The Department of Chemistry has three well-equipped laboratories. One of the laboratories is fully air-conditioned with many sophisticated instruments for the benefit of students. One of the classrooms (Chemistry Gallery) is an ICT classroom with all the modern amenities to give our students exposure to power point presentation of some topics along with the normal chalk-board conventional method of teaching. Out of five government sanctioned posts presently four of them are filled. There are total five faculty members in the department of chemistry and they give maximum time in departmental work. All the teachers have sound research career with four of them having Ph.D. degree and in addition two of our teachers have post-doctoral research experience. The faculties are also engaged actively in research helps in promoting research interest in our students’ right from the beginning of their academic career. The department also has one skilled lab-attendant and two other support staffs for smooth running of the practical classes. The department has a departmental library of its own with a good collection of books which are borrowed by the students on a regular basis. The department has dedicated computer for the use of students with high speed wi-fi connection. Since we are affiliated under the aegis of University of Calcutta we follow their curriculum. The department came into existence from the very beginning of our college in 1961 with only General course but from 2015, the University of Calcutta gave affiliation for running the Honours course in the UG level in Chemistry. Presently we are running the three-year CBCS pattern and also the newly introduced four-year NEP pattern successfully.
