Question

Puneet Singh · Answer

Dear Akib, Yes, it is a good choice to pursue M.Sc (Hons. ) in Chemistry from LPU. My sister did the same programme at LPU. M.Sc (Hons. ) is a two-year (four semesters) programme, covers all the three basic domains of chemistry I. e. , Physical, Organic, and Inorganic with equal weightage. In the first semester besides teaching fundamentals in chemistry, bridge courses such as Mathematics for chemists to medical background students and Biology for chemists to non -medical students are al s o tau g ht. Teach hin g of these courses is necessary to fill the gap and prepare them to study core courses like Quantum chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Bioinorganic Chemistry, and Natural Products courses. All the theory courses are well supported by extensive laboratory courses. Three-term long dissertation work is offered in the programme to inculcate the research aptitude. High-end and research-oriented courses are also added to prepare students for higher studies and other sectors. This programme also aims to produce professional chemists for various pharmaceuticals and chemical industries and prepare students to become effective academicians and good researchers to pursue a higher degree (M.Phil or M.Tech or Ph.D). This programme develops the potential in students to meet new challenges and lay the foundation of versatility and innovative thinking needed in a career as a professional chemist. The key highlights include:- Three terms long Dissertation work for students Two courses on Fundamentals of Research and Research methodology Soft skills input Pathway electives as per Students' interest and ability to prepare them for corporate jobs and teaching. Some companies where students are working are Siegwerk, Dr. Reddys Lab, Integral Biosciences, Torrent Pharma, Indswift, Tech Mahindra, Aurigene, etc. I hope this information helps. Thanks

I being an alumnae of LPU have an in depth knowledge about your quest. It is a pleasure to answer a query related to my University. Well, I am not actually from the department of Chemistry but my friends were from department of Mathematics and Chemistry both that came under the School of Chemical engineering and Physical sciences. That is why I have a bit knowledge about Chemistry faculty too. Moreover, their words and experience I felt LPU does have a knowledgeable and experienced staff. To the best of my experience, not particularly in the department of Chemistry but LPU overall has well qualified faculty, mostly IITians and NITians. Two of my friends are currently pursuing Ph.D. in Chemistry from LPU and they are doing so well. They have started publishing papers just after the title approval, this proves that the faculty over there is incredible.
