Maharaja Agrasen College Chemistry department is a creative, supportive and intellectually challenging environment for study and research especially in the field of chemical sciences and provides the opportunity for an undergraduate student to obtain a thorough fundamental knowledge of all fields of chemistry. The curriculum of B.Sc Physical Science allows chemistry students to learn fundamental chemical concepts and laboratory skills and to have ample opportunity to engage in original research with guidance from a faculty mentor.
Throughout the chemistry curriculum lecture and laboratory courses are taught in conjunction with one another and students are encouraged and expected to use sophisticated instrumentation at all levels of the curriculum. The students of B.Sc. Physical Sciences (Chemistry) are well equipped to pursue Masters in Chemistry, Biotechnology, Environment Science, Nanotechnology and many more related fields.
Research Activities
Teachers and students are able to carry out their research and project works utilizing these facilities. Innovative project such as "Characterization of Corrosion resistance properties of hydroxy based compounds in mine water environment from Indian Mines Coal and empirical calculations of thermodynamic parameters" were carried out by students of B.Sc Physical Science and faculty mentor. Our Students had also actively participated in the "3rd national conference on biodiversity and climate change" held in college.
Wet and Dry Laboratories
The department of chemistry has two well-equipped laboratories (wet and dry) with required chemicals for conducting regular practical class, project reports. Theses labs are also equipped with potentiometer, conductometer, UV-vis spectrophotometer, centrifuge machines, digital weighing balance. The instruments in labs are being extensively used for carrying out various experiments prescribed in the syllabi as well as training the students in the improvement of experimental techniques.
Hazardous waste management
Proper segregation and disposal of all solid and liquid waste generated during practical is strictly followed.
Departmental Library
The departmental library has a vast collection of text books, reference books such as organic chemistry, physical chemistry and inorganic chemistry from publishing houses such as Oxford, PHI etc.
