Academics
The Department of Chemistry established in September 1963 has a renowned faculty actively engaged in research areas such as Solid State & Nano-materials, Biochemistry, Computational Chemistry, and Synthetic Chemistry. The Department has thirty four distinguished faculties trained at renowned Institutes in India and abroad. In addition, the Department is supported by a dedicated team of staff members. One of our key objectives is to create good quality human resource. The Department offers a two years M.Sc programme, a two years M.Tech programme and a Ph.D programme. Doctoral and postdoctoral research are carried out in all major areas of chemistry and allied sciences. The Department is adequately equipped with state-of-art analytical facilities to carry out modern day chemistry.
Doctoral program (Ph. D.) Code: CYZ
The department of Chemistry at IIT Delhi provides an excellent opportunity to carry out graduate research work in multidisciplinary research areas (check https://chemistry.iitd.ac.in/ongoing-research). Students having M.Sc./M Tech (M. Sc. in Chemistry/Biochemistry/Biotechnology/Life Sciences/Material Science) can apply to this program. There are various fellowship options - (i) institute-funded Ph. D. (see details here), and (ii) CSIR/UGC/INSPIRE fellowships (see details here) students can avail for their graduate studies and research. Further details of the eligibility criteria can be found on the institute's website.
