The Department of Chemical Engineering was established in the year 1995 to offer undergraduate (UG) program with an intake of 40 students and subsequently increased to an intake of 60 students by the year 1997. Since then, the department has gained recognition and prominence as the most sought option for admission into Undergraduate Program in Chemical Engineering. The department was accredited by NBA for the first time during the year 2004 for a period of three years. Later, the department continued to be successively accredited during the years 2008, 2012 and 2017, each time for a period of three years.
The graduated chemical engineers have many career options to choose – like placement in MNCs, industry, teaching, research or an admission into PG courses like M.Tech, M.S or MBA in India or countries like USA, U.K, Germany and Australia. A few of our graduates turn as entrepreneurs. The department continues to upgrade chemical engineering syllabus structure, experiments and infrastructure to keep abreast with latest developments in chemical engineering and allied fields.
The department has instituted Chemical Engineering Clinic, Innovative cell and Hobby cell to hone the skills of the students. Apart from regular class work, the students regularly update and develop through various co-curricular activities organized in the department like seminars, conferences, workshops, industrial visits, summer internship training and invited talks by eminent personality like successful alumni, scientists and industrialists. The department has Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers (IIChE) students’ chapter, a professional body that was adjudged as Best Students’ Chapter in the country during the year 2001.
The department is collaborating with other departments of the institute: Biotechnology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics and working together under the umbrella of ‘Centre of Life Sciences Research’. The chemical engineering staff is working on multidisciplinary emerging areas of science, technology and engineering in collaboration with other experts of this center. The department has a proposal to establish a “Smart Centre for Green Engineering and Technology-Research”. The objective is to promote collaborative research and co-curricular academic activities through skill development programs, certification courses and training programs for students in the niche areas of chemical engineering.
Experts are being drawn from industries, research organizations and academic institutions of private and public sectors to be included in our Industry Advisory Panel (IAP). The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) of CBIT at national level with CSIR-IICT and at international level with Rowan University-USA shall strengthen the department linkages towards academics and research development.
The department has highly energetic and enthusiastic staff with academic and research pursuit. They are involved in the institute level activities like MSME Business Incubation Centre, T-Hub, Cyber security group and ATAL Community Innovation nodal center.
