Syllabus

The syllabus was framed essentially along the lines of Calcutta University Chemistry syllabus, with relevant detailed study wherever necessary. Computational Chemistry was introduced in Semester VI. As part of the Practical programme, an endeavour was made to incorporate Analytical and Biochemistry at the introductory level in the 3rd Year, so that students can get a feel of the Applicative aspects. Certain detailed practical exercises were incorporated, especially in Semester V. Certain open – ended practical experiments were also included on a trial basis, with the aim of development of analytical ability of the student. Use of hazardous polluting chemicals was avoided as far as practicable. Both Faculty and outgoing students feel that the syllabus, in spite of being quite heavy, would provide students with the initial background knowledge for entrance tests in the various Institutes like IIT’s, TIFR, IACS, IISER etc, as well as specialized higher education.

Research Work / Publications

Two minor Research Projects have been sanctioned by the Department of Science and Technology (DST).

Project Investigator : Dr. Sanjib Ganguly
Title/ Main thrust area: Synthesis and Magnetic Properties of Polynuclear Complexes of higher Transition Elements.

Project Investigator: Dr. Ankur Ray
Title / Main Thrust Area: Synthesis of Cyclic Peptides using RCM (Ring Closing Metathesis)

Apart from this, two of our Faculty members, Dr. Indranil Chakraborty and Mr. Rahul Sharma, are carrying out research at their parent Institutes (Jadavpur University and IACS Respectively).
