Department of Chemistry

The Department of Chemistry was established in the year 1979 and is one of the oldest departments of DSCE. The department adopts the best pedagogical methods to maximize knowledge transfer and imparts interdisciplinary thinking by providing the students with educational and research opportunities between Chemistry and other fields of study. Currently, the department is offering BE courses for first-year students and elective courses for higher semesters. The department also offers a Ph.D. degree in various specializations of Chemistry. The department is well-equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure which includes the VTU research centre, affiliated with Visvesvaraya Technological University, Belagavi. The department executed a few research projects funded by VGST and VTU. Also, the department has received a funded project from Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), Govt. of India. The department holds many publications in peer-reviewed international journals with a high impact factor. Department of Chemistry has an MOU for research and holds an institutional membership with the Electrochemical Society of India, IISc campus. All the faculty members are experienced, qualified doctorates, and are committed to research in various specializations. Apart from this, the Department of Chemistry regularly organizes invited talks, expert lectures, webinars, and Industry Institute interactions for the students and faculty members to motivate and update themselves with the latest emerging technologies.

🧬

Department of Biotechnology

The Bachelor of Engineering in Biotechnology program began in 2006, followed by the Ph.D. in Faculties of Technology, Biotechnology in 2010. The Department has been accredited by the NBA since 2017. It offers expertise in applied biological sciences, computational biology, and biochemical engineering, integrating academic training with research in interdisciplinary biotechnology. Faculty and students have published in SCI and SCOPUS-indexed journals. To date, the Department has received ₹2.90 crore in R&D grants from agencies such as DST, DBT, VGST, and KSCST. It also operates a semi-commercial Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory, providing quality tissue cultured plantlets to farmers. The Association of Microbiologists of India (AMI), Bangalore Chapter, DSCE, established in 2013, won the AMI Best Unit Awards in 2018 and consecutively from 2021 to 2025.
