Since the inception of the college, the Chemistry Department has been always proving to be one of the strong organs of the college and it is striving hard to uplift the prestige of the college. It was started with four Doctorates 42 years back and at no time, the number of Doctorates in the department has come below this level. Presently, NINE Doctorates are working.
The department has the distinction of “Publishing Research Papers” from the college and thereby enshrining the college name in the eternal and everlasting words of Journals.So far, the Research publications of the teachers who worked/working in our department is above 250 and the expertise behind these Research publications is manifested in the development of this department.
Besides enriching the students with the applied aspects of Chemistry (such as Engineering Chemistry, Environmental Chemistry and Analytical Instrumentation for Electronics and Instrumentation students etc.), the department is providing sound fundamental applied basis for Chemical Engineering students.
Some of the students showed remarkable performance in National level tests viz., GATE. Further our Chemistry Department has been recognized for conducting research works viz, M.Phil, and Ph.D by Acharaya Nagarjuna University and also some of our department staff members are guiding Research students. Under “External Registration Stream” of JNTU, Hyderabad and some of our junior staff members are working in part-time for their Ph.D in our well-furnished chemical labs.
The department has four well-furnished and equipped labs having total plinth areas: 719 Sq. m. We have a separate room for modern instruments, which are being used for conducting different types of analysis. At present the department has 12 teaching staff members.
The Department is undertaking consultancy work assessing the physico-chemical parameters of various samples of different origin. In fact we are the consultants for prawn cultivation, which is widely being spread, around our locality i.e. from Nizampatnam to Nellore.
To provide broad curriculum with strong foundation in fundamentals of Chemistry through courses offered by the Department for Engineering Students in the Institute with the aim of producing engineers with high professional competence with awareness on the importance of chemistry in the technological world and to carry out research and to make students to become good Engineers./p>
To promote, inspire and nurture the fundamentals of chemistry through UG course offered for the engineering students
To develop research facilities, equipment and laboratories that would enable modern approach and solutions to all problems in chemistry and chemical industry, collaborative projects with other engineering departments.
To offer research projects with high emphasis on concept-theory-practical training to build up research interest for the transformation of budding chemists into productive scientists, excellent teachers, entrepreneurs and innovative independent researchers.
Our specific goal is to become a nationally recognizedcenter of chemical sciences for modern education with a state of art centralized research facility.
