Department of Industrial Chemistry
Genesis

Department of Industrial Chemistry is one of the oldest Departments in the University. Established in 1985 with the aim to conceive and conduct Master Programmes in Industrial Chemistry, and Research programmes in Applied and Advanced Areas of Chemistry to train manpower for academic and research institutions and industries.

M.Sc. programme: This Department has been the unique in South-India to offer innovative programme such as Industrial Chemistry. M.Sc.Industrial Chemistry programme (with general Chemistry courses in the first year and Electrochemistry / Textile Chemistry courses in the second year) was offered initially. Students got placements in various industries. Few students have started their own industries and became Entrepreneurs.

Based on the industry feedback, M.Sc.Industrial Chemistry programme was later bifurcated as M.Sc.Industrial Chemistry (Electrochemistry) and M.Sc.Industrial Chemistry (Textile Chemistry) as two separate specialization programmes.

Based on the students feedback, and to address the nomenclature matter for students eligibility to teaching positions, M.Sc. Industrial Chemistry programmes were discontinued and M.Sc. Chemistry programme was introduced with effect from the year 2012-13.

M.Phil. Programme: M.Phil. Industrial Chemistry programme was offered since 1987. This programme was discontinued and M.Phil. Chemistry programme was introduced with effect from the year 2012-13. M.Phil. Chemistry programme has been suspended from the academic year 2021-22.

Ph.D. Programme: Ph.D. Industrial Chemistry programme was offered since 1987. This programme was renamed as Ph.D. Chemistry with effect from the year 2012-13.

The department has organized 8 International conferences, 20 National conferences, 8 workshops and 1 UGC Refresher Course
