Where the fundamental nature of matter meets the most complex problems in life. A globally recognised, emerging department in basic sciences — committed to excellence in teaching, research, and laboratory education since the inception of the college.
Chemistry is the link that connects problems in the fundamental nature of matter to the most complex problems in the processes of life. The Department of Chemistry at SGGS College is one of the globally recognised, emerging and leading departments in Basic Sciences & Humanities, having begun with the inception of the college in 1966.
Since then, the department has imparted the highest level and quality of academic education to undergraduate and postgraduate students. A 15-member faculty with expertise across all the major areas of chemistry leads our academic mission — from organic synthesis to physical chemistry, from analytical methods to research-driven specialisations.
Our commitment to teaching is reflected in our dedication to building a community environment and providing every opportunity for our students to develop high professional competence — with a strong awareness of the importance of chemistry in the global scenario.
A curriculum designed to build strong fundamentals at the undergraduate level and to develop research-grade specialisation at the postgraduate stage.
An advanced postgraduate programme covering organic, inorganic, physical and analytical chemistry — with a strong emphasis on laboratory skills and research methodology.
An undergraduate programme with chemistry as a core subject alongside physics and mathematics — building a strong foundation for engineering, technology and applied science careers.
