The Department of Chemistry was established under Agra University, Apart from being one of the most prestigious departments that runs B.Sc. (since 1958), and M.Sc. (since 1966) programmes, it also offers courses in basic chemistry to undergraduate students. Currently, the department is working as a teaching Powerhouse, dedicated to shaping the future of the students, by pushing the boundaries of knowledge in the class-room and laboratories. Classes are run regularly, for all levels of UG and PG standards. Students are free to clear their doubts from teachers in the staff room. To develop the concept of the subject teaching aids like 3D models and Power point presentation, through projector, are also used.
The department has five well equipped laboratories for under-graduate and post-graduate students and research scholars. Students are given a regular curriculum, for practical training, in the laboratories, as per syllabus. The concept and principles of chemistry are experimentally elaborated, through experiment in lab, to develop the technical aptitude in students.
There is also a well-organized departmental library for post-graduate students and research scholars, where students can do their study in silence and also borrow reading materials required. Students can also clear their doubts with the teacher in-charge. There are more than one thousand quality books in the library written by well-known authors.
