M.Sc. Chemistry


Course Details

The proposed course aims to provide students with a broad theoretical background in Inorganic, Organic & Physical Chemistry, with emphasis on Analytical Techniques. Particular attention is given to Industrial applications of chemistry so that students are completely equipped to move into careers in academic, industrial and commercial organizations. The course curriculum is interdisciplinary in nature involving applied chemistry, applied physics, mathematics and biological sciences. Our institute has a good number of experts in these areas along with basic instrumentation facilities. The content of the course provides an understanding of different aspect of chemistry. The lecture based course will cover the various aspects of pure & applied chemistry. In lab experiments the emphasis is laid on green chemistry and industrial chemistry elaborating the need for waste minimization, substitution of non toxic chemicals for toxic ones and increasing the use of semi-micro, micro and computational techniques. Laboratory courses have been designed to provide an exhaustive and hands on experience on working with various sophisticated instruments. Final semester is dedicated to thesis/dissertation work giving students experience in solving a real-life problem under the supervision of faculty members involved in pursuing research and development projects, usually related to industrial problems.

Employment Potential

To provide properly qualified man power for academic institutions, R&D and quality control laboratories of chemical/pharmaceutical industries & forensic labs. This will also fulfill the needs of the students regarding the limited exposure to modern instrumental techniques in various graduate and postgraduate courses, thus enabling them for employment in chemical, pharmaceutical industries, R & D laboratories, academic institution, forensic labs etc. More over this course can be helpful to the students to be self employed as it not only allows for an in-depth subject specific knowledge and opportunities to specialize in a number of areas at the leading-edge of the subject but also encourages students to develop problem solving and reflective working practices. 

Candidates of B.Sc. Honours must have minimum 55% marks in average (50% for SC/ST) in their Honours subject. Candidates of other graduate courses must have minimum 55% marks in average (50% for SC/ST) in graduation.
