Department of Chemistry
Chemistry Department was established in the year 1998, during the inception of the Institution. The Chemistry department offers Engineering Chemistry (Theory & Practical) for all the branches of First Year BE. The department was approved by the VTU as research centre in the year 2008. The department has well qualified and experienced faculty, with all necessary infrastructure. The faculties are actively involved in research work, publishing the research articles in national and international journals. Chemistry Department has facilities for conducting micro analytical work, chemical investigation of materials including analysis of ores and alloys. Instruments like, pH meter, Conductivity meter, Colorimeter, Spectrophotometer etc.,
Vision
- To create quality engineers with a strong knowledge of chemistry and its applications which helps them to develop creative ideas in technological advances.
- To create an open and conductive environment for faculty and students to carry out research and excel in their field of specialization.
Mission
- The mission is to provide strong base in applied sciences to the students of engineering and technology, thereby forming bedrock to all technical sciences.
- To focus especially on Innovation and development of technologies that are sustainable and Inclusive, and thus benefits all sections of the society.

- The Engineering Chemistry Laboratory is well equipped with high-end instruments, well aerated and spacious hall of floor area 1900 square feet. It provides with store room for safe keeping of corrosive chemicals. There is a room exclusively for preparation of reagents for experiments. Each working table is big enough to accommodate necessary glass wares to carry out experiments. Separate heating place is provided as a safety measure.
- Lab is a required component of most engineering courses. Learning about the lab procedures and performing experiments help to learn techniques that reinforce text book concepts which the students of engineering must master for application in career and daily life. The Faculty of the Chemistry at VVIET clearly understands the importance of laboratory work in the study of chemistry and committed to educate the students in lab skills. The experiments prescribed by VTU have been optimized so that each and every student can conduct experiments independently.
