Offering both undergraduate (B-Tech) and postgraduate (M.Tech and PhD) programs, the Department of Chemical Engineering aims to provide students with the extensive knowledge they need to be a part of the Energy Sector in the Indian Industrial space. The courses provided are a balanced mix of traditional areas—reaction engineering, thermodynamics, process control, etc.—and emerging areas—waste management, renewable energy, machine learning, nanoscience, etc.—of chemical engineering. Students are given hands-on experience with various simulation software (MATLAB, Aspen, Fluent), along with access to laboratories which have the latest equipment and machinery. The department faculty are involved in industrial consultancy and various sponsored involved in various research projects, particularly interdisciplinary ones, in collaboration with industry. The focus areas of this research in the department include distribution networks, energy storage, surface and plasma engineering, water treatment, machine learning, and pollution abatement, to name a few. With support from Indian PSUs in the oil and natural gas sectors (Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL), Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Gas Authority of India Ltd. (GAIL), etc.), the Department of Chemical Engineering continually strives to create an environment wherein students can not only learn, but also experience and implement; to become highly motivated individuals with the skill and knowledge required to make a difference in the Chemical Industry.

The goal of the program is to cultivate skilled Mechanical Engineers who possess specialized Skills and knowledge required for energy industry. The program aims to provide students with a strong foundation in basic and applied Mechanical Engineering principles while fostering innovative thinking to address energy and environmental challenges. By participating in this program, students will develop the skills necessary to thrive in a rapidly evolving field that encounters various technological advancements. Throughout the course, significant emphasis will be placed on enhancing students' abilities to tackle complex technical problems in diverse interdisciplinary contexts
