This department was started in the year 1978 and was one of the first few colleges to
offer the Chemical Engineering course in the Bangalore University. The department has
done pioneering work in the development of specialized laboratories and has consequently
setup pilot plant laboratory to extend the bench scale results of the students to nearly
industrial magnitude.
Highlights
- Pilot plant laboratory with prototype equipments used in process plants.
- Highest floor space index and highest staff to student ratio.
- Final year students conducting projects at organisations like KSCST, EPIRI, BHEL, INBRI.
- Society of chemical engineers engaged in conducting technical lectures, industrial visits, etc.,
- Well equipped seminar hall for curricular and co-curricular activities.
- Major share in the University ranks every year.
