Chemical engineering
rooted in research.
School of Chemical Engineering at KIIT Deemed to be University (KSCE) was conceived to build an interdisciplinary academic and research centre for Eastern India, combining strong classroom foundations with frontier research in chemical engineering and materials science.
An interdisciplinary academic and research centre for Eastern India.
School of Chemical Engineering at KIIT Deemed to be University (KSCE) is conceived with the specific objective of creating an interdisciplinary academic and research center in Eastern India. The school was officially inaugurated by Prof. Hiroshi Amano (2014 Nobel Prize in Physics) in 2017.
Within a very short time, the school has established vibrant research collaborations with many foreign universities, and is a research-intensive department where all faculty are actively pursuing applied research in frontier areas of Chemical Engineering & Materials Science.
The students, faculty and staff of KIIT School of Chemical Engineering comprise an educational society dedicated to the conservation, communication and unearthing of knowledge, alongside active pursuit of reality. True to this principle, the school upholds its responsibility to give every scholar the opportunity to widen their educational potential while holding on to the free exercise of rights and freedoms as a citizen.
A clear academic purpose in chemical engineering and materials science.
The School’s vision and mission guide its teaching, research and industry engagement in chemical and allied disciplines.
To be a nationally recognized undergraduate chemical engineering program coupled with research strengths in catalytic reaction engineering, materials science and engineering, process safety, process systems engineering, applied thermodynamics, polymers, mineral processing and biochemical engineering.
