About P.G.Department of Chemistry
The history of our Chemistry Department began in 1960, when G.S.S.D.G.S. Khalsa College was established. The Aim of the department of chemistry is to build a rich intellectual potential embedded with interdisciplinary knowledge, human values and professional ethics among the youth, so that they contribute to society and create a niche for a successful carrier. In the quest of academic excellence, the Department is dedicated in providing the best quality and up-to-date education for our students. We offer degree programmes at undergraduate and postgraduate level. The department offers Masters Degrees in Chemistry in three fields of specialisation (Inorganic, Organic and Physical chemistry) and undergraduate degree in B.Sc. Honors chemistry. Our college is the first one to start B.Sc. Honors chemistry course in Punjabi University. Beside academic activities, to create awareness about environment in students, chemistry department is organising various activities under green chem club. At the chemistry department we wish to provide our students the best possible learning environment to help them identify their career objectives, to express, organize, and implement their ideas individually as well as collectively.
These aims are served well by:
- Well equipped laboratories which are upgraded from time to time,
- A competent, hardworking, sincere faculty,
- An enthusiastic, forward looking, supportive management,
- Industrial visits of students from time to time,
- Encouraging students to participate in various national conferences and seminars.
We strive to enrich the teaching-learning process by way of
- Regular tests and assignments,
- External guest lectures by subject experts,
- Encouraging students to make presentations, organize seminars, and other activities.
The Department comprises of extremely well qualified and highly competent faculty members. Besides teaching, faculty has active, funded research projects that stretch this traditional structure to cover an exciting array of interdisciplinary research. Various faculty members have made significant contributions in coordination chemistry, polymer chemistry, organometallic chemistry, synthetic organic chemistry apart from the natural products, heterocyclic chemistry, and analytical chemistry. The faculty has published many research papers in reputed peer reviewed Journals. The Department has one patent to its credit

Programme Outcomes (P.O.):
The course teaches advanced topics in chemistry. Experts from the academics and industry field have structured courses. It enables a student to have a detailed knowledge of inorganic, organic, physical, and analytical chemistry. After doing a master’s degree in chemistry, students can join further research and are also eligible for teaching Chemistry as well as for jobs in industries like pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies. Most chemists use their research skills to formulate, produce, characterize, and analyze new compounds for specific applications. The chemists are mainly involved in finding new cures and discovering new molecules through a wide variety of techniques studied during the course. Many chemists start out in the lab and then move on to another laboratory career such as process chemistry, formulation chemistry, quality control, or quality assurance. They may also move to other careers such as teaching, regulatory affairs, project management, and production.
Programme Specific Outcomes (P.S.O.):
1. Students have the knowledge of basic concepts of inorganic, organic and physical chemistry. Students also acquire the knowledge of some concepts of mathematics, biology and computer which can be applied in chemistry.
2. To give students a comprehensive understanding of the principles of Chemistry.
3. To gain the skill to design and carry out scientific experiments and interpret the data.
