Department & Head
The Department of Chemical Engineering was started in 1996 to cater to the requirements of chemical industry. The department has highly experienced and dedicated faculty & staff with educational background from renowned institutions in the country. The intake of the B.Tech. Chemical Engg. course is 15 seats. The department started a new course of B.Sc in Environmental Sciences in the year 2022 with an intake of 30 seats. Department of Chemical Engineering endeavors to develop the competencies in the students for any challenge in their professional practice and contribute to society. Students are encouraged to take up projects, which will help them to sharpen their Chemical Engineering and Environmental Sciences related skills in practice.
Department is presently being headed by Dr. Balpreet Kaur who has obtained her Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Thapar University, Patiala. She is actively involved in research, expert talks and has been undertaking funded projects. |
