CHEMISTRY
The Department of Chemistry was started on the academic year 2003.It is one of the most notable departments in Muthayammal College of Arts & Science.
Role
Chemistry’s influence in our life is abundant. In nutshell, without chemistry there is nothing in the world. Our body is a complex of chemical molecules having water, amino acids, carbohydrates, iron, fats, oils, DNA, RNA, vitamins and many metals in minute quantities. Any luxury in life means chemistry and its applications. From dawn to dusk that is starting from paste, brush to the food and medicaments in night are nothing but chemistry in its different forms. Apart from the day to day ordinary things paints, fertilizers, pesticides, medicines, papers, food beverages and polymers such as PVC, polyethylene, polyesters, rubbers chemistry is serving every need.
Importance
Chemistry is the alpha and omega of the world. One who enters the field of chemistry surely could become a remarkable man. Chemistry is not only theoretical but also a good practical and applied course. Every minute, chemistry is growing and renewing itself and it introduces new invaluable things to the world. In such a way, the Department of Chemistry (MCAS) has importance in the production of good chemists in the world!
Courses Offered
The Department of chemistry offers chemistry courses at undergraduate as well as postgraduate levels, on full-time basis.
Eligibility
B.Sc.Chemistry A pass in Higher Secondary Examination with a minimum of 55% marks with Mathematics and Physics.
M.Sc.Chemistry B.Sc., Chemistry with Mathematics and Physics as allied subjects. B.Sc., Bio-chemistry and similar courses with chemistry as one of the allied subjects with a minimum of 55% marks.
Course Objectives & Job opportunities
Chemistry is one department in which the students can go for higher studies and jobs very easily. Chemistry has a wide scope not only in teaching but also in technical line, like industry-based and pharmaceuticals fields. Chemistry is the basis for all the other fields such as Biochemistry, Microbiology, Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, etc.
One who studies chemistry has job opportunities as Lab Chemist, Analytical Chemist, Quality Controller, Production Manager, Research Associate, and Scientist in various institutions and industries. Government has introduced many projects based on electrochemical items, batteries, plating, cells, drug synthesis, extraction of natural products, protein purification etc. Many institutes and corporations in India are recruiting graduates and post graduates in chemistry, Central Electrochemical Research Institute at Karaikudi, BABA atomic research institute in Mumbai, Atomic Power station at Kalpakkam, Neyveli Lignite Corporation of India (NLC) at Neyveli, to name but a few. These institutes offer project fellowships and research project fellowships, especially for chemistry students
