Department Of B.Sc Chemistry

Introduction of the Program:

The study of science should be fascinating and enjoyable; the creation of a scientific temper in society is a must which could be achieved through proper education and guidance. To realize this goal, the curriculum should be updated by giving emphasis on various aspects such as the creativity of students, knowledge of emerging trends in the discipline, awareness of environmental impacts due to the development of science and technology, and the skills essential for handling equipments and instruments in laboratories and industries. Chemistry, being an experimental science, demands testing theories through practical laboratory experiences for a thorough understanding of the subject. The syllabus has been prepared in a participatory manner, after discussions with all stakeholders. Care has been taken to ensure that the syllabus is well-matched with the syllabi of other universities at the same level. Sufficient emphasis is given in the syllabus for training in laboratory skills and instrumentation. The units of the syllabus are well defined. A list of reference books as well as text books is provided at the end of each course.
