Preamble:

The establishment of the School of Chemical Sciences by transforming one of the existing oldest (established in 1965 as a part of Centre for Post-Graduate Instruction and Research of the then Bombay University) department (of Chemistry) into a school. The School is currently located in the Faculty block E since 2013, with modern infrastructure, conducive for quality education and research in Chemistry. The School already has Organic, Inorganic, Physical and Analytical Chemistry as distinct streams. The establishment of this School is in line with the reorganization of the institutional architecture that will allow us to rebrand and showcase our strengths in research and teaching. The research at this school has been recognized by the award of projects to the individual faculty members and also receiving handsome grants from the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the Department of Science & Technology (DST), Govt. of India in their prestigious programs like UGC-SAP & DST-FIST.
