and practice of Chemical Engineering keeping in views the current and future
requirements of the country. At the postgraduate level, students are trained
to assume independent responsibilities laying emphasis again on the country?s
current and future requirements in industry, R&D organizations, design
firms and academic institutions. Opportunities are provided to the students
at all levels to get acquainted with the latest developments in the various
areas of Chemical Engineering. The Department maintains close association
with a large number of chemical industries and design organization, and continuously
upgrades the course curriculum. Industry-oriented developmental projects are
undertaken regularly. Students are encouraged to identify industrial problems
and participate actively in sponsored programs from outside. In-plant training
in industrial organizations is a part of the regular undergraduate curriculum.
The Department also undertakes consultancy assignments from industry, in the
areas of Process Development, Design, Pollution control, Particle Technology,
Biomass Utilization, etc. The Department is well equipped for carrying out
basic and applied research leading to the degrees of M.Tech/M.S. (Research)
and Ph.D. In addition to the infrastructural facilities, pilot plant sized
equipment as well as advanced instruments are available. These serve the multiple
purposes of training the undergraduate students as well as carrying out research
work for final application to solve industrial problems.
