PROGRAM OUTCOME:

An M Sc Chemistry graduate can make a successful career in various fields, like
Synthetic Lab Scientist | Solid State Chemistry Expert | Research Officer (Chemistry/ Biochemistry) | Application Specialist – Analytical Chemistry | Research Scientist | Quality control chemist | Chemist | Quality Assurance Officer | Quality control inspector | Research Manager etc. At the government level, there are a number of job opportunities, and a vast scope of research work. Some of the government jobs that students can apply for are: Chemist | Assistant professor | Production supervisor | Quality control analyst | Senior Research Associate | Lab technologist | Research engineer | Research analyst | Research officer | Warehouse supervisor, etc.

Research and Post Research studies are the other opportunities subsequent to PG in Organic Chemistry. The department has an accomplished history in training the students to the needs of the industry. The result-oriented teaching has fetched placements in reputed pharmaceutical industries like Dr Reddy’s Laboratories, Aurobindo Pharma Ltd, Vimta Labs etc. Students of the department have even been absorbed by companies as Scientists. Students who have a flair for teaching have also established themselves as successful government teachers and lecturers in and around Visakhapatnam.

INFRASTRUCTURE:

Laboratories:
The Department has five spacious and well equipped laboratories that house sophisticated instruments like UV spectrophotometer, UV-VIS spectrophotometer, Flame Photometer, Dissolved oxygen Meter, Potentiometer, Conductometer, etc. These instruments are available for the students to conduct experiments as well as assist the faculty for research studies. The students conduct the experiments under the strict vigilance of the faculty along with two well trained and experienced laboratory assistants. Safety is given highest priority to keep the students away from any unwanted mishaps.

Library:
The PG College library situated on the first floor of Block 6 is well furnished with multiple collection of books related to different branches of Chemistry. The library is open between 9 am to 4 pm.
