It is with great pleasure to function as the Head of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Sciences. The Department of Chemistry is dedicated to excellence in education, research, and community engagement. As one of the central sciences, chemistry plays a pivotal role in advancing our understanding of the natural world and in driving innovations that benefit society. Our department is home to a vibrant community of scholars, researchers, and students who are passionate about exploring the molecular foundations of matter and its transformations.

We offer a five-year Integrated B.Sc.(Hons.)-M.Sc. Chemistry program and Ph.D. programme in Chemistry. Our curriculum is designed to provide a strong foundation in the core areas of chemistry, including organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, and computational chemistry, while also offering opportunities for interdisciplinary study and research. Our faculty members are internationally recognized for their research in various fields of chemistry. From the development of new materials and sustainable energy solutions to the study of complex chemical systems and the design of innovative chemical processes, our research efforts are at the forefront of scientific discovery. We encourage our students to actively participate in research, gaining hands-on experience and contributing to projects that have the potential to make a real-world impact. The Department of Chemistry is a collaborative and inclusive community where students, faculty, and staff work together to achieve common goals. We value diversity and strive to create an environment where everyone feels welcomed and supported. Through partnerships with industry, government agencies, and other academic institutions, we extend our reach beyond the classroom and laboratory, making meaningful contributions to the broader community.
