The department of Chemical Engineering was established in the year 1992 with B. Tech. program having an intake of 60 students. During the year 2000, M. Tech. program in Chemical Engineering and during 2001 M.Tech. program in Environmental Engineering with intake of 18 students each, were introduced. The department has also started Ph.D program from the academic year 2003 and the department has the distinction of producing first Ph.D. in the University. The department has a dedicated team of faculty members. Majority of the faculty members are Ph.D. holders. The focus of the department is to produce high quality engineers with strong fundamentals in Chemical Engineering. The department maintains excellent rapport with nearby chemical industries. The department has also received funding from AICTE, UGC, ONGC and DST for various research projects. The department has very good analytical facility to support the research projects. Majority of the students passed out from the department are extremely doing well in industry and academia. As per the curriculum requirements, the students have to undergo industrial exposure and industrial training at the end of second and third years of B. Tech. program, respectively. The department also organizes industrial visits to nearby Chemical industries for better understanding of the theoretical aspects. Students are encouraged to participate in conferences, seminars, workshops, paper publications, annual sports, etc. The department and the Chemical Engineering Association (ChEA) regularly organize “Chemfraternity”, a state level technical festival, with the support of industries. The Department of Chemical Engineering is one of the most preferred destinations in the state of Maharashtra.
