Purpose of the Program

The Importance of chemistry arises because so many other disciplines draw on certain chemical principles and concepts. The purpose of the undergraduate chemistry program at the university and college level is to prepare our students for all those fields where basic knowledge of chemistry is required including academia for careers as professionals in various industries and research institutions.

Program Outcomes

PO 1. Students will have a firm foundation in the fundamentals and applications of chemical and scientific theories including those in analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry.

PO 2. Students will be able to design and carry out scientific experiments as well as accurately record and analyze the data of such experiments.

PO 3. Students will develop skill in problem solving, critical thinking and analytical reasoning as applied to scientific problems.

PO 4. Students will be able to explore new areas of research in both chemistry and allied fields of science and technology.

PO 5. Students will appreciate the central role of chemistry in our society and use this as a basis for ethical behavior in issues facing chemists including an understanding of safe handling of chemicals, environmental issues and key issues facing our society in energy, health and medicine.

PO 6. Students will be able to explain why chemistry is an integral activity for addressing social, economic, and environmental problems.

PO 7. Students will be able to function as a member of an interdisciplinary problem-solving team.

PROGRAM SPECIFIC OUTCOMES (PSOS)

Certificate in Introductory Chemistry will give the student a basic knowledge of all the fundamental principles of chemistry like atomic structure, molecular polarity, bonding theories of different molecules, resonance concept, hyperconjugation, field effects, periodic properties of more than 111 elements, mechanism of organic reactions, stereochemistry, detailed study of states of matter including kinetic theories of gases, solid and liquid states, chemistry of aliphatic and aromatic compounds, chemical kinetics, its scope and first law of thermodynamics. Student will be able to understand the qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis of the compounds in the laboratory. This certificate course is definitely going to prepare the students for various fields of chemistry and will give an insight into all the branches of chemistry. It will enable students to join the diploma course (semester III and IV) in any University or College of Higher education in Uttarakhand

PROGRAM SPECIFIC OUTCOMES (PSOS)

Diploma in Chemical Science will provide the theoretical as well as practical knowledge of handling chemicals, apparatus, equipment and instruments. The knowledge about second law of thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium, phase equilibrium, electrochemistry, coordination chemistry, acid-base theories, chemistry of transition elements, halides, alcohols, phenols, aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids will enable the students to work as chemists in various industries. The experimental work during the diploma course will enhance the skill of the students regarding chemical and physical tests of inorganic as well as organic compounds along with some physical experiments which will be beneficial to achieve their goals in industrial sectors. It will enable students to join the Bachelor of Science course (semester V and VI) in any University or College of Higher education in Uttarakhand

PROGRAM SPECIFIC OUTCOMES (PSOS)

Degree in Bachelor of Science programme aims to introduce very important aspects of modern-day course curriculum, namely, chemistry of nitrogen containing compounds, organometallic, lipids, fats, dyes, paints, reagents in organic synthesis, carbohydrates, proteins, biomolecules, data analysis, nano-chemistry, green chemistry, stability of coordination compounds, cement, paint, ceramics, glass, inorganic fertilizers, radioactivity, corrosion, magnetic behaviour of transition metal complexes, surface chemistry, quantum mechanics, solutions, third law of thermodynamics, photochemistry, and spectroscopic techniques. This knowledge will make the students skilled to work in various chemical industries like cement industries, agro product, paint industries, rubber industries, petrochemical industries, food processing industries, fertilizer industries, pollution monitoring and control agencies etc. It will also enable the students to understand the importance of the biomolecules in biological science and related fields.

Upon completion of a degree, chemistry students will able to employ critical thinking and scientific inquiry in the performance, design, interpretation and documentation of laboratory experiments. It will help a candidate to succeed at an entry-level position in chemical industry or a chemistry postgraduate program.
