Vision: Moulding youthful girls into independent and innovative thinkers in Chemical Sciences.

Mission: To promote, inspire and nurture the fundamentals of chemistry.

M.Sc. Chemistry course has an intake of 36 students (30 students from convenor quota through University Counselling and 6 students from the management quota). Annual exam pattern was followed till the academic year 2007. Later on from academic year 2008 till present, Semester end pattern is being followed. The department comprised of 6 teaching faculty (4 Organic chemistry faculties, 1 Inorganic chemistry faculty and 1 Physical Chemistry faculty).Currently the PG department comprises of 4 teaching faculty, 1 lab assistant and 2 non-teaching staff. There is a provision of good infrastructure, library and well equipped lab for Postgraduation.

The faculty takes pride in teaching students as well offers practical training according to academic curriculum.
