Strength	Well qualified teaching staff with Ph.D and NET/SET Central Instrumentation Facility (CIF) with sophisticated analytical instruments such as HPLC, GC-MS, FT-IR, UV-Visible Spectrophotometer, AAS, TG-DTA, BET Surface Area Analyzer etc. Four Research Laboratories with well equipped research infrastructure. Total 142 Research Articles, 09 Book Chapters/Proceedings and 09 Patents were published . Departmental library with sufficient reference books 20 Research Supervisors in-house (09) and associated (11) 64 Research scholars: with 13 full-time research scholars with ongoing research fellowships. Rs. 72,33,039 Research grant recieved from various funding institutes ( One Major Research project from CSIR: Rs. 22,55,000/-, One research Project from DST-SERB : Rs. 42,61.039/- and Three Minor research projects under ASPIRE Research Mentorship Grant from SPPU Pune : Rs. 7,17,000/-)
Weakness	No student exchange programme yet, but department is trying for the same. No incubation of strong research due to limited number of collaborations with reputed industries.
Opportunities	The New Education Policy provide an opportunity for the Chemistry students through interdiciplinary teaching learning method. Advancement in Scientific Research Collaboration with Academia and Industries of international repute. To develop social awareness in students in the perspective of chemical science. To prepare students for IIT, IISER, NCL and other reputed institutes.To commence more skill development programmes in the subject.
Challenges	To increase high scientific temper among students. To link up the teaching learning process with the need of industries To cultivate and initiate students to perceive higher education at international repute. To increase campus placement for the students for various academic and industrial organizations.

Future plan

To upgrade the Central Instrumentation Facility (CIF) with advanced instruments to meet current research challenges.

To start the modern research facility to initiate collaborative research with reputed industries.

To initiate the student exchange programme with the National / International Institute.

To start the interdisciplinary courses.

To start the incubation center in campus.
