B.Sc. chemistry program was started at Govt. College Banjar in Academic session 2012-13. The department offers a three years B.Sc. course in chemistry. The department offers a vibrant atmosphere to students to nurture the spirit of scientific inquiry. In brief, chemistry is referred as the science that systematically study the composition, properties, and reactivity of matter at atomic and molecular level. The scope of chemistry is very broad. The key areas of study of chemistry comprise Organic chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry.

Organic chemistry deals with study of substances containing carbon mostly; inorganic chemistry deals with study of all other elements/compounds/substances and their chemical properties. Physical chemistry deals with applications of concepts, laws to chemical phenomena. Analytical chemistry, in general, deals with identification and quantification of materials. Development of new interdisciplinary subjects like nano-materials, biomaterials, etc. and their applications from chemistry point of view added new dimension to materials chemistry. Thus, the degree programme in chemistry also intended to cover overlapping areas of chemistry with physics, biology, environmental sciences. Modified syllabus has been drafted to enable the students to equip for national level competitive exams that they may attempt in future. To expand the employability of graduates, a number of skill development courses are also introduced in this framework.
