About the Department

  • The Department of Chemistry in the college was established in 1979 with Prep and pre-engineering/medical classes. The undergraduate classes started in 1986.
  • UGC, New Delhi, granted us with an innovative course in M.Sc. Applied Chemistry (Pharmaceutical). It was successfully implemented in the year 2008.
  • The Department of Chemistry was awarded a RESEARCH CENTRE, by Panjab University in 2014 for conducting Ph.D. programme in Chemistry.
  • Extensive use of the learning exchange (LX) module has been undertaken by the faculty for teaching purposes.
  • From the current session the NEP 2020 curriculum has been initiated.
