Later on, in August, 2014 the department has introduced Post Graduate Programme, M.Sc. Chemistry under the leadership of Principal Prof.Preet Mohinder Pal Singh. The department furnishes the opportunity for students to obtain comprehensive fundamental knowledge of all fields of chemistry such as organic, inorganic, physical, biophysical and analytical. It also provides students with laboratory experience in inorganic and organic synthesis, analytical methods and physical chemical measurements. Thus department of chemistry offers both theoretical and practical knowledge of chemistry.  Chemistry plays a key role in the studies of medicine, biology and technology. Chemistry department has close cooperation with other disciplines such as physics, mathematics and biology. Faculty members are available as academic advisors for consultation about their courses. They have a good rapport with the students. Faculty members motivate and guide students about various career opportunities. Frequent seminars, webinars have been organized for the benefit of teachers as well as students. Currently the department has three chemistry laboratories which are equipped with latest chemicals, apparatus and instruments.
