Department of Chemistry

This department was originally created to be a service department to Engineering courses in Dr. M.G.R. Engineering College. But ever since the upgradation of the status to Deemed University, the department has expanded to its true potential to run even P.G course in polymer chemistry. Collaborative research programmes can be undertaken, which will help in registering patents of commercial value. This would enable the department to be self-sustaining. In near future we hope that the department would be ranked one among the best in India.
