HoD's Message

Greetings to all!

Chemical Engineering, in essence, concerns the economic design and operation of chemical plants. The fundamentals of this discipline, drawn from physics, chemistry, mathematics and increasingly biology, are combined with engineering principles to understand and control molecular and macroscopic processes in diverse systems. Advancements in science and engineering help develop technologies that are more efficient, safer and environmentally friendly. The breadth and versatility of chemical engineering will continue to open many opportunities for future engineers.

The Department of Chemical Engineering was established in 1996 and currently offers a B.Tech. programme with an intake of 60 students. The department has qualified faculty, well-equipped laboratories, modern equipment and the Aspen ONE software for universities. The programme is approved by AICTE and has been accredited four times by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA), including five-year accreditation in 2012.

Our department is committed to providing quality education, promoting research, encouraging innovation and developing lifelong learning skills. We emphasize student-centred teaching, project work, industrial visits, internships, guest lectures and technical activities to prepare our students for a competitive professional environment.

The department works closely with the Training and Placement Cell to improve students' employability skills and career opportunities. Our alumni serve in reputed organizations, and our students actively participate in technical, co-curricular and extracurricular activities. We strive to nurture competent chemical engineers, innovative entrepreneurs and responsible professionals who contribute to industry and society.

On behalf of the department, I reaffirm our commitment to academic excellence, professional development and meeting the evolving needs of society.
