B.Sc. Hons. Chemistry

Program Description

B.Sc. (H) Chemistry program is a three-year undergraduate program. The program can be pursued on completion of 10+2 standard. The program will require a minimum of 138 credits during the span of three years. The program will comprise of compulsory courses, program-specific courses, and elective courses covering the subject areas Science, engineering, Humanities or management of 86%, 4%, and 10% respectively.

The B.Sc. syllabus emphasizes learning of chemical principles in theory as well as their experimental aspects. After an introductory course in chemical structure and properties, students will take foundational level courses that will show how chemical structure can be used to explain physical, organic, inorganic, and biochemical reactions and how these chemicals and their reactions can be quantitated and modeled mathematically. The students will conduct a series of experiments in the laboratories equipped with modern instrumentation and computers, where they will learn important techniques and skills in synthesis, analysis, separation and modeling of chemical reactions. The students undertake various research projects under the mentorship of faculty members in the institute or external mentors for their bachelor’s level dissertation.
