The Post Graduate Department of Chemistry was established by MSCB University (Erstwhile North Orissa University) in August 2004. The Department offer programs leading to M. Sc. and Ph.D. degrees. Since its inception the Department has made great strides by revising and updating the syllabus time and again. With its excellent instrumentation facility the department is well equipped to execute research in frontier areas of Chemical/Physical/Materials Sciences spanning a broad range of areas including organic synthesis, catalysis, nanochemistry, functional materials and theoretical/computational Chemistry. It has received funds from University Grants Commission (UGC) under Departmental Special Assistance Programme (SAP) (2009-14) and Department of Science and Technology (DST), Govt. of India under FIST Programme (2009-14 & 2019-24). Faculty members of the Department have received funds from different national agencies viz. SERB, UGC, CSIR, DST, BRNS, and ANRF etc for execution of their research projects. Regular seminar presentation is organised by the Department where M.Sc. students presents scientific talks to promote interactive learning among students. The Department has a strong network of its alumni for career support, mentorship and also contributing to our fundraising efforts. Apart from this the Department invites our alumni on a regular basis to deliver talks that bridge the gap between their aspirations and achievement. The Departments also organizes National Level Seminars on frontiers areas of chemistry to foster scientific exchange and inspire our budding chemists through insightful lectures by distinguish experts. Our students have been regular qualifiers of various national level entrance examinations both for higher education as well as for regular placement. The Department possesses several sophisticated instruments to support research in frontier areas which includes Dynamic Light Scattering, Fluorescence Spectrofluorometer, UV-Visible Spectrophotometer, Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, , Pore size analyzer, TG-DTA, desk top powder XRD, Ion Exchange Chromatography, Lyophilizer, Rotary Vacuum Evaporator etc., water thermostat with (-20 ºC to 80 ºC) with circulating facility, Oxygen Permeation Meter, Limiting Oxygen Index etc.
