The 4-year Bachelor of Science (Research) Programme programme in chemistry intends to provide a rich mix of fundamental courses in all the sciences, namely chemistry, physics, biology and mathematics, during the first three semesters, along with a basic foundation in principles of engineering. This combination, we believe, will enable students to pursue advanced degrees in emerging interdisciplinary areas wherein major strides are expected in the coming decades. In addition, the students will also be exposed to several courses in humanities that will provide them with a better appreciation of science and its societal implications, and will also sharpen their skills in communicating science to both experts and to society at large. After the successful completion of the first three semesters, students majoring in chemistry will be required to take a fixed number of compulsory chemistry core-courses that would give them the requisite foundation to pursue various specialized areas.
