Department of Chemistry offers PG degree in M.Sc. Chemistry and *M.Sc. Pharmaceutical Chemistry. Department of chemistry is making its mark at different levels in a number of frontier areas of chemistry. This department is deeply involved in research and teaching and mesh together impeccably-one without the other is incomplete.

Therefore we have ensured the development of a collaborative environment conducive to learning, exposure to the best practices and promotion of innovation and creativity. This department is emerging as a potential hub to impart education, training and entrepreneurship development skills to the students. The department is heading well as per vision for education to engender new breed of human resource who would be job creators and not job seekers. It is a matter of great prides that during teaching and academic work, Department of Chemistry, ISLE participated in some new frontiers of chemistry by attending symposia, publishing their research work in Journals of National & International repute & being a part of project and dissertation in national esteemed organization.

* Likely to be started.

The present faculty members are actively engaged, beside their teaching program, in pursuing research in frontier areas of chemistry. As a result, around 65 research papers were published from this department in reputed National and International Journals and proceedings. To keep abreast with the advancement in leading edges of Chemistry, our faculty members have been visiting the conferences of foreign countries (Hungary & Thailand, etc) .Research areas being pursued in the Department are mainly focused on the development of materials of technological and biological importance. A Collaborative efforts has been made with IUC – DAE consortium and School of Chemical Sciences DAVV Indore in development of efficient asymmetric synthesis method - titanium ferrate catalyzed enantio selective epoxidation, epoxidation of olifins over UHP adduct in Vapour Phase & liquid phase and ammonoximation of cyclohexanone over nanoporous materials and their characterization, Nanocrystalline MGO catalyzed synthesis of monoglycerides & its transformation to rigid thermoset polymer. Some efforts also made in synthesis, structural characterization ,antimicrobial studies and SAR,QSAR,QSPR and PRECLAV studies of Mannich bases and Research on 13 C-NMR Chemical Shift as molecular descriptor using in Drug Design.
