Welcome to Chemistry Department Page

The Department of Chemistry had a humble beginning in 1967 with  pre-degree classes affiliated to the University of Calicut. The Department had a systematic growth as evidenced from the fact that B.Sc Chemistry course was launched in 1971 with physics and mathematics as subsidiary subjects and M.Sc Chemistry was started in 2013. The department admits 24 candidates every year for B.Sc. and 12 for M.Sc. Bsc chemistry course is under the Choice Based Credit Semester System with 6 semesters including an open course paper in 5^th semester and a small project work. The four-semester M.Sc. Chemistry course is designed to provide a strong foundation in chemistry besides giving a sound exposure to advanced topics. The course consists of 12 compulsory theory papers, three elective theory paper, six practical papers, one viva and a project. The department provided an open course Chemistry in Daily Life for the students from other departments. Chemistry is a subsidiary paper for physics, botany and zoology BSc courses. The Department is actively involved in projects and has completed several projects funded by external agencies such as UGC and KSCSTE. The Department library has a collection of over 1500 books. The Department is proud of its prestigious alumni worked in various colleges, schools, banks and many other sectors.
