The
Department of Chemistry is one of the departments established at the
time of inception of the college in 1991. The department provides
academic degrees both at graduation and post graduation levels. Over the
years, the department has been nurtured with dedication and strenuous
hard work of the teachers and cooperative support staff. The department
offers everything an undergraduate student is looking forward to in a
college viz. Curricular, Co-curricular and extracurricular activities.
The
department has four laboratories including an instrumentation
laboratory. In addition to the students-laboratories the department also
has two project labs. Besides syllabi-driven practicals, students are
given hands-on practical training on modern equipments like
spectrophotometers, flame photometers, potentiometers, paper
electrophoresis, high speed centrifuge machines, and so on.
The
teachers interact closely with students and are always ready to guide
them. Students are given opportunities to try new experiments as a part
of their regular project work. They are also encouraged to undergo
summer training projects/workshops in the college and various scientific
institutes. Faculty members are actively engaged in pursuing various
research projects.
The oppurtunity
Students
after doing graduation in B.Sc. (Honours) in chemistry opt for either
M. Sc. in Chemistry or in various other subjects like Environmental
studies, forensic studies, green chemistry, and biotechnology. Students
pursue M.Sc. from other institutes besides Department of Chemistry,
University of Delhi. Students also get opportunities to enter reputed
pharmaceutical companies, or enter the field of chemical engineering.
Almost every year some of our students clear GRE and join foreign
Universities for their doctoral study. For more detail Click here
