The Department of Chemical Engineering was commenced in the year 1988 with 30 undergraduate students in the B. Tech. Chemical Engineering programme and has been doing its best to bring about excellence in academics achieved in the last 25 years. The PG Programmes of MTech. in Chemical Engineering and Ph.D. was started in year 2006 and 2004 respectively. The current sanctioned strength of the B.Tech. Chemical Engineering Program and M.Tech Chemical Engineering Program is 100 and 25 respectively for Full time Courses. The department is well equipped with good undergraduate laboratories and research laboratories that have been strengthened and modernized under TEQIP (World Bank) grants and Institute grants funded from MHRD. The Department aims to provide students with a balance of intellectual and practical expertise that enables them to serve the worldwide chemical industry as well as the societal needs. The programmes offered by the department are accredited by NBA and has educational objectives that are consistent with the vision and mission of the Department. The curriculum has been designed to meet the programme goals and objectives that lay more stress on learning under the guidance of a vibrant and highly qualified faculty.
