The department of chemistry is established in the year 1982. The department offers Engineering Chemistry for I/II sem. B. E., Technical Chemistry and Instrumental Analysis for B.E. programs in Chemical Engineering at III and IV semester level respectively. The department has well qualified, experienced and highly dedicated faculty members. The department has research centre recognized by Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), Belagavi from the year 2014. Apart from regular teaching, the faculties are involved in research and consultancy activities. Many faculties are recognized as research supervisors at VTU Belagavi. The department is running an externally funded project from VGST with 20 Lakhs research grant money. Faculties have published many research papers in reputed peer-reviewed journals as well as presented their work in several national and international conferences.
