About Department of Chemistry

The Department of Chemistry was established in 1989 with one faculty member and 60 students. Today, the department has grown to over 250 students and four active faculty members. It houses well-equipped laboratories for Physical and Qualitative Chemistry, a storeroom, a staff room, and a departmental library with more than 300 books, journals, and theses for UG, PG, and research students.

The department holds a Ph.D. Research Centre recognised by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University (BAMU), Aurangabad, since June 2014. Six faculty members hold Ph.D. degrees, two are SET qualified, and one is NET qualified. Four teachers are recognised Ph.D. guides for PG teaching at BAMU.

Faculty have published more than 300 research papers in national and international journals. Nine minor and one major UGC-funded research projects have been completed; one major DST-funded project (Fast Track Young Scientist Scheme) is ongoing. The department has organised two UGC-funded National Conferences and two regional workshops, and has MoUs with institutions including Ferguson College Pune, Milind College of Science Aurangabad, and research organisations ACTRA and Microlab Surat.

Students engage in group discussions, seminars, science quizzes, and guest lectures. They also publish a departmental wall magazine called “Chemia.”
