Introduction
The Department of Chemistry has been established in May 2020. The Department offers M.Sc. programme where students enroll through CUCET entrance examination. The Department functions from Nunar Campus, Ganderbal. We provide intensive monitoring to our students both in and beyond the classroom in a wide variety of forms, ongoing lectures, project screenings, webinars on interdisciplinary themes make up our calendar. New laboratories and lecture rooms were constructed and department expanded rapidly in both teaching and research and large number of small independent groups are expected to flourish. Various faculty members made significant contributions in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry apart from the use of instrumental techniques through analytical chemistry. The department has made great strides by thoroughly updating the M.Sc. syllabus and has started a new project work in M.Sc. programme where students have exposure to writing project and research articles. Advances level DSE courses are taught semester wise. Collaborative research programmes with any research institutions are also operating. The department has distinguished itself in a wide range of areas in Chemistry and chemistry interfacing Physical & Biological Sciences. The Department is presently equipped with primary instruments including Double beam UV-Vis spectrophotometer, FT-IR, Viscometer (Visco-QC-300-H), Digital Potentiometer, Digital pH meter, Rotary Evaporator and other basic equipments.
