The Department of Chemistry started functioning under Physical Sciences Group since 1986. Later on in 1993, it was separated from the Group and was established as a full-fledged Department of the Institute. From the beginning of its establishment, the Department has continuously encouraged teaching, research & development activities besides Ph.D programme in Chemistry. In that respect, the Department has also received funds through various sponsored projects taken up by the Faculty members. Since the academic session 2009-10, the Department has been offering M. Sc (Chemistry) course with Organic Chemistry specialization. Inorganic chemistry and Physical Chemistry specialization has been started from 2015-16 and 2025-26 sessions, respectively. Presently the total intake in M. Sc programme is 33 (Thirty three). The Chemistry department also started B. Sc. Chemistry as per NEP 2020 and the intake for B. Sc. course is 33 (Thirty three). Besides these, it undertakes teaching of various UG courses of chemistry at the Base, Diploma, Degree and M. Tech levels of Engineering & Technology streams. Moreover, it also undertakes chemistry courses for undergraduate students of B.Sc. (Forestry). The Department has highly qualified, experienced and dedicated faculty members.
The vision of the department is to become a centre of excellence in chemical science in terms of teaching, research, and developing fundamental technology. This includes:
