M.Sc. in Chemistry

The Masters Programme in Chemistry covers all aspects of the different branches of chemistry and lays emphasis on detailed understanding of the fundamental principles and on training in appropriate computational and experimental methods. This rigorous training in all the major branches of chemistry – theoretical, applied, instrumental, computational and experimental – sets the stage for electives in interdisciplinary areas as well as for an introduction to advanced emerging fields of research in the last two semesters. A project work is designed to cater to the research potential of the students wherein they are exposed to gain experience in handling sophisticated equipment (UV-Vis, Fluorescence, IC, HPLC, FTIR, GC-MS/LC-MS QQQ and QToF, MP AES, SEM, TEM) and advanced concepts in Chemistry. Seminars, colloquia and lab meetings require students to make presentations on their progress to the faculty members and research scholars of the department thereby honing their communication skills and building confidence.
