Programs

In line with the new education policy, the Department of Chemical Engineering is committed to educational excellence through a strong student-focused educational experience and to provide quality education with a contemporary and highly professional curriculum. The societal challenges of the twenty-first century are profound and wide-ranging. Basic needs such as water, energy, environment, food, and health will become even more acute as the world population exceeds 9 billion. The need for sustainable development will require redefined and innovative engineering talent and leadership.  The flexibility of opting for different specialization, such as Process Engineering Intelligence, Molecular Engineering, Sustainability, Industry 4.0 and Data Analytics, Reactive Chemical Processing, Petroleum and Petrochemicals; is ingrained in formulating the structure and curriculum of the program. The Department of Chemical Engineering offers the following undergraduate and post-graduate programs in chemical engineering, viz:
