M.Sc. Industrial chemistry is a two-year full time programme designed to cater to the diverse needs of various chemical industries.

The programme comprises of pure and applied level courses in all functional areas of chemistry and chemical engineering so as to identify and evaluate feasible strategies for solving technical problems. All the courses offered during the two years duration have three hours of classroom sessions per week for theory papers and six hours of laboratory sessions per week for practical subjects.

The department aims to attain a high level of performance and recognition in the postgraduate programme through both internal competence as well as external networking with industries and service organizations. The curriculum and the course work at M.Sc. Industrial chemistry programme have been carefully designed with the help of expert faculties and industrialists, to provide relevant knowledge, skills and attitudinal components in each subject.

Students are regularly given selected topics relevant to the subjects and are required to submit write up and deliver seminar on the given subjects.

A project report based on literature survey and laboratory work conducted on topics related to chemical engineering or pure and applied chemistry is also to be submitted and presented as a seminar by each student.
