About the Department

M.Sc. Chemistry
deals with the study of matter’s composition, structure, and properties. It is concerned with the investigation of the transformations that different types of matter go through under various conditions. The course includes a comprehensive curriculum covering detailed aspects of Chemistry like Physical, Organic, Inorganic, Pharmaceutical and Analytical Chemistry concepts which is designed to provide students with a deeper understanding of chemical principles, analytical techniques, and laboratory practices to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and research skills.

Eligibilty:- Bachelor's Degree of a university established by law in India (with the subject of study for M.Sc. as one of the subjects) in 2nd division or with at least 45% marks and 40% in case of SC/ST candidates or honours in the subject concerned.

Scope: Once graduated with M.Sc. Chemistry degree, candidates can opt for various job profiles such as Research Scientist, Toxicologists, Materials Technologist, Clinical Research Associate, Biomedical Chemist, Analytical Chemists, Pharmacy Assistants, Lab Assistants, Lecturer, Food and Drug Inspector etc. Top recruiting sectors for M.Sc. Chemistry graduates are Hospitals, Laboratories, Cosmetic Industries, Agriculture and Pharmaceutical companies.

For practical examination, single award list will be prepared which includes marks of practical and internal assessment of practical (20%) for each practical course.

The abbreviations use in the above course types are as follows:

          Core papers = CP
          Discipline Specific Elective= DSE
          Generic Elective = GE
          Ability Enhancement Courses= AEC
          Skill Enhancement Courses=SEC

Students will opt DSE course as per their specialization i.e. Inorganic, Organic and Physical chemistry.
The examination time for each theory paper will be of three hours.
The examination time for practicals of first, second and third semester will be of 6 hrs in two sessions (i.e. both morning and evening).

The examination time for practical ‘s of fourth semester will be of 12 hrs in four sessions ( i.e. in two days both morning and evening)

For Internal Assessment (I.A.), the following criteria will be implemented with regards to the award of internal assessment:
1. Internal Assessment (I.A.) of 20 % Marks will be added to each paper.
2. These marks would , however be split as following: (a) 5 Marks for attendance in theory as well as in practical classes. The Weightage to attendance will be as follows: upto 75% with condonation from competent authority as per provision under ordinance-ZERO. Without condonation upto 75%- ONE MARK. 76-80%- TWO MARKS, 81-85% THREE MARKS, 86-90%- FOUR MARKS and above 91% FIVE MARKS.
3. The award of 15 Marks would be based on the performance of one class test of 15 Marks and this Test will consist of both subjective as well as objective type questions.
