The Department of Chemistry started functioning since the inception of Mother Theresa College in 2014. The department offers First Degree programme in Chemistry with Mathematics and Physics as complementary courses under Choice Based Credit and Semester System. Currently, the department has four competent faculty members with three Ph.D. holders, headed by Dr. Mary Dorothy A. At present, the number of students that get enrolled every year is thirty six. Aiming to enable students to meet global environmental issues through chemical education, we offer ‘Environmental Chemistry’ as open course for other majors. The elective paper chosen is ‘Polymer Chemistry’ where polymers form the material of the new millennium. In addition, the department conducts a short term course in “Research Methodology“ to impart a fundamental knowledge to do research in a systematic way.

A good number of our graduates pursue higher studies in various reputed institutions. Many academic activities like minor project works, industrial visits enrich the curriculum. The student participation in various quiz programmes , NSS and cultural activities keep a vibrant aura to the department.
