Programme Outcome (POs):

Chemistry plays a pivotal role for understanding the natural world from any perspective and also imparts the understanding of substances, their inter conversions and the making of materials for the benefit of humans. Chemistry utilizes the natural substances and creates artificial ones. This applied science is being explored to understand the behavior of living organisms and to develop new drug molecules for alleviating the complex diseases in diversified manner.

The undergraduate B.Sc. (Honours and General) programme in Chemistry enables the students:

PO-1: To understand the fundamental chemical theories and their applications.

PO-2: To become familiar with the different branches of Chemistry like

Organic, Inorganic, Physical, Analytical, Environmental, Industrial,

Biochemistry etc.

PO-3: To acquire critical thinking skill, analytical skill, problem solving skill and

data analysis skill.

PO-4: To develop the ability to design, synthesize, separate and characterize

the compounds.

PO-5: To understand the cause of environmental pollution like air pollution,

water pollution, soil pollution etc in molecular level.

PO-6: To understand the role of Chemistry to combat differential environmental

pollution issues and how to develop sustainable world.

PO-7: To inculcate planning and exploration of scientific ideas and research

oriented skill among the students.

PO-8: To explore the knowledge how computer may be useful in solving

chemical problems.

PO-9: To make the students efficient enough to work in chemical industry and

scientific laboratories in time bound manner.

PO-10: To develop scientific temperament, motivation an desire for applying

knowledge of chemical science for the welfare of the society

Strengths of the Department:

1) Well qualified, experienced and dedicated faculty members. All of them are

having Ph.D. degree.

2) Direct mentoring of students by the faculty members is a regular practice of

the department to solve their academic and personal problems.

3) One class rooms with ICT facility and three big laboratories for students are

available.

4) One research laboratory, one instrument room are also available.

5) A departmental library with good no. of text and reference books are

available.

6) This department has a long tradition of nurturing the personal life skill of the

students.

7) Faculty members undergo Orientation and Refresher courses at regular

interval to keep themselves updated with the modern trend of Chemical

Science.

8) All the faculty members have very good research exposure.

9) Academic results of the students are very good. Almost each batch of the

students is credited with University toppers.

10) A large no. of students gets admitted in M.Sc. programme.

11) Department is successfully running Integrated Master Degree programme

(IMD) of MBB University.

Weaknesses of the Department:

1) Shortage of permanent faculty members

2) Insufficient no. of non-teaching staffs (Laboratory Assistant, Laboratory

attendant and Storekeeper)

3) Inadequate no. of Smart Class rooms

4) Number of volumes and journals in the departmental library need to be

included.

5) More effort is needed to get funding for research projects to strengthen the

research activity of the department

6) Communication skills of students need to be improved
