monitored and evaluated by regular class tests, seminars, assignments, and mid and end-semester examinations.
