Introduction

The Department of Chemistry of the UIET has been running various teaching courses for two departments of the institute such as Chemical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering besides teaching one basic course in Chemistry for all six branches of Engineering for B.Tech. The Department has been also running M.Sc. Industrial Chemistry since 2017 for 25 seats per year. The course is purely employment oriented. The department is most actively involved in high quality research of international standards. It is clearly evident with the number of publications in the top most journals of the world. The situation is fully ripe for us to provide academic and research leadership to the city of Kanpur and other neighboring cities. We are also well poised to organize state level seminars, symposia and conferences.
