Academic

The department offers Undergraduate and Postgraduate Programme in Chemistry. With the elevation of the Department as the Research Centre, it offers the facilities for doing research in Chemistry.

• B.Sc. CHEMISTRY

The B.Sc. Degree programme in Chemistry covers three academic years of six semesters and aims to provide the students with an in-depth understanding and training in chemical sciences. The syllabus has been designed to stimulate the interest of the students in chemistry and prepared in order to equip the students with a potential to contribute to the academic and industrial requirements of the society. The new, updated syllabus is in accordance with the OUTCOME BASED EDUCATION(OBE) which aims at acquiring advanced knowledge in Chemistry as a discipline, in an interdisciplinary way. Based on the new guidelines of OBE, Programme Outcome (PO) for the First degree Programme is defined by University of Kerala. Programme Specific Outcome relating to B.Sc. Chemistry (PSO) and Course Outcome (CO) relating to each course are also specified.

The First Degree programme in Chemistry comprises of fourteen core courses,  one  project course, two choice based courses ( an Open course in V^th semester and an Elective course in VI^th semester), one core specific foundation course (II^nd semester) in addition to  one area-specific foundation course, the complementary courses and language courses. The open course offered in the fifth semester is open to students from other Majors. A Computer Skill Development Programme is included as part of the Core Course- CH1221 (Foundation Course II in Semester II) for computational skill development with no End Semester Evaluation (ESE).
