About the Department:

The Department of Chemical Engineering, established in 1956, is one of the oldest disciplines at Bit Sindri. It is considered as a premier center for Chemical Engineering in India by industries as well as academia. The department offers four-year B. Tech. degree course and postgraduate program of M. Tech. with specialization in Chemical Plant Design in Engineering. It has experienced and qualified faculties, associated with numerous industrial projects to promote research and development. The department has several well-equipped laboratories such as Unit Operations Lab, Process Control Lab, Petroleum Refinery Engineering Lab, Plastic Technology Lab, Process Engineering Lab, Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics Lab etc. With talented and well-placed students, Department of Chemical Engineering holds a good association of its alumni all over the world. 

Message by Head of the Department:

Chemical Engineering Dept. has been established in 1956 with three faculties and they have successfully carried out entire department work. At present there are 17 faculties from different states with different specialization and impendent knowledge. The academic programs have been designed in a systematic and flexible structure to acquire value added knowledge and overall improvement of students.

Our Dept. maintains a good record in the research area, PSU domain and consultancy. To further enhance our academia, department has MoU with CSIR-CIMFR lab, IIT-ISM Dhanbad and offers interdisciplinary courses and workshops. Now we are in a process of establishing a world class research facility and learning in order to develop new technologies for betterment of society.
