Course by thesis was conducted during the same time later replaced (from 1977) as a two year M.Sc. Course with specialization in Organic Chemistry. M.Phil degree was introduced in 1973, which was offered jointly with the departments of Physical Chemistry and Inorganic Chemistry. Since then the department is focusing its efforts in teaching and research activities at M.Sc., M.Phil and Ph.D levels. Dr. K. N. Menon was the first Head of the Department and later Dr. S.
