Department of Applied Chemistry started in 1952 and went through various changes and the current Applied Chemistry Dept came to existence in 1985 to impart education and training to the DRDO workforce in high energy materials and propellants. Over the years, the Department has moved on to cater to DRDO and civilian students’ needs to bring the DRDO achievements closer to our society. The Department aims to contribute to our understanding of the chemical world through excellence in observational, theoretical, and experimental science and to extend quantitative and other appropriate methodologies to address problems in the fields of applied chemical science. In Applied Chemistry, we are endowed with dedicated teachers and distinguished researchers who carry out cutting-edge research in all modern areas of Applied Chemistry and the inter-disciplinary regions like nanoscience and technology, high energy materials, polymer science, and technology etc.
