Overview

Welcome to the Department of Chemistry, NIT Agartala. At present, the Chemistry Department runs 1-year Chemistry course for B.Tech, 2-years MSc and PhD programme in Chemistry. Besides, the Department offers 5-year BS-MS dual degree course in Chemistry since 2013, where the students are taking admissions through JEE-Mains. The department has 13  faculty members who are actively engaged in research including natural product chemistry, organic synthesis, organometallic chemistry, coordination chemistry, green chemistry, bioinorganic, nanotechnology, theoretical & computational chemistry. Our faculty also serve as journal editors, reviewers and are involved in outreach initiatives in the community. Our goal is to present the content of chemistry set in a current and relevant context for engineers. 

The course curriculum and syllabus of all the courses were prepared and modified with research-based knowledge and methods including designing the chemical reactions, synthesis, analysis as well as interpretation of data to provide valid conclusions following the NBA pattern with the help of Professors from IITs, IISc, NITs and other reputed institutions of our country. Our undergraduate program offers an innovative curriculum that provides students with variety of career paths including chemical industry, academia, medicine, education, government, as well as other fields. Our graduate program provides opportunities to students in a wide array of chemical disciplines including analytical, biological, environmental, inorganic, organic, materials, physical, and theoretical chemistry. Graduate students have the freedom to personalize their courses and research projects.

The Department has got sponsored projects of around 2.5  crores from various funding agencies viz., AICTE, DST, CSIR, DAE-BRNS, Mumbai, CPRI Bangalore, etc. During the last five years, a large number of postgraduate students have qualified NET and GATE examinations. The Department has published around more than 100 research articles in reputed international journals along with many book chapters under the publishers such as ACS, RSC, Elsevier, Springer, Wiley, Taylor Francis, etc in the last five years. The Department has smart classrooms, conference room, well-equipped B.Tech laboratories, special laboratories for Physical, Inorganic and Organic chemistry courses, research laboratory, theoretical modelling laboratory as well as Instrumentation laboratory with high-end instruments for quality research works.
