Most of the industries nowadays use the chemicals in everything directly or indirectly like in food products, pharmaceuticals, electronic products or in construction. This creates opportunities for graduates, since they have the in-depth knowledge about various chemicals, compositions and their properties. The government laboratories, universities or colleges and the industries, mainly chemical and pharmaceutical, are the three major sectors which recruit the chemistry graduates. For the entry level jobs in these fields, graduates need at least a Bachelors degree in chemistry. But for the senior positions like in research, they need Ph.D. in the same. The main employers of chemistry graduates are in the chemical and related industries, such as:
Agrochemicals
Metallurgical
Petrochemicals
Pharmaceuticals
Plastics and Polymers
Toiletries. Graduates from this course will be better prepared to understand the new environment-friendly systems and can understand the processes that the chemical industry is adopting. Some of the fields you can go into:
Analytical Chemist
Bio-medical Chemist
Chemical Engineering Associate
Industrial Research Scientist
Lab Chemist
Materials Technologist
Production Chemist
Production Officer
Quality Controller
R&D Director
Research & Development Manager
Safety Health and Environment Specialist
You may also specialize in areas of applied chemistry, such as cheminformatics or biochemistry, or develop knowledge in an area where chemistry graduates may be in demand, for example, forensic nanotechnology and forensic investigation. Further study is highly valued by employers, particularly within scientific and technical fields, as you'll develop more advanced theoretical knowledge and practical sector-specific skills. M.Sc. In Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Drug Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Physical & Materials Chemistry, Master of Business Administration (MBA) etc. Certification courses can also be one option for the B.Sc. Chemistry graduates is e. g. Post-Graduate Diploma in Analytical Chemistry (PGDAC). Some of the institutions that provide this Chemistry Courses are:
Lovely Professional University, Jalandhar
Loyola College, Chennai
St. Xaviers College, Kolkata
Marwari College, Ranchi
Mahatma Jyoti Rao Phoole University, Jaipur
Madras Christian College, Chennai
