Welcome to Department of Chemistry

About

The Department of chemistry has its existence right from the inception of the college. It started with Undergraduate course in the year 1993 and was upgraded to postgraduate course in the year 2005.The department of chemistry is driven by considerations of quality with excellent infrastructural facilities and qualified faculty members, and is ever ready to design innovative instructional methodology. The students are equipped with experimental techniques individually to gain quality training with creativity and problem solving skills.

Department constituted ‘St. Pious Undergraduate Environment research’ (SPUGER) group and initiated multidisciplinary student education and research program for the members of the SPUGER group which is first of its kind. SPUGER group is actively involved in research on Environmental Studies and promoting awareness among the people. Significant feature of the Department is its creative Research, Innovation and generation of Human resources for long term sustainability of the Eco system .
