DEPARTMENT HISTORY

  • The Department of Chemical Engineering was the fifth department to be started in 1978 at MSRIT. The Department is certified thrice in succession by the National Board for Accreditation, certified with ‘A’ grade by NAAC and was ISO 9001:2000 certified till January 2016. Over 2000 students have graduated in 34 batches. The Bangalore Regional Centre of the Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers is functioning from this department for almost a decade. The country’s most prestigious event in Chemical Engineering CHEMCON-2011 was organized at MSRIT.
  • The department has handled several projects sponsored by DRDO, VTU, IEI and KSCST. The department is approved as Research Center by VTU for acquiring higher qualification leading to M.Sc by Research and Ph.D degrees. The expertise of the faculty covers a wide range of disciplines and they are engaged in cutting edge technological research. The department offers excellent infrastructure.
  • With the qualified, dedicated staff and committed students, the results are always good. The students are encouraged to participate in extra-curricular and co-curricular activities under the aegis of IIChE student chapter. The conducive professional atmosphere helps the students in their all-round development and to become dedicated to profession. Students have won various prestigious awards, international internships and high accolades for innovative projects.
  • The department takes pride in its past achievements and has the dream and action plans to make it as one of the best Chemical Engineering Department.
