PhD PROGRAM 
OVERVIEW
Candidates can pursue a PhD in Chemistry full-time or part-time at the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology (CCB). National-level entrance exams like GATE, NET/JRF, CSIR, etc., are used to choose candidates for admission to the PhD program (CCB), and a thorough viva-voce is then held. The option to convert into an integrated PhD is available to internal two-year M.Sc./M.Tech. students finishing their M.Sc./M.Tech. The department also accepts Ph.D. applications from students with degrees from IITS and other distinguished universities. According to the institute's policies, registered PhD students will receive a monthly fellowship. Organic, inorganic, physical, and materials chemistry are among the core chemistry specialities in which the department grants PhDs.
STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITIES
A 400 MHz NMR facility financed by DST-FIST is available at the Department. The institute's Central Research Facility (CRF) is furnished with a variety of cutting-edge research tools to support experimental studies in a number of fields, such as Micro-Raman, EPMA, Particle size Analyzer, CHNS/O Analyzer, HRMS, HRTEM, FESEM, Single crystal XRD, Power-XRD, XPS, ICP-OES and UV-VIS-NIR Spectrometer.
The institute also features a central High-Performance Computing (HPC) facility for simulations and theoretical and computational modelling. For biological research, a state-of-the-art cell-culture lab is available.
RESEARCH OUTPUT
The Department has consistently published research articles with high impact factors in reputable national and international peer-reviewed journals. A number of intellectual properties have been submitted, published, or granted by the Department.
PLACEMENTS
