Chemistry is the science of change. By studying the basic properties of substances and the many transformations they undergo, the chemist finds solutions to scientific challenges and contributes to the development of new technologies. Discoveries in of new life saving drugs, solutions to environmental problems, new products to benefit consumers--all result from the work of chemists. Chemistry plays an integral role in today's scientific endeavours. As science has become increasingly interdisciplinary, fundamental scientific problems still focus on the chemical nature of matter.

Department of Chemistry provides an environment where the students at undergraduate and post graduate levels of studies can explore, discover, and learn about the chemical nature of the universe. The Department of Chemistry maintains pedagogical and research strengths in the field of organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, and Nano-chemistry. The department has research based intermediate and undergraduate programmes with more than 300 students. The programmes balance theory with application and give students the chance to begin independent research using the laboratories in the Chemistry department. The department offers outstanding opportunities for the students to explore the exciting world of chemistry and develop communication and problem-solving skills needed for success in their careers and personal growth. The students are encouraged to enrich their educational experiences beyond the classroom by engaging in research projects with faculty.

With all the programmes running in the department simultaneously, the department has always considered its faculty as most important towards imparting quality education. There has been always a strong faculty also in terms of numbers and to cover divergent areas like organic chemistry, electrochemistry, polymer chemistry, coordination chemistry, environmental chemistry, computational chemistry, medicinal chemistry, solution chemistry, organometallics, organic synthesis, chemistry of natural products and spectroscopy etc. The members of the Department of Chemistry faculty are instilled with a strong desire to seek and investigate unknown areas of research. They focuses on chemical synthesis, nano-particles, polymer nano-composites, natural products chemistry, chemical biology, biochemistry and medicinal chemistry, the fields of research most relevant to biomedical research and the drug discovery and development process.
