Bachelor of Industrial and Applied Physics
Industrial chemistry is a discipline that deals with transformation of raw materials into finished products that meet the set standards and satisfy the needs of the consumer. It entails process development, optimization, and monitoring of fundamental chemical processes used in industry for transforming these raw materials into useful products. The programme comprises of unsurpassed range of courses of Chemical Engineering, Pure Chemistry, Economics, Environmental Management, Industrial Management, and Law. It is envisaged that such a breadth of training will give graduates a wide range of skills and career paths to meet the challenges of industrial development.
