Department of Applied Chemistry


It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Department of Applied Chemistry at Delhi Technological University.

During the 75-year-long journey that started in 1941 by Delhi Polytechnic to Delhi Technological University, the department has also grown to its heights. We feel pride in having a glorious past as our department is the parent department of Chemical Engineering and Textile Engineering departments, which have been en-bloc shifted to IIT Delhi in the 1960s. Also, the department has always provided ground to raise and flourish new engineering streams viz. Biotechnology, Polymer Science and Chemical Technology in the university.

I take pride in announcing that looking into the broader perspective, the department has started B.Tech. Chemical Engineering from the academic session 2020-21 and M.Sc. Chemistry from the academic session 2021-22. The department also offers Ph.D. in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering disciplines.

The department is committed to higher education and research in the areas of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering & Polymer Technology along with traditional and advanced analytical techniques. This enables the engineers not only to understand the nature of the chemicals and materials at the molecular, atomic, and sub-atomic levels but also creates the ability to modify the architecture of the molecules to incorporate desired mechanical, thermal, electrical and electronic properties to the existing materials. All the faculty members of the department strive to achieve the ultimate goal to prepare future scientists and engineers, who can be an asset to the country.

Thank you very much for your interest in our department.
