The
Department of Applied Chemistry under the Faculty of Engineering & Technology, was established in 1995 with the
start of B. Tech. courses to cater the demand
of B. Tech. students pertaining to core chemistry courses in I Year. Initially the department was
established as a part of Basic Sciences for the B. Tech. program as in every
Engineering Institution. However later taking into consideration the dearth of
quality PG programs in the specialized areas of
chemistry in the whole
Rohilkhand region it was thought to upgrade the status of the department by
initiating new PG program in the department specially so when their was no
separate department in the campus. Based on these logical grounds the department
started a PG course namely M.Sc. in Applied
Chemistry with specialization in
Organic /Medicinal chemistry in the
session 2004-05 after the approval of UGC and state Government. Since then the
department has been functioning
independently. At present the department shares workplace at Nehru Kendra,
however is going to be shifted in its new building very soon. The department has
well equipped laboratories and lecture halls both from the point of view of
teaching & research.
