Department of Chemistry was established in 2014, and since then, it has been offering M.Sc. course. The Department started its Ph.D. programme in 2018. Some of the major research areas are Biodiesel, Catalysis, Natural Products, Synthesis of Inorganic Compounds, Materials Science and Polymer Chemistry. The Department has four laboratories (two for M.Sc. practical and two for research work) to carry out practical and research activities. The Department is well-equipped with all the essential laboratory facilities for PG practicals. It has instruments like precision electronic balance, heating oven, vacuum oven, rotary evaporator, magnetic stirring & heating plate with precision temperature controller, nitrogen gas circulation assembly and sophisticated instruments like UV-Vis and HPLC cum GPC. The Department had received eight (08) desktop computers from NTPC, Bongaigaon under CSR–CD NTPC to set up a computer lab for students. The fund received from a DST-SERB sponsored research project has also been used to develop the DST-SERB sponsored research lab infrastructure. Currently, some of our passed-out students have been pursuing their Ph.D. at different Institutions and Universities like IIT Kharagpur, IIT Kanpur, NEIST (Jorhat), NEHU (Shillong), IASST (Boragaon, Guwahati), Tezpur University, Gauhati University and Bodoland University.
