Preamble and objectives of the Course :
Chemistry is central to the current revolutions in Science. No educated person today can understand the modern world without a basic knowledge of Chemistry. The existence of a large number of chemical factories ,mines and related industries in the catchments of the University necessiates Chemistry education.
The major objectives of B.Sc. Chemistry course are:
- To impart knowledge in fundamental aspects of all branches of Chemistry.
- To acquire basic knowledge in the specialized areas like Polymer Chemistry, Environmental Chemistry, Dye Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Chemistry etc.
- To create manpower in Chemical industries and help their growth.
- To prepare candidates for a career in Chemical industries.
