Academic Programs Offered By the Department:

History and Growth of the Department:

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. The first Ph.D. student of DIAT (DU) was from the Department of Applied Chemistry. It is currently amongst the Department guiding a very high number of Ph.D. scholars and research publications in DIAT. In addition to Ph.D., there are numbers of M. Tech. & M. Sc. students carrying their PG education. We provide a vibrant and creative learning environment for our students and researchers. We also participate extensively in R&D for various DRDO labs and industries and in recent past the dept  faculty have completed more than 20 front line R&D projects funded by various organizations. In recent times, the Department has made significant contributions to the revenue generation through grant-in-projects and customized courses. The Department of Applied Chemistry imparts education and training to tri-services, DRDO officers, and civilian research scholars in Chemical Technology, Energetic Materials & Polymers & allied courses. The Department contributes to the general 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 applied chemical science. Deptt. regularly conducts FDPs, Trainings, workshops and conferences.
