SRM Institute of Science and Technology (formerly known as SRM University)’s Chemistry Department has been engaged in opening up the fascinating world of Chemistry to students since 1985. The Department offers B.Sc., B.S(4 Year), M.Sc. and Ph.D Programmes. The primary goal of the department is to advance the field of chemistry and to carry out use-inspired research in the emerging areas of energy, environment, sustainable chemistry and health.
Department of Chemistry has a group of vibrant, talented and passionate faculty members whose areas of expertise cover a broad spectrum of topics: Energy and Materials science, Synthetic chemistry, Chemical biology, Physical chemistry and Computation. The Department has well-equipped modern research laboratories with state-of-the-art facilities like High Performance Computing System, HR-MS, Powder X-ray diffractometer, Thermo Gravimetric Analyzer, Differential Scanning Calorimeter, BET surface area analyzer, Time-resolved photoluminescence setup etc.
The Department was supported by DST-FIST, Govt. of India with a total outlay of Rs. 146 lakhs during 2015-2020. Faculty members are awarded DST-SERB Fast Track / SRG / CRG / CSIR / UGC – Startup / Indo-Poland projects with a total outlay of Rs.30 crores. The Department has tie-ups with recognized institutions, industries and R&D laboratories for student projects, training and research activities. Faculty members of our department have been publishing research articles in various peer-reviewed journals of Nature Publishing, American Chemical Society, Royal Society of Chemistry, Elsevier, and Wiley etc.”

Since its inception in 1985, the Department of Chemistry at SRMIST has been actively involved in teaching and research activities by offering Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral degree programs in Chemistry. With the talented and enthusiastic faculty members from diverse disciplines across chemistry, our department is strongly committed to excellence in teaching and research, especially in the multidisciplinary area. Securing funding from several funding agencies, publishing high-quality papers and patents clearly portray our dedication. The vibrant learning environment created through courses and projects enables the students to leverage their knowledge, execute their skills, and shape themselves to excel in their higher studies / careers.
The research interests of faculty members not only encompass the core areas of chemistry including inorganic, organic, physical (including theoretical chemistry), and analytical chemistry but also many multidisciplinary areas such as energy, materials, catalysis, chemical biology, chemical physics, molecular biology, atmospheric and environmental chemistry, nanoscience and surface science
SRM Institute of Science and Technology attracts over 450+ recruiters, providing a wide range of opportunities to the students. At the Department of Chemistry, it is our endeavor to make sure all our students get placed in reputed companies. Prior to the placement interview, the students will be trained by the Career Development Center to attend the interviews confidently.
More than 50 companies sought to recruit B.Sc. and M.Sc. Chemistry students in the past 5 years. Pharmaceutical companies, R & D sectors, Healthcare units, Cosmetic companies, Paints, fertilizers and pesticide related companies, educational institutions and a few IT companies came for campus recruitment.
