• The department offers courses related to traditional (momentum, heat, and mass transport processes, reaction engineering, thermodynamics, process control, etc.) and emerging areas (waste management, renewable energy, surface science, machine learning, nanoscience, etc.) of chemical engineering.
• The curriculum focuses on empowering the students with hands-on experience with various simulation software (such as MATLAB, Aspen, and Fluent) and laboratory exposure. The department has the support from PSUs in the Oil and Natural Gas Sector of India (HPCL, IOCL, ONGC, GAIL, etc.) to provide industry-oriented outreach to our students.
• The department has the interdisciplinary research focus and is keen to develop collaborations with industry and academia. Research themes pursued in the department include core and emerging genres, viz., distribution networks, energy storage, surface and plasma engineering, water treatment, machine learning, catalysis, bioenergy, etc.
• The department strives continually to create an environment to learn, experience, and implement. The department is committed to facilitating the creation of highly motivated intellectuals empowered with the technical skills needed to serve the chemical industries.

The Department of Chemical Engineering was established in 2016 to achieve the objectives of IIPE, i.e., providing skilled personnel for the Oil and Natural Gas industry.

• The department started its operation with a B.Tech. Chemical Engineering Program and an intake of 50 students. Subsequently, Ph.D. and Masters's degree programs are incorporated in the years 2020 and 2022 respectively.
• Process Modeling and Simulation, Energy Management, Transport Modeling, Pollution Abatement, Catalysis and Reaction Engineering, Multiphase modeling and molecular simulations, Adsorption Separation, and Polymers are the focus areas of research in the department, especially from the perspective of the oil and gas sector.
• The faculty in the department are involved in industrial consultancy and sponsored research projects. The department is steadily building up the laboratory infrastructure necessary for UG, PG, and research activities. With the steady increase in faculty research consultancies and sponsored projects, the department is progressing in the right direction of success.
• The department has an active IIChE student chapter. The department organizes webinars and tech talks to improve both the technical and behavioral skills of students.
