The Department of Chemistry inducted in the year 1967 with inception of B.Sc.Degree programme has grown to become a PG department with M.Sc., M.Phil. and Ph.D. programmes with quality chemistry education. The graduates are mentored to gain core knowledge and imbibe values and prerequisite skills needed to build their career and contribute to the community. Core knowledge in organic, inorganic, physical chemistry and applied chemistry areas is imparted to the graduate students. The undergraduate students take up ability enhancement and skill enhancement courses additionally. This enhances their employability prospects. The postgraduate students gain additional credits from the interdisciplinary, multi disciplinary and professional certification courses. These courses provide them multi domain knowledge and skill to enhance their research and collaborative spirit.
The Department of Chemistry also plays a prime role in providing foundation in Chemistry to students at Undergraduate level from the Department of Biochemistry/Biotechnology/Bio informatics, Department of Zoology, Department of Botany, Department of Physics, Department of Textiles and Clothing, Department of Food Science Nutrition and Department of Food Service Management and Dietetics.
A team of well qualified faculty contributes dedicated efforts in mentoring the graduate and post graduate students of Chemistry. Faculty members sustain research in their areas of specialization and hold Life Membership in scientific bodies such as Indian Science Congress Association, Indian Council of Chemists, All India Scientific Tamil Congress, Society for Advancement of Electrochemical Science & Technology (SAEST), National Corrosion Council of India (NCCI), All India Committee for the Eradication of Illiteracy among Women, Indian Society for Technical Education, Society for Sciences and Indian Society of Chemists and Biologists.
The department also encourages community engagement and entrepreneurial activities. Corporate connect, lab to field studies and social service activities are part of routine in the department
