The Department of Chemistry was established in 1955 during the inception of the institute. In 2023 the department has implemented NEP2020-Based (4+1) Yr. B.Sc. Chemistry (Honors/Honors with Research) and M.Sc. Chemistry (Research) programmes as per new education policy guidelines with multiple entry and exit options. The multiple entry-exit options will be available after completing each year course to obtain 1Yr-Certificate Chemistry, 2Yr-Diploma Chemistry, and 3Yr-B.Sc. Chemistry (Major). After completion of 4Yr. B.Sc. Chemistry (Honors with Research) students will be eligible for 1Yr. M.Sc. Chemistry (Research). Lateral entry at each level is allowed in MO sessions as per eligibility and qualifying test. This program is likely to improve technical skills of the students and subsequently create more employment opportunities than conventional degree courses.
Candidates applying for B.Sc. Chemistry (Honors/Honors with Research) must have passed Class 12/ I.Sc. or Equivalent Qualifying Examination with English, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics/Biology as major subject with a minimum 60% marks (50% for SC/ST/PwD). The admission process will be a national-level online BITCHEM test followed by an interview in hybrid mode. JEE/NEET(UG)/CUCET qualified candidates will be exempted from the online BITCHEM test. The final merit list will be based on academic (10th and 12th) scores and interview marks. Lateral entry at each level will be done based on a separate online test as per eligibility and seat availability.
