Chemistry is the study of substances, i.e. elements and compounds, and the scientific enquiry into the properties and behaviour of matter. It basically delves into the study of compounds that are made of atoms, molecules and ions; and their composition, structure and the changes they undergo during any reaction.
Chemistry has many branches such as biochemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry and physical chemistry. In everyday life the study of chemistry can be applied to and understood by phenomenon like discolouration of leaves, food digestions, tears while we cut onions, and the chemical formula in creams. Chemistry has helped revolutionise the areas of medicine, pharmaceuticals, beauty products, agriculture and environment.
The three-year Bachelor of Science Chemistry (Honours) programme offered by the Department of Applied Science & Humanities combines diverse subjects such as Properties of Matter, Numerical and Statistics Techniques in Chemistry, Organic and Inorganic Chemistry, Thermal Physics, Physical and Biochemistry, Chemistry lab work, and Applications of Computers in Chemistry lab work among others. The course has a compulsory and large element of lab-based work and research that helps students to get hands-on skills in this field.
The classroom instruction and lab work are complemented by workshops and group-based projects where students find real-life applications of Chemistry. They are also encouraged to read extra texts, case studies of companies that utilise chemistry principles, and some site visits to pharmaceutical and other companies are also incorporated in the syllabus.

Frequently Asked Questions
The programme covers organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and physical chemistry, along with Mathematics, Physics, and biochemistry in the early semesters. In later semesters, we introduce environmental chemistry and the application of computers in Chemistry to our students.
After this programme, you can be an excellent laboratory manager in the pharmaceutical industry, a research chemist in the chemical industry or a biomedical and analytical chemist. You can also become a materials technologist, an assistant chemical engineer or a chemistry teacher after pursuing B.Ed.
Yes, you may continue your master’s and doctoral research degrees with this programme. This career path may further lead you towards becoming a professor at a university or research scientist at any institution.
Chemistry graduates under this programme may look for jobs in the pharmaceutical sector and chemical industries. We employ graduates for the post of a biomedical chemist or assistant chemical engineer.
What should I consider while choosing a B.Sc. Chemistry college?
- The infrastructure of laboratories
- Expertise of faculty in various fields
- Practical training & research
Having labs, workshops and trips to pharmaceutical industries to gain industry-relevant exposure is a plus point.
