Department of Chemistry is dedicated to excellence in teaching and research.We prepare students for meeting technological challenges faced by the ever changing world. The department has seven experienced and highly qualified faculty members. Faculty members are enthusiastically engaged in cutting-edge research in emerging areas like composite polymer electrolytes for electrochemical batteries, bio-diesel purification, solar stills, synthetic organic chemistry, nanotechnology, colloidal chemistry, corrosion chemistry, analytical chemistry, water purification, and bio-catalysis. Faculty members have contributed more than 166 publications in reputed national/international journals/conferences, 2 books/chapters and 2 patents. Two more patent applications have been filed in 2016. 8 Ph.D students are enrolled in the department in different areas of research. One Ph.D. has been awarded and three Ph.D. thesis has been submitted. Two AICTE sponsored research projects worth Rs 14 Lakhs on “Bio-diesel Purification” and “Development of Composite Polymer Electrolyte films” have been successfully completed by the department. Departmental laboratory is well equipped with modern equipments.
Chemistry department supports B.Tech programmes of MRIIRS and offers Ph. D. programme in chemistry. We aspire to produce highly sought after B.Tech graduates for pursuing careers with academia & industry. The doctoral students are mentored in diverse areas of chemical sciences. The aim of the Ph.D programme is to provide quality education and the state-of the art skills to students through effective learning and research. Every year, the department organizes conferences, expert talks, workshops and competitions on varied topics of academic relevance.
