Modern industry has created a need for young people thoroughly trained in the field of chemistry. The type of work which may be pursued by the chemistry graduate is highly diversified and varies with the particular aptitudes and interests of the individual. Students in the chemistry department pursue all the fundamental courses such as qualitative and quantitative analysis, organic chemistry, industrial chemical analysis, bacteriology and physical chemistry. This basic chemical training together with intense specialization in dyes and textiles provides our graduates with almost unlimited opportunities to secure lucrative positions after their graduation from the college. Our graduates are now employed in more than thirty diversified industries other than in dyestuffs, textile chemistry and finishing. Among them are rubber, fuels, oils and lubricants, plastics, foods, inks, paper and leather.
